A transformative new mobile platform for youth advocacy, skills development, and networking
The AU-EU Youth Voices Lab – Power of the Collective, a four-year programme co-funded by the European Union, has officially launched the AU-EU Youth Voices Lab App—an all-in-one mobile solution designed to amplify youth voices, enhance cross-continental collaboration, and support inclusive youth engagement across Africa and Europe.
Developed by Youthmakers Hub in partnership with leading youth and development organisations, this app was co-created by young people, for young people, with the goal of building youth-responsive societies through digital innovation, peer-to-peer learning, and global connectivity.
What Is the AU-EU Youth Voices Lab App?
The app serves as a digital hub for young leaders, offering tools to connect, collaborate, learn, and lead. Over 10,000 youth across Africa and Europe participated in the app’s development, shaping its design through in-app surveys, feedback, and testing. This co-creation process ensures the platform remains responsive to the real needs of its users.
Whether you’re seeking to develop leadership skills, access youth training resources, or build partnerships across continents, this app offers a centralised space for action and impact.
