*Please note that a ‘Youth-led’ project refers to an initiative in which individuals under the age of 35 take a leading role or work in close collaboration with others, sharing responsibility for the project. The project must be initiated and managed either entirely by youth or in partnership with other organisations, with youth playing a central role throughout. Youth must take the lead or be meaningfully engaged at every stage of the project — from initiation and decision-making to planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation — not as supporting participants or through tokenistic involvement, but as key actors driving the project forward. Their involvement must have a direct impact on both the process and the outcomes.
