International Youth Think Tank

Welcome to International Youth Think Tank (IYTT)! We are a unique think tank that brings together young people from Europe with decision-makers in various fields, including industry, academia, culture, politics, and civil society. Our mission is to inspire and empower young individuals to lead the way for a more democratic future. At IYTT, we believe in the values of freedom and equality, and we strive to democratize where there is no democracy and renew where democracy is not working effectively.

We achieve this through the transformation of young activists' instincts into concrete proposals and by involving them in existing democracy initiatives. Our approach combines scholarly discourse with meaningful connections to people's voices and day-to-day struggles. We energize democracy through conversations with strangers in the streets and by harnessing the transformative power of artistic expression.

Our efforts have resulted in impactful reports, policy briefs, a democracy handbook, the play Conversations with Strangers, and the art exhibition Expressions of Empowerment. Join us in our quest for an open and democratic world, where active citizenship is valued and nurtured
