Introducing the European Youth Capital Partner Cities
Three partner cities in the European Union in cooperation with the European Youth Capital network have been selected. The European Youth Capital is a title awarded by the European Youth Forum designed to empower young people, boost youth participation and strengthen European identity. Each year, a new European city is given the chance to showcase its innovative ideas, projects and activities that aim to raise up young voices and bring a new youth perspective to all aspects of city life.

Incubation Workshop
The project includes three capacity-building work-shops for youths led by Thai and European facilitators.
