How can I better deal with the many challenges of our time? How can I help shape my city and region? How can young people be given more freedom in cities? How can decision-makers in the city and young people reach each other so that the concerns of young citizens can really be included?

The EDUC Youth Integration Lab (YIL) takes an in-depth look at these (and many more) questions. It moves from partner university to partner university, from EDUC city to EDUC city, focussing on different topics. Our ‘Lab’ is a test ground: foundations, universities, students and pupils come together. We open up the university and involve young people at an early stage. Our labs are designed to provide young people in our EDUC regions with tools that enable them to be active citizens and offer space for their ideas and questions. As always with EDUC, a mini-Europe comes together at every Youth Integration Lab because we invite participants from all EDUC countries.
