NTB aims to redefine the night-time as a space for larger and stronger youth inclusion, participation, and innovation. By training 45 young people and supporting them to design and test up prototypes based on participatory research conducted with 250+ youth, the project tackles social isolation, builds cross-sector collaboration, and creates transferable tools that other youth and stakeholders in student cities across Europe can use to strengthen youth engagement in cultural and civic life.

NTB will conduct participatory research with 280+ young people and stakeholders, train 45 youth to design nine proposals, and support up to nine prototypes engaging at least 300 young participants. Activities include collaboration with cultural and municipal actors, dissemination through a youth-designed digital platform, a guidebook, and presentations at major cultural events in Denmark, Sweden, and Iceland.

NTB will empower diverse youth to gain civic and entrepreneurial competences by shaping inclusive night-time initiatives that enable alternative forms of participation beyond traditional nightlife. Key stakeholders will benefit from tested methods to engage underrepresented groups, fostering social innovation in their ecosystems. The partners will strengthen their capacity to link research, training, and practice, and produce transferable models to re-imagine youth participation across Europe.
