Mediaș has emerged as a finalist for the prestigious title of 'Capitala Tineretului din România 2028', showcasing the city's commitment to its youth. The local administration, youth organizations, and community partners have rallied behind Mediaș, ensuring a strong candidacy.

The project team from Sibiu will present their proposal on October 23 in Alba Iulia. Mediaș's candidacy is particularly noteworthy, as the projects proposed have been developed with direct involvement from young people through the Association Rise Hub.
