A look back on #Road2Benalmadena and what lies ahead
A Campaign Rooted in Purpose
Launched on 7th April 2025, the #Road2Benalmadena campaign has spanned almost an entire month, connecting youth workers, NGOs, and European partners in a shared mission to amplify the role of youth work in society. With a strategic build-up to the culminating event in Benalmádena, Spain, the campaign aimed to:
- Showcase 10 years of PRISMA’s achievements
- Encourage reflection and dialogue among our community
- Engage partners in co-creating the future of youth work
- Mark the milestone anniversary with a forward-looking action plan
What Happened Along the Way?
Throughout the campaign, we spotlighted the evolution of PRISMA’s work, hosted online discussions in a webinar, shared testimonials from youth workers and partners, and brought visibility to innovative practices across our network. Each story and activity served as a step forward on the road to Benalmádena, building momentum toward our culminating seminar.
