As the Speak Out campaign draws to a close, one message rings louder than ever: young people don’t need permission to lead change—just the space to be heard.

Over the past two months, Speak Out has amplified youth voices from across Europe—voices that challenge stereotypes, confront misinformation, and reimagine what civic engagement can look like in the digital age. From training sessions and community dialogues to street-level reflections and creative campaigns, the project has empowered a new generation of changemakers to speak up and take action.

At the heart of Speak Out is a simple but powerful question:
What if the future of Europe wasn’t only written by politicians, but also by you?

The campaign has shown that youth are not just the future of Europe—they are its present. Whether they’ve studied abroad or never left their hometowns, young people across the continent are shaping a more inclusive, democratic, and united Europe, starting from the local level.

Throughout the campaign, several key messages have guided our journey:

• 💬 From DMs to Democracy
• 📢 We’ll Make Our Seat at the Table
• 🧠 Myths Off, Mics On
• 🌍 Your Europe, Your Rules
• ✊ Be the Change, IRL and URL

These aren’t just slogans—they’re calls to action. And while this phase of the campaign may be ending, the movement continues. The power of speaking out doesn’t stop with a project. It lives on in communities, in conversations, and in every young person who chooses to show up, speak up, and shape the future.

So what now?
Keep talking. Keep questioning. Keep showing up.
Because the conversation about Europe’s future isn’t over until every voice is included.
