The young generation is the proactive part of the global society. We, the young people, are interested in planning and shaping our own future as well as the future of next generations.

- community involvement
- sustainability
- security
- responsibility
- respect for family, traditions and heritage of the past
- spirituality

- intercultural and intergenerational dialogue
Therefore, we define our priorities as follows:
to create a platform for promotion of the “Youth Time” movement, its values and principles as stated above
to promote awareness among the youth concerning global challenges
to encourage active, open and equal dialogue among youth worldwide
to facilitate the process of sharing knowledge, experience and values between generations
