Over the course of nearly three years, we had the pleasure of creating illustrations for a series of articles published by the Council of Europe – Youth Partnership. Their projects explored key topics in the youth work field and our challenge was to translate abstract research and theory into engaging visuals.
What made this experience truly special was not only the inspiring and insightful thematics, but also the creative journey it sparked. We visualised how young people deal with transitions and navigate life nowadays, compared to previous generations, shedding light on critical issues like financial literacy — an increasingly essential skill still overlooked in public education. Other topics were the need for mentorship in fostering an entrepreneurial mindset, the role of co-working spaces in the development of communities, the widening gap between employers and the workforce they seek and the struggle for appropriate housing for youth.
These themes are crucial in strengthening the youth work field, and we felt incredibly privileged to contribute to a deeper understanding through our work and visual creativity.
The illustrations have been published in several locations on: https://pjp-eu.coe.int/en/web/youth-partnership/
