Youth Sounding Boards

Throughout August and September 2025, Youth Sounding Boards (YSBs) were successfully established across Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. More than 400 young people applied, and, following a review process carried out in close consultation with each country’s EU Delegation, 15 young changemakers per country were selected. Together, these new YSB members bring a rich diversity of perspectives and expertise spanning environment and climate action, human rights and democracy, communications, gender equality, and more.
