The 11th edition of Youth at the Top will take place on July 17 and 18 2025 (resp. flexible in the week from 14 July 2025 to 20 July 2025), throughout several Alpine and Carpathian protected areas and natural sites. Kids and teens are invited to join local events to take part in this international initiative. The event is the opportunity to raise awareness on nature conservation and preservation among the youngests. 

The event is focusing on the common theme "Our footprints in the Alps". It invites the young participants to explore different impacts humans have on the Alpine environment. Participants can dive into topics like the effects of outdoor activities on nature and wildlife or explore how human-induced climate change is transforming the Alps – impacting glaciers and permafrost as well as flora and fauna. There is also an opportunity to learn about the cultural landscape of the Alps, focusing on traditional pasture farming and land maintenance that have shaped the region for centuries. Organizers are encouraged to select their own focus areas, offering many more opportunities to explore how we interact with and shape the mountains.
