The 2nd KOZANI YOUTH FEST 2023, coordinated by GO Alive in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Western Macedonia Region, Kozani Chamber of Commerce, and the Municipality of Kozani, was a resounding success from October 20-22, 2023. The festival, celebrating the European Year of Skills, was held during the “time to move” Eurodesk campaign and aimed to enhance youth skills, promote lifelong learning, and foster digital and green growth. It offered interactive workshops, engaging talks, and networking opportunities, thanks to contributions from local institutions, businesses, and invaluable volunteers.
The Kozani Youth Fest 2023 featured an array of activities and workshops focused on upskilling, digital literacy, innovation, empowerment, and environmental sustainability. Highlights included forums on reskilling, discussions on digital skills, innovation in modern times, and youth empowerment through volunteering. Workshops ranged from nutrition, mental health, 3D printing, and recycling to sessions on finding one’s Ikigai, meditation, and effective feedback. The festival also hosted infokiosks, interactive labs on digital wellbeing, community empowerment, and sustainable living, alongside cultural and artistic engagements, all aimed at fostering skills, knowledge, and active participation among the youth.
This initiative empowered more than 500 young individuals and strengthened community ties among 15 organisations.
