# Agents of Change

> Erasmus+ youth project: one-day hackathons in Senigallia, Pesaro and Münster where young people aged 16–29 build their first AI agent for a real community need. No coding experience needed.

Agents of Change is an Erasmus+ youth project (September 2026 – June 2027) in which young people aged 16–29 with no prior AI knowledge build their first AI agent in a free one-day hackathon, applied to a real need of their community. The name has a double meaning: the AI agents participants design, and the young people themselves as agents of change.
