Because Silence Isn’t Sustainable | Back Ideas Shaped by Young People, for Young People
Supporting this initiative empowers young people to tackle environmental challenges in their communities through research, dialogue, and action.
Your contribution will amplify their voices, foster collaboration with key institutions, and bring three regionally significant issues to light—positioning youth as active drivers of a greener future.

LOCAL | Identifying Priorities
NextGen participants will propose pressing environmental issues—such as waste management, pollution, biodiversity loss, or climate change—that deserve public attention.
FOCUS | Regional Selection
Three priority issues will be chosen based on relevance, impact potential, and community concern, ensuring a focused, collaborative approach.
YOUTH | Research & Dialogue
Youth teams will conduct research, including interviews and environmental mapping, while engaging in public discussions with local institutions and civil society.
ENGAGE | Campaign & Outreach
Teams will create strategic awareness campaigns using digital and traditional media—videos, infographics, events, and social media—to drive public engagement.
COMMUNITY | Action & Visibility
Each campaign will include local actions, such as clean-ups, workshops, and eco-installations, to inspire participation and deepen impact.
DIALOGUE | Institutional Engagement
The project will connect youth with decision-makers, positioning them as partners in sustainability efforts, not just advocates.
OUR STORY | Summit 2026
The initiative will culminate at the next ESG Adria Summit, showcasing the three selected stories, celebrating youth leadership, and inspiring continued action.
