Below you will find the most recent calls for contributions from the PolyCIVIS Research, Policy and Teaching Work Packages. ### Young Voices, Shared Futures: The Aix-Marseille Polycrisis Declaration How can Africa and Europe empower young people to navigate a world shaped by conflict, migration, climate change, and other interconnected crises? Fresh from the PolyCIVIS Network's June 2026 Final Conference, the **Aix-Marseille Polycrisis Declaration** brings together **10 recommendations** of African and European academics, stakeholders, and youth-focused experts. The Declaration recognizes young people not only as those affected by the polycrisis but also as key actors in peacebuilding, climate action, innovation, and social change. By promoting meaningful youth participation, inclusive governance, and support for youth-led initiatives, the Declaration presents a shared vision for building more resilient and sustainable societies across Africa and Europe. Read the Declaration and discover how youth agency can help shape responses to today's most pressing global challenges.

As the concluding gathering of the PolyCIVIS project after three years of collaboration, the conference will highlight the network’s major achievements in research, policy, teaching, and communication, while opening discussions on future cooperation and resilience-building across Euro-African contexts. The programme includes scientific sessions, policy discussions, pedagogical exchanges, cultural activities, and working meetings dedicated to addressing the complexity of today’s interconnected global challenges. Participants will also have the opportunity to explore the project’s key outcomes, including the edited volume *Facing the Polycrisis Together: Context and African-European Perspectives*, and to engage in collective reflections on sustainability, youth resilience, governance, climate change, migration, and peacebuilding.

From climate change and geopolitical instability to rising debt and the water–energy–food nexus, these briefs provide evidence-based insights and practical policy recommendations. They highlight the importance of stronger cooperation between Europe and Africa, exploring topics such as ocean governance, water management, economic vulnerability, and resilience to climate shocks.

With contributions from the research and policy work packages (WP2 and WP3), this session focused on leveraging existing courses and lessons from previous Blended Intensive Programs (BIPs) to develop a comprehensive interdisciplinary curriculum on polycrisis. The discussion also covered strategies for engaging students and forging external partnerships to enhance the quality of joint programs. Students from member universities also participated in the session, offering feedback and sharing ideas for future courses, exchanges and meetings. ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
