What the Fun! is an innovative project designed to foster a dynamic and supportive environment for collaborative learning and creative expression among young people, youth workers, educators and youth leaders. The project addresses the growing challenge of declining motivation and engagement of young poeple in meaningful leisure activities. At its core, What the Fun! aims to raise awareness about quality leisure opportunities, create a digital tool to connect young people with these spaces, and enhance their participation in enriching activities.

engagement and digital innovation. It aims not only to create a unique platform for leisure and learning but also to empower young people to have a say in the activities and spaces that matter to them.
