On 20 June, Riga will host an event where young people won’t be in the background – they’ll be at the centre of attention!

🤩 The ‘Together for Youth Leadership and Well-being’ festival and conference will bring together young people, families, organisations, decision-makers, artists and anyone who cares about young people’s voices, opportunities and wellbeing.

📍 Riga, 117a Vienības gatve

📅 20 June 2026

On the main stage:

🎤 discussion ‘Young People: NOW’ – on participation, opportunities and the role of young people today;

💬 stories from young people’s own experiences;

🧠 discussion: “Participation starts with wellbeing” – on how young people’s mental, emotional and social wellbeing influences their engagement;

🎶 musical performances throughout the day.

🙏🏼 The event site will also feature organisation tents, sports activities, an RFS zone, creative workshops, opportunities for young people, talks, socialising and plenty of energy.

😎 We’ll be joined by youth organisations, representatives of student councils, active young people, and those who make decisions on a daily basis and work on youth issues. This is an opportunity not just to listen, but also to get involved, ask questions, try things out, meet people and be inspired.

👌🏻 This is a day when you can discover new opportunities, meet like-minded people, ask important questions and feel that young people’s voices are truly being heard. Loudly. Powerfully. For real. 🔥

👉🏻 Bring your friends along and let’s meet on 20 June in Riga!
