“To me, flourishing should be a reality to everyone who has got the gift of being young. As a first-generation university professional in my family, I have experienced firsthand how opportunities for youth can transform not only individuals lives but also communities, hopes and social perspectives. One scholarship changed my life when I was 16, another one at 20 allowed me to study abroad and understand how different youth life could be when social needs are well met by government and community institutions. This is why I am convinced working towards more opportunities for youth wellbeing is the way. Being young is unique and special, but sometimes it could be lonely, challenging and a bit hopeless, especially when coming from vulnerable backgrounds, I have seen that in my friends, in the youth organizations I have worked with, in studies and realities. We need to take action now and transfer this knowledge to the development of better policies, support networks and grassroots initiatives for youth. My experience working with young people has shown me the transformative power of education, social support, and community awareness are key to fostering youth well-being. I admire the European Youth organization because of their commitment to support youth initiatives, promoting youth development, cultural enrichment through cultural and educational exchange, and foremost, their dedication to increase youth participation in politics and legislation. I advocate for youth wellbeing because deep in my heart, I am certain that the young minds are wild and brave enough to show the world how our voices, demands and desires matter in this emerging landscape, and that is possible only by the union of a greater youth global community.”
