The Future Fairs, the flagship events of YOUTHopia campaign, bring together young individuals in each of the five regions partners of the DG-Regio funded project, bearing the same name.

These fairs serve as platforms for beneficiaries of Cohesion Policy to share their stories, inspire the next generation, and foster personal and professional networks. By organizing the fairs in conjunction with popular local events, the campaign maximizes impact and enlarge its network of supporters.

Through engaging discussions, networking opportunities with local stakeholders and encounters with representatives from the regions, attendees discover new opportunities available to them thanks to Cohesion Policy and other EU-funded programmes, gain inspiration, and build connections.

The Future Fairs empower young citizens to shape their destinies, fostering personal and professional growth. From urban to rural communities, these fairs celebrate unity, collaboration, and the boundless potential of young minds, paving the way for a brighter and more inclusive future.

Let’s delve into the captivating stories that unfolded within the five project regions!




The stories were also presented at AER General Assembly 2023, with a printed exhibition guided by our our super-engaged YOUTHopia consortium.

Check out our YOUTHopia website for more opportunities and engaging content!

The Youthopia Project is co-funded by the Directorate General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO) of the European Commission.
