"Youth moves region - region moves youth" (07/2024 - 09/2027)

Against the backdrop of the Coal Regions Structural Strengthening Act and the Lusatia 2050 Development Strategy2 , the project promotes the participation of young people in structural change. By means of a variety of participation formats, pupils, students and trainees are to be given a better understanding of their region so that they identify more strongly with it and thus develop prospects for staying or returning. A region worth living in the border triangle D-CZ-PL is a European one and needs the perspective of young people. This is why the project focuses not only on the Lusatian mining district but also on the Neisse Euroregion in order to develop a cross-border understanding of the future with a view to structural change. Participation formats such as Youngster Agency, Future Camps/Productions, Future Guides and Future Congress actively involve the young generation in shaping the transformation processes. In doing so, they are making their own future opportunities visible in a shared living and working space in the Lusatia/Tri-border region. As a European coal-mining region, Lusatia and the border triangle should also become an attractive model region for sustainability in business, society and culture from the perspective of young people and thus become an expression of a successful Green Deal.
