On June 2025 the YOUNGSDG partners gathered in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain for an Evaluation Workshop hosted by Consulta Europa. The meeting offered a key opportunity to review progress, share experiences and agree on the next milestones.
Project partners’ representatives from Consulta Europa (Spain), YouthX (Germany) and BILGEMDER (Türkiye), gathered for a workshop that provided a constructive space for dialogue and collaboration. Through team-building and strategy sessions, partners revisited their contributions, considered participant feedback and aligned on future steps to deliver results and meaningful learning experiences.
The evaluation also provided an opportunity to review and endorse two cornerstone resources already completed—the YOUNGSDG Methodology Handbook and a practical SDG Training Guide for youth workers—which will serve as the foundation for the project’s upcoming activities.
The second half of the project now begins with several events already in sight.
On 8–9 July YouthX will lead an online Civil Public Service Announcement campaign. Over two practical sessions, young people will use tools such as Canva and Powtoon to create posters, short videos and social-media clips that present the Sustainable Development Goals in a fresh, creative, youth-friendly way.
In early September partner representatives and selected young people will travel to Berlin for a three-day bootcamp. The programme will combine SDG basics, hands-on labs and a design-thinking exercise in which teams develop projects to implement in their own communities, strengthening leadership, creativity and advocacy skills.
Between late 2025 and early 2026 each partner will host a two-day national symposium. These events will bring together young citizens, teachers, civil-society groups and local authorities to share project results and build further cooperation around the SDGs.
The project will conclude in June 2026 with a final conference in Muğla, Türkiye, organised by BILGEMDER. Partners, policy-makers and young changemakers will review achievements and discuss how to keep the momentum alive.
