Postcards for Inclusion was designed and led by youth who recognized the urgent need for greater connection and inclusivity in today’s societies. By engaging directly with their peers, the project created a space where diverse youth voices were amplified. Through creative workshops at EYE2025, participants learned digital storytelling techniques and transformed their experiences and ideas into “digital postcards.” These postcards offered fresh perspectives on inclusion, diversity, and global citizenship, inspiring dialogue and action among event attendees.
