NextGen EU Leaders
Content
A youth-led space where young people share ideas, shape leadership tools, and build skills that matter!
NextGen EU Leaders is a youth-led group where young people take an active role in shaping a youth leadership training resource pack. Through interactive workshops, discussions, and creative activities, participants share their perspectives, experiences, and ideas on what makes effective youth leadership today.
Members will explore key leadership skills such as teamwork, communication, confidence, inclusion, and active participation. They will contribute ideas on the knowledge, tools, and approaches that emerging youth leaders need. Their insights will directly shape the content and format of the training pack, ensuring it reflects the real needs and voices of young people across Ireland.
By participating in NextGen EU Leaders, young people will develop practical skills in collaboration, critical thinking, communication, and consultation. They will gain hands-on experience in expressing their views, listening to others, and working together to co-create meaningful resources for future youth leaders.

Content
Understanding yourself is the first step to unlocking your full potential. Your emotions, strengths, weaknesses, values, and motivations are like the control panel of your life—they guide your decisions, shape your actions, and influence how you relate to others. When you know what drives you, what challenges you, and what truly matters to you, you can make choices that feel right, grow from setbacks, and build meaningful connections. Self-awareness isn’t just about thinking—it’s about feeling, reflecting, and acting with intention. By exploring who you are inside, you’re not just learning about yourself—you’re learning how to thrive in the world around you.
