Our guiding principles that shape every initiative and partnership we undertake.
Our vision is to build a global network of young people who are aware, prepared and ready to take responsibility for the future of their communities and countries. We envision a world in which young people are not passive observers, but active agents of change, capable of transforming local challenges into opportunities for collective progress and long-term development.
Youth as protagonists of change
GYE is committed to fostering meaningful cooperation between local actors, public institutions and international partners. Through dialogue, partnerships and joint initiatives, we support the exchange of knowledge, resources and opportunities between the regions where we operate, local governments and European institutions. Our work promotes long-term collaboration between communities and institutions.
Fostering partnerships and shared solutions
We are committed to building structural bridges between institutions in developing countries and those in Italy and Europe, fostering genuine and equal dialogue that leads to shared solutions. We do all this by promoting sustainable, inclusive development models that deeply respect human dignity, focusing on economic autonomy, democratic transition, access to education and the protection of the most vulnerable, primarily minors..
