Final Conference: Ambassadors of Community Development marked the end of the Youth Activation Program 4.0!

The 4.0 edition of the Youth Activation Program, one of the most ambitious projects dedicated to young people, came to an end with a festive conference entitled Ambassadors of Community Development. The event, organized at the Buiucani Youth Center, celebrated the active involvement and positive impact that young people have had in the development of their communities.

A central moment of the conference was the presentation of the projects developed by the participating initiative groups during the Summer Academy: Empowering Initiative Groups. Young people shared their experiences from the implementation process, the challenges encountered and lessons learned, demonstrating that their ideas can transform local communities. From green initiatives to social and cultural programs, each project reflected the passion and creativity of the participants.

As a token of appreciation for their efforts, all participants received diplomas and the most committed participants were rewarded with special prizes. These moments underlined the importance of dedication and encouraged young people to continue to be agents of change.

The event was supported by several partners who contributed to its success:

• 7Spice delighted participants with delicious pies.
• ArtPoligraf provided quality promotional materials.
• Luceafărul Theater provided tickets to the participants.
• Buiucani Youth Center hosted the event, offering a modern and friendly space.

Youth Activation Program 4.0 was implemented by AO “International Youth Association”, with financial support from the National Youth Agency, through the Annual Grants Program for Youth Organizations 2024.

This program was more than just a series of activities – it was a journey of personal and professional development, an opportunity for learning and connecting, which opened new perspectives for the young people involved.

Organizers and participants look optimistically to the future, ready to expand the impact of these initiatives and inspire new generations of community leaders.
