Youth Campaign “My Europe My Future”

Young people are a vital force behind Georgia’s European future and among its strongest supporters. EU programmes in Georgia offer young people a wide range of opportunities in education, mobility, entrepreneurship, innovation, volunteering, culture, environmental protection, and civic engagement.

Launched on International Youth Day, the “My Europe, My Future” campaign brings together stories from young people across Georgia, highlighting the opportunities the European Union has been creating in the country for more than 30 years. This support helps young people shape their own futures while contributing to the development of Georgia’s European future.

Europe is not simply a place. It is an opportunity to learn, create, grow, travel and shape your future.

Every day, thousands of young people in Georgia are turning these opportunities into reality.

Youth For Social Change

“Stereotypes only create barriers.”- young people are saying it loud and clear.

“Youth for Social Change” is an initiative of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), implemented in the regions of Georgia since 2020 with the support of the European Union. The initiative aims to strengthen young people’s knowledge, skills, and opportunities, empowering them to become agents of change and use their ideas and initiatives to build a more equal, sustainable, and inclusive society.

Strengthening young people’s knowledge and skills

Through the EU- funded SKYE NET project implemented by World Vision Georgia, 60 young entrepreneurs from across Georgia received training in social entrepreneurship and business. Mariam was among the 10 winners who secured funding and resources to turn their ideas into businesses that create lasting benefits for their local communities.
