On 21 October 2026, at 13:00 CET, the online Youth Living Labs Final Conference, titled “Building the Future of Youth Employment through Open Innovation”, will take place as part of the European project Youth Living Labs, co-funded by the European Union.

What needs to change to make entering the job market easier for young people?

This event brings together young people, youth organisations, project partners and stakeholders to explore the challenges of youth employment and share experiences and ideas developed through the Youth Living Labs project.

Throughout the conference, participants will discover the project’s main results, hear experiences from young people across five countries, and learn how collaboration and open innovation have been used to address real-world challenges.

The programme will also feature a policy dialogue on youth employment, exploring how the lessons learned can inform future approaches and initiatives, as well as a discussion on the sustainability and replication of the Living Labs model.

The event is designed for young people, students, youth workers, educators, organisations, policymakers and anyone interested in the future of youth employment.
