What Young People Want is an initiative aimed at gathering the perspectives, opinions, and aspirations of young people across the world. The goal of this campaign is to create a platform for young people to have their voices heard and to bring attention to the issues that matter most to them. With this information, we aim to create a better understanding of the needs and priorities of young people, which can inform policy and decision-making processes.
