The Innovative Thinking Lab Series is a participatory, design-based training format that empowers youth leaders to explore complex societal challenges collaboratively. The Labs Series includes two optional Labs:

1. The first Lab “Youth Movements in Times of Political Polarisation” will take place in Timisoara, Romania, between the 11th - 15th of February, 2026.

2. The second Lab “Fake news, Digital and Media Literacy” will take place in Paris, France between the 26th - 30th of March, 2026.

About the event

Organised as a joint Voices of Change project initiative between the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) and the Erasmus Student Network (ESN), funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, the Labs brings together passionate youth and experts from across Europe to strengthen cross-sectoral collaboration, and design real-world initiatives relevant to Youth Work. 

The Labs function as learning and co-creation ecosystems: participants investigate real challenges faced by youth movements, exchange experiences across diverse contexts, and collaboratively design solutions or prototypes (frameworks, tools, campaigns, or guidelines).

Each Lab blends critical reflection, creative exploration, and applied innovation, resulting in both personal growth and tangible outputs that can inform organisational strategies and educational practices.

Common aim & objectives:

• Deepen understanding of the Lab’s core theme and its relevance to youth organisations.

• Strengthen critical thinking, reflection, and ethical reasoning in addressing complex social issues.

• Promote collective intelligence through peer exchange and cross-context learning.

• Equip participants with design thinking tools and participatory methods for innovation.

• Facilitate dialogue between participants and external experts to connect practice with policy and theory.
