On 8–9 July 2025, the YOUNGSDG project held its Civil Public Service Announcement online event, bringing together young participants from across Europe for two days of interactive learning, creative digital production, and collective reflection.
The event was designed to strengthen youth engagement around the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), combining awareness-raising with practical digital tools and teamwork. Through a blend of group discussions, creative exercises, and collaborative design, participants explored how to communicate key global challenges in a way that is meaningful, personal, and action-oriented.
Throughout the two days, young people worked together to co-create posters, short animations, and messages that reflected their vision for a more sustainable future. Using accessible online tools such as Canva and Powton, they translated abstract global goals into concrete, visual narratives grounded in their own perspectives and local realities.
Beyond technical skills, the experience offered space for critical thinking and peer exchange. Participants reflected on their relationship with the SDGs, the impact they wish to see in the next decade, and how creativity can serve as a powerful tool for social change. The collaborative environment encouraged mutual support, active listening, and a shared sense of responsibility.
By the end of the event, participants had not only produced a series of original digital materials but also gained new skills in communication, digital design, and group collaboration—leaving with stronger confidence in their ability to take action for sustainability in their own communities.
