The creative contest organized by the Veneto Region as part of the 2021–2027 Cohesion Policy is now open to young people between the ages of 18 and 29. Participants are invited to create audiovisual content (videos, podcasts, or vodcasts) on the themes of territorial development and the future of Europe.
Deadline: July 31, 2026
CONTEXT:
The European Union’s Cohesion Policy aims to reduce disparities between regions, strengthen the social and economic fabric, and ensure equal opportunities for citizens. It funds concrete initiatives that impact daily life: education, vocational training, innovation, the environment, mobility, and social inclusion.
Young people are the ones affected by the decisions made today, yet they are rarely asked to envision the future they desire. This creative contest invites them to become storytellers and interpreters of cohesion policies, not only to describe what they are doing today, but also to reflect on the role they should play tomorrow.
