Lviv received European Youth Capital-2025 award

The title European Youth Capital-2025 was awarded to Lviv.

This was reported on the city council's official Facebook page.

It is noted that the jury of the international competition in the Albanian city of Tirana declared Lviv the youth capital of Europe 2025.

It is known that Lviv joined the competition on February 21, just three days before the full-scale invasion.

European Youth Forum board member Tom Mathew said: "This is the first time a European Youth Capital has won the title while its country is at war. Despite the challenges, Lviv has presented a detailed plan full of hope and aspirations. We share this hope with the young people people of Lviv, and we will be close to them when they rebuild their country."

The European Youth Capital is a title awarded by the European Youth Forum designed to empower young people, boost youth participation and strengthen European identity in our cities.

Each year, a new European city is given the chance to showcase its innovative ideas, projects and activities that aim to raise up young voices and bring a new youth perspective to all aspects of city life.

Many more, by simply applying to the title, experience innovative youth-focus initiatives taking place.

From public transport and infrastructure, to cultural and educational programmes and democratic policy-making, the European Youth Capital title invites cities across the continent to rethink how they engage with and include young people.
