What is Youth Speak?
Youth Speak is an initiative based on the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, encouraging youth to discuss the challenges of the modern world and participate in their solution. In Serbia, it is realized for the eleventh time, aiming to inspire youth to learn, think, and create changes through concrete actions. This is not an event where you just listen to problems. This is a space where you talk, suggest, work in a team, and see how youth ideas can become real actions.
Concept of the Youth Speak Initiative
The concept of the Youth Speak initiative consists of three key steps: a survey that captures young people's views, a forum where those ideas turn into concrete discussion, and projects through which proposals are carried out and bring real change to the community.
Youth Speak Survey
Before the forum itself, the Youth Speak Survey gives young people space to express their views, values, and needs regarding education, employment, and social change. Your response becomes part of a broader picture of how young people see their future and what they expect from companies, institutions, and society.
Youth Speak Forum
The Youth Speak Forum is an interactive event that brings together young people, companies, and organizations with a common goal - to raise awareness of challenges and initiate changes in society together. During the forum, you participate in discussions, listen to relevant stories from practice, and work on case study tasks related to corporate social responsibility and SDG goals.
Youth Speak Projects
The best ideas from the forum can be continued through Youth Speak Projects - practical projects through which proposals are further developed and turned into concrete actions that contribute to the community.
What do you get by participating?
Youth Speak is a space where your opinion actually matters. Through discussions on important social topics and working on concrete challenges, you get the opportunity to show how our generation envisions solutions for a better future. See what awaits you in the project.
Your voice gets space
Youth Speak gives you the opportunity to say what young people really think about education, employment, society, and the future. Your ideas, views, and questions become part of a conversation that includes youth, companies, and organizations.
You work on real social challenges
Through case study tasks and interactive sessions, you don't just stay with theory. You work on concrete topics related to sustainable development, CSR activities, and challenges that affect the community.
You connect with people who want change
You meet young people who think like you, company representatives, and organizations that want to contribute to society. Youth Speak is a space for discussion, networking, and exchanging ideas that can grow into concrete actions.
You learn how an idea becomes action
From the survey, through the forum, to the projects - you see the whole process: how a problem is recognized, how it is discussed, and how proposals can be developed into solutions that bring measurable social impact.
Who is Youth Speak for?
Youth Speak is for young people who want their voice to matter - who love to discuss, work on real challenges, and build connections with companies and organisations shaping the future of the community.
You want to talk about issues that matter to young people and have your opinion heard and seen.
