Think Young: a unique success story in times of crisis
In this European Business Review dossier we put the spotlight on Think Young, an interesting think-tank: recent graduates and engaged students lobbying to make Europe a better place for young people; conducting research, surveys, conferences, documentaries on and about young people.
The goal of this sympathic and dynamic think-tank is to provide young Europeans with a platform where their voices can be heard, no matter what they say.
An interview with one of the founders, Andrea Gerosa, makes clear the background, the way of working (paperless!) and the impact of Think Young. Five articles written by young authors related to the think tank offer you a view of different subjects. Although opinions stated in these articles are those of the authors and do not represent the think tank, it is interesting, reading these articles, to find out they are inter-related. It gives a hint about the youth’s situation in Europe.
ThinkYoung’s philosophy is, the more opinions we hear the better the picture we will get of youth's views. European Business Review hopes that our readers appreciate this approach as much as we do.
