Municipal Youth Forum 2025: Young people from Chisinau define their European path
09 April 2025
On April 12, 2025, Chisinau will host the Municipal Youth Forum, an essential event for the future of young people in the capital. Organized by the Chisinau Municipal Youth Centre and the General Directorate of Education, Youth and Sport, under the aegis of the Chisinau City Hall, the forum is entitled “Young People in the European Course: Opportunities, Challenges and Active Involvement”. The event will take place at the Urban Business Center, starting at 10:00.
The Forum brings to the forefront topical issues for young people, structured in four main areas:
- European education and mobility – exchange programs, scholarships, Erasmus+ and funding opportunities;
- Employability and entrepreneurship – European support for developing professional skills and integrating young entrepreneurs into the labor market;
- Civic participation and democracy – the role of young people in decision-making and the promotion of European values;
- Social challenges and local solutions – youth involvement in the sustainable development of the municipality.
The event will bring together experts, representatives of local authorities, youth organizations and international guests, giving participants the opportunity to actively contribute to the discussions and participate in workshops.
Prior to the Forum, young people from Chisinau are invited to complete the Municipal Survey on Identifying the Needs of Young People, which runs from March 14 to April 5, 2025. This annual survey is organized by the Chisinau City Hall, the General Directorate of Education, Youth and Sport and the Chisinau Municipal Youth Centre, with the aim of identifying the real challenges and needs of young people aged 14 to 35.
Why is this survey important?
- It helps to develop effective public policies tailored to the needs of young people;
- It helps to develop personalized initiatives in education, career, health, culture and leisure;
- Makes young people active partners in local public administration;
- Gives a clear picture of areas where more support and resources are needed.
The results of the survey will be presented at the Municipal Youth Forum, helping to set strategic directions for the future. The form can be filled in online at:
