What is Young People and Public Health?
Young People and Public Health is a forum where young people come together to discuss issues that matter to them, build connections and take part in a lively and creative programme.
The conference focuses on open dialogue, participation and positive experiences through workshops, talks and time together.
The conference has been held every year since 2009 and is supported by Erasmus+.
Who is the conference for?
The conference is for all young people aged 15–25. It does not matter whether you are on a youth council, in a sports club or neither – everyone is welcome.
The aim is to create a space for joy, participation and growth. Participants get the chance to develop themselves, get to know others and gain tools that help them influence their own lives and the community around them.
