About the Programme
Calling Youth Advocates with Love for Dublin!
Are you passionate about creating a smart and sustainable future? Do you want to be a voice for your community and help shape the cities of tomorrow? Join the ‘Academy of the Near Future Youth Advisory Panel’—a dynamic and engaging programme designed for 15 to 18-year-olds who are eager to lead, advocate, and make a real impact on their environment.

Through a series of workshops, reflection sessions, and a final hands-on project, you will be able to express your ideas and contribute to creating a smart and sustainable city while proposing a solution that will be considered for the regeneration project in Dublin.
