Youth unemployment is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, but it is also an opportunity to innovate, grow, and lead. This Manifesto is a declaration of hope and a guide to action, designed for every young person ready to overcome the odds and build a fulfilling career.

This Manifesto was developed as part of the Erasmus+ project YANDA – Youth and Advocacy, by three groups of young people coming from Greece, Italy and Turkey who first participated in a comprehensive training course and later collaborated online to craft this collective vision.

In the face of uncertainty, resilience, skills, and a proactive mindset can turn obstacles into stepping stones. By mastering essential skills, utilizing the right tools, and taking strategic steps, you can shape your own destiny. Let this manifesto serve as your roadmap to success. Together, we can transform the job market and create opportunities—not just for ourselves, but for future generations.

The Manifesto has been written in English and translated by partners in Italian, Greek and Turkish
