Designing a Harmonious Intercultural City
You-Topia puts young people at the heart of
envisioning better societies. It's a creative play on
"Utopia" where the city participants design is not an
abstract ideal, but a collective dream shaped by
their identities, values, and lived experiences.
Through the Consensus Methodology, 10 young
people from Egypt and Italy collaborate to address
societal challenges and foster intercultural
harmony.
