The document discusses a youth program called "Youth in Action" that brings together African and European youth to address unemployment. It provides quotes from various youth participants discussing what they learned from the program, including gaining work skills and new perspectives by interacting with youth from other cultures. Participation in the program helped empower some youth to take leadership roles in their communities and start new projects addressing unemployment. Outreach activities from the program reached over 1,000 youth across multiple countries.
