Last week in Timisoara, the seminar on supporting young people’s critical thinking in a digital age brought together participants, speakers, and partners for three days of discussion, workshops, and shared reflection.

From digital platforms and information disorder to AI, media literacy, and youth work practice, these days created space for exchange, learning, and new ideas for the road ahead.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this important conversation. 🤝

Check the outcomes on our website: https://go.coe.int/O4JDU

The Youth Partnership took part with a stand at the marketplace and a workshop on youth civic space. The session shared findings from our research on democracy and civic space and introduced a practical self-reflection tool for youth organisations with Gilda Isernia, one of the authors.

🧠 One in two young people in Europe experience mental health challenges.

Some of the factors affecting their well-being being include socio-economic status, job precarity or lack of financial stability, ongoing geopolitical conflicts, climate change, as well as digital transformation and increased social media use.

📘 Our new publication "Insights into youth mental health and well-being" provides an overview of existing policies and services, and highlights capacity-building opportunities for youth sector professionals.
