What does it mean to be a young person navigating a world shaped by #AI, algorithms, and disinformation? That question brought young people from Cyprus, France, Greece, Ireland, Romania, and Scotland together in #Belfast.
Our #YouthConnect programme exists because the UK's place in the world is built on the relationships it creates across the globe.
When young people from #Europe come together to tackle shared challenges: digital citizenship, data ethics, the business models driving social media, they don't just learn. They build the mutual understanding, trust, and networks that sustain long-term ties between nations.
