iLEGEND III: The University on Youth and Development

The iLEGEND III University on Youth and Development (UYD) is taking place from 18 to 23 September 2023 in Mollina (Spain) on the theme: Young People, Peace and Climate change.

The UYD is an international youth event organised by the North South Centre of the Council of Europe for more than twenty years, where a number of youth-led and youth-oriented organisations have the possibility to run their own activities (trainings, seminars, board meetings, etc.) within a dynamic and participatory context which encourages networking, cooperation, and peer-to-peer education.

Since 2000 the UYD represents an international hub for meetings, youth advocacy and exchange of good practices. It gathers, for one week, hundreds of young people, youth workers, decision makers, experts from the field and institutional representatives, providing them all with a space to meet, debate, build their capacities and cooperate on youth policy issues in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals.

The annual theme is “Young people, peace and climate change”.

The annual theme is the thread that connects all the activities taking place in the framework of the Summer Universities and it will be explored during the plenary sessions engaging every participant of the event.
