Make a Difference

Helping the youth today, for better tomorrow

Welcome to the United Power of Youth (UPOY), a vibrant NGO rooted in Graz, Austria, since its inception in October 2022. At UPOY, our mission is to unite young people from Europe and the world, offering a platform to exchange knowledge and experiences across various domains. We are passionate about fostering intercultural exchanges and enabling mobility across EU and non-EU countries, paving the way for a more interconnected and understanding world.

Targeting the dynamic age group of 18 to 30, our aim is to elevate non-formal and informal educational experiences, promoting active engagement through diverse activities such as conferences, seminars, summer schools, training sessions, and workshops. Our foundation is built on the pillars of inclusion, quality, cooperation, excellence, creativity, and innovation, driving us to create impactful and meaningful experiences for all participants.

Despite being a nascent organization, UPOY is steered by founders with over a decade of combined expertise in project management and youth-centric initiatives. This rich background ensures we offer well-coordinated and effectively organized projects, aimed at nurturing today’s youth into tomorrow’s leaders of positive change.
Our dedication lies in specializing in the growth and education of young individuals, intending to launch projects across local, regional, and international stages. While we are yet to embark on our project journey, our goals are clear:

  • Facilitating intercultural dialogue and exchange.
  • Providing young people in Austria and beyond with access to non-formal learning opportunities.
  • Developing universally accessible online educational resources.
  • Employing non-formal learning techniques through a variety of workshops, training sessions, and summer schools.
  • Fostering the creative skills of the youth via art-centric workshops.
  • Promoting European values and enhancing mobility among the youth.
  • Creating and strengthening networks with youth organizations and professionals within Austria and Europe.
  • Advocating for sustainability and encouraging environmentally conscious living.
  • Enhancing the digital proficiency of young participants.

At UPOY, we are committed to empowering the youth, encouraging them to explore, learn, and contribute to a world marked by diversity, creativity, and innovation. Join us in our journey to shape a future where young individuals are at the forefront of fostering positive global changes.
