We are inviting you to the 23rd edition of the IYC 2025, that will take place from 25th to 29th September 2025, traditionally in the town of Krusevo, North Macedonia.
This year, we will convene the most active young people from 16 countries to work together for the European future of the region. The 23rd International Youth Conference “European Values for the Future for SEE Region” aims to track and evaluate the achievements made toward fostering youth empowerment, democracy-building, human rights, and sustainable development in the SEE region.
The conference will bring together 58 participants from countries of the SEE region (North Macedonia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Montenegro, Italy, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey) and guests from youth organizations partners from Germany, France and Poland in the role of mentors due to the successful endeavors in their reconciliation processes.
This year’s agenda includes bold sessions on co-creating regional change through Living Labs, and amplifying youth voices in the digital age. In addition to promoting regional cooperation and addressing youth unemployment, political disillusionment, and digital transformation, this year’s conference will focus on how far we’ve come and what concrete steps are needed to accelerate action. Please see the attached draft agenda for more details about the conference.
If you are a young person interested in these topics, between the age of 18 – 35 and have an evidenced commitment to delivering positive change in the region, we invite you to APPLY NOW and join us in this groundbreaking experience!
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out!
