The first thing that we have to handle when we want to talk about Youth is INVISIBILITY. This is at the same time a need, but also a problem of Youth Discrimination.

There are other terms and definitions such as Youth empowerment or Youth engagement, but they tend to be presented in the positive way, which is the direction in which we want to go.
