Youth Voices!

2026

I was asked to create the logo and visual identity (colors, fonts, illustrations, photography style) for the EU-funded Youth Voices! project. The project has participants from Austria, Finland, North Macedonia, Portugal and Slovenia. I decided to base the visuals on the hand-drawn speech bubble shapes. The visual identity strongly expresses youth as active agents, not as passive beneficiaries. It emphasizes expression, connection, and action, showing that well-being and citizenship grow through being heard, supported, and involved.

The Youth Voices! project focuses on strengthening the quality of youth work with a comprehensive and innovative methodology covering two horizontal themes: mental health and active citizenship. The project strengthens the competences of youth workers, brings about digital transformation, and raises the profile and recognition of youth work. Youth work is becoming a trend among young people, improving their well-being, strengthening their resilience and participation in democratic processes, and connecting the EU with young people. The key result is an innovative methodology for youth work in the field of mental health and active citizenship, co-created with young people and youth work actors.
