Theme: Unique and United – Discovering Our Superpowers for Inclusive Communities
In a world that is increasingly globalised, young people live with greater intercultural access than ever before – in relationships, friendships, culture, and communication. This brings rich opportunities, but also the risk of losing our individuality in mass culture. Youth Unify Camp 2026 invites young leaders from across Europe to step into a space where every individual is seen, valued, and celebrated as uniquely created, while learning how to build stronger, more inclusive communities together.
Please find the full concept document here.
