We are proud to contribute to the YOUth HUB project, ensuring young people’s voices are heard in shaping a healthier and more inclusive digital future.

36 youth voices. Six themes. One European story.

One of the central ideas behind YOUth HUB is simple: to understand young people’s digital lives, young people need to be part of the conversation.

Within the project, 36 peer narratives are being produced around six thematic areas connected to digital wellbeing.

Teenagers record the stories in their native languages, bringing different experiences, realities, and perspectives into the project.

These narratives are more than videos. They will become part of a wider learning environment, helping youth workers and young people start conversations about digital challenges from experiences that feel real and relatable.

Because meaningful youth education should not only speak to young people.

It should also listen to them.

Why do you think peer-to-peer stories can be powerful learning tools?

We are pleased to share that our team successfully participated in the Erasmus+ Training Course "Social Media Tools for Youth Empowerment" in Cervia, Italy. 🇮🇹✨

Throughout the training, we explored digital literacy, creative storytelling, and innovative social media tools that empower young people and strengthen youth work in the digital age.

On 17 June 2026, we brought these valuable insights back to our local community by organizing a dissemination session, sharing the knowledge, tools, and good practices gained during the mobility.

Together, we continue empowering young people through digital innovation, collaboration, and lifelong learning.

ASDA ry at Activity 5 of the NAIS Project in Eskilstuna, Sweden 🇸🇪

From 30 May to 4 June 2026, ASDA ry proudly participated in Activity 5 of the Nature Connection for Supporting Integration (NAIS) Project in Eskilstuna.

This inspiring training activity brought together youth workers and participants from Finland, Sweden, Poland, and Czechia to explore how nature-based approaches can support the integration, well-being, and social inclusion of young immigrants. Through experiential learning, outdoor activities, reflection, and intercultural exchange, participants strengthened their skills and gained practical tools for their daily youth work.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our hosts, Somaliska Riksförbundet i Sverige, for their excellent organization, warm hospitality, and the welcoming environment they created throughout the activity.

A special thank you to Danielle, Patrycja, and Paul for their dedication, professionalism, and valuable contributions to the success of the training. Your knowledge, energy, and commitment greatly enriched the learning experience for all participants.

We also thank all participants for their active engagement, openness, and willingness to share experiences and learn from one another. Together, we continue building stronger, healthier, and more inclusive communities through the power of nature.
