Youth Voices
Youth Voices | Dele Jove BCN | Youth Organization & Social Projects in Barcelona
Introduction
At Dele Jove BCN, we believe that young people are not only the leaders of tomorrow but also powerful voices of today. Our mission is to create spaces where youth can express themselves, share their ideas, and actively shape the communities they live in. Through Youth Voices, we amplify perspectives that are often overlooked, ensuring that young people in Barcelona are heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful change.
Why Youth Voices Matter
Young people bring energy, creativity, and unique perspectives to the table. Their voices matter because they:
-
Reflect lived experiences – capturing the realities of growing up in diverse social, cultural, and economic contexts.
-
Challenge norms – offering fresh ideas and innovative solutions to social challenges.
-
Inspire action – motivating peers, communities, and policymakers to think differently.
-
Shape the future – decisions made today impact the opportunities available for youth tomorrow.
By highlighting youth voices, Dele Jove BCN nurtures civic engagement and builds a more inclusive society.
Platforms for Expression
We provide multiple platforms for young people to express themselves and contribute to positive change:
-
Workshops and Forums – spaces where youth discuss issues like climate change, mental health, education, and equality.
-
Creative Arts Projects – using music, theater, photography, and digital media to amplify voices in powerful, artistic ways.
-
Youth-Led Campaigns – initiatives designed and driven by young people to address local and global issues.
-
Community Dialogues – bringing youth and policymakers together to ensure their ideas influence real decisions.
These platforms encourage active participation and ensure that youth voices are not just heard but also acted upon.
Stories of Impact
1. Environmental Action
A group of high school students led a climate awareness campaign through Dele Jove BCN. By organizing clean-up events and hosting educational workshops, they mobilized hundreds of community members and sparked ongoing environmental projects in their neighborhoods.
2. Mental Health Awareness
Young advocates collaborated to launch a peer-to-peer mental health initiative, creating safe spaces where students could talk openly about stress, anxiety, and resilience. Their voices helped reduce stigma and promoted better support in schools.
3. Cultural Inclusion
Through art and storytelling projects, immigrant youth shared their experiences of adaptation and identity. These stories not only built understanding within the community but also highlighted the richness of Barcelona’s cultural diversity.
Building Leadership Through Youth Voices
Every project supported by Dele Jove BCN helps young people grow as leaders. By taking ownership of initiatives, youth gain skills in:
-
Public speaking and communication.
-
Teamwork and collaboration.
-
Problem-solving and critical thinking.
-
Advocacy and civic responsibility.
These experiences prepare them to become active citizens who contribute meaningfully to society.
A Community That Listens
At Dele Jove BCN, we recognize that amplifying youth voices requires more than just giving them a stage—it requires communities, institutions, and policymakers who are ready to listen and act. We advocate for stronger partnerships between youth and decision-makers to ensure that their insights shape the future of Barcelona.
