Baltic Youth Waves for Democracy 2025

A Regional Youth Initiative Linking Policy, Participation and Digital Innovation

26.10.2025 - 30.10.2025 / 12:00 - 12:00 Uhr

In the lead-up to the EUSBSR Annual Forum 2025 on 26–30 October 2025 in Gdańsk/Sopot, Poland and the BSSSC Annual Conference 2025, the Baltic Youth Waves for Democracy will bring together young change makers from across the Baltic Sea Region to co-create a forward-looking vision for democracy, security, and cooperation in the digital age.

This initiative builds upon the outcomes of the CBSS Youth Ministerial on Digitalisation, draws from the ideas developed at the #b_hack Hackathon 2025 in Lübeck, and aligns with the thematic priorities of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR).

Preparatory Webinars | September–October 2025

To create space for youth learning and idea exchange, a series of 5 evening webinars will be held with contributions from experts and policymakers. Each session will explore critical topics for the region’s democratic and digital future. The exact schedule will be published during summer 2025.

On-Site Programme | 26–30 October 2025

The main programme will take place across Gdańsk and Sopot, alongside the BSSSC Annual Conference and the EUSBSR Annual Forum.

A Collective Youth Contribution to Regional Policy

The outcomes of the Baltic Youth Waves initiative will be compiled into a Baltic Sea Youth Declaration 2025, offering concrete ideas for all Policy Areas of the EUSBSR and key stakeholders like the BSSSC, CBSS, and Interreg projects. The paper will incorporate results from the [#b_hack] Hackathon 2025, ensuring an inclusive, co-creative process shaped by youth across formats.
