Challenge and goals
The main goal of the UAnited Hackathon is to inspire the development of innovative, practical solutions that create future opportunities for youth and promote mental well-being through education and community engagement.
The event aims to generate ideas that can be scaled or implemented by local organisations to support young people in Luxembourg and across Europe who have been affected by war and displacement. By combining creative teamwork with expert mentorship, participants will explore ways to strengthen mental health support systems, reduce social and educational inequalities, and build inclusive learning environments.
As an outcome, the hackathon seeks not only to produce concrete project concepts but also to empower youth with new skills, confidence, and motivation to continue building positive social impact in their communities.
The Challenge is part of the EU-funded project UAnited (Fostering youth empowerment for Ukraine through open innovation, https://uanited.org/).
