Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen
We are going to talk about the Youth Network Conference, which took place on Sunday 4 February 2024. The aim of the conference was to focus on today's young people.
The conference talks about the various topics raised in the questions submitted by young people online, covering subjects such as sport, the digital arts and social health.
She began by talking about sport, particularly paralympic sports (sports for people with reduced mobility or limb amputations). She describes what they do well, their main characteristics and the rules governing different sports. Next, health is discussed. In particular, eating disorders, with their general definition, different forms, causes and consequences. The conference also provides answers and solutions. The Erasmus+Sport project was then discussed in detail.
Secondly, the subject was art today, because in the 19th century we are facing a fairly impressive digital advance.
Following this, the subject of eating disorders in the art world is raised, because in today's world, young people want to have "a dream body". Just because they often see 'skinny' adults on TV, on social networks... solutions are proposed against this scourge and this part ends with the presentation of a company specialising in innovation in art.
In the third part, we see a presentation that aims to rethink young people, because it's important to think about them. The new generation is our future.
Fourthly, during this last part. Two projects were presented by two organisations. The first presentation simply tells the story of three generations, with the aim of "showing unity" between the generations.
After that, the presentation combined the nature and application of eco-psychology with the aim of developing motivation through multiple exercises.
Our proposal for 2025:
The evolution for 2025 would probably be to cut the video to make several with a single theme so that young people can watch and learn without having to spend a lot of time. We could also add a few explanatory videos to liven up the video and keep young people motivated and interested. All this while 'modernising' with the aim of being 'in touch' with today's young people. To 'modernise', we'd have to make short videos explaining the different subjects covered. All this is due to the expansion of new technologies.
The title we are thinking of for the 2025 conference would be "Young People and the World on the Move: Exploring the Future Together". The title suggests that young people are important players in the context of a changing world and that they have a crucial role to play in creating and navigating an ever-changing future.
Our impressions of an informative conference:
This conference impressed us with the subject of Paralympic sport, as we young people don't know much about these sports and their history. This conference opened our eyes to sport for people with disabilities. We were also amazed by all the new types of art that can be made thanks to digital advances and how digital technology can change our lives with great innovations such as artificial intelligence, immersive FPV and many others.
In conclusion, this conference allows young people to see the different doors that can be opened.
