On July 9–10, 2025, Fondazione Toscana Sostenibile had the pleasure of presenting the EU4YOUTH2ACTproject at the TVET Alliance Summit in Ancona, hosted by the Skillman Network.
Skillman is an international network focused on reshaping skills development in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world. Its mission is to build strong partnerships that foster innovation, digitalization, and sustainable practices in education and employment.
At this high-level summit, FTS led an interactive workshop where we shared the key outcomes and goals of EU4YOUTH2ACT, an Erasmus+ KA220 project that empowers young people to participate actively in social and political life. By encouraging storytelling, civic engagement, and grassroots initiatives, the project aims to transform youth from passive observers into active changemakers.
Our session focused on practical ways educators, youth workers, and institutions can use the project’s tools and resources to involve youth in local and European-level democratic processes. We also invited participants to exchange experiences and build synergies for future cooperation.
We warmly thank the Skillman Network, Paolo Sospiro (CEO of EUInnova and Director of EUAbout, Brussels), and Prof. Donato Iacobucci (Università Politecnica delle Marche) for the opportunity to take part as active members of this dynamic and forward-thinking community.
