KIYO envisions a world in which children and youth are protected from harm, where they can develop themselves to their full potential, where they can express themselves, are being heard and their voice is taken into account. We want children and youth to be able to take their future in their own hands.

KIYO develops quality learning environments that support youth in discovering and developing their talents and potential, becoming aware of their rights and being able to claim them, actively shaping their own future, and contributing to a more just and sustainable world.

Together with our local partners, we support the personal development of youth through inclusive theatre arts, radio programmes or social circus. We support quality education by building a school culture that embraces children's rights and focuses on youth participation.

We promote active citizenship of youth by connecting and inspiring them with other youth around the world.
