Nyon Strengthens Its Youth Offer with a New Teen Space and the Relaunch of a Youth Council

@Ville de Nyon

The Ville de Nyon is expanding its youth offer with a new dedicated space for 14–25-year-olds and the relaunch of its Youth Council. Together, these initiatives aim to give young people more places to meet, express themselves and take part in local life.

A New Youth Space at La Redoute

From Friday 6 March 2026, a new “Espace Jeunes” opens at the Maison de quartier de la Redoute (Chemin de la Redoute 12). It will run every Friday from 5pm to 8pm and is managed by their Vivre Ensemble team. The redesigned room includes a relaxed hangout area and a small snack bar. Evenings will be shaped by the young people themselves, with ideas already including:

• Gaming sessions

• Pizza nights

• Film screenings

• Occasional concerts

The concept is simple - the space evolves according to what young people want to create there.

Mercredis des Filles Continues to Grow

Since autumn 2025, “Mercredis des filles” has been welcoming girls aged 8+ every Wednesday during term time (2pm–4:30pm) at the Pré de l’Oie neighbourhood centre.

Around fifteen participants attend weekly. Sessions are led by the Cohésion sociale team and include creative workshops, baking, gaming and outings. The programme has quickly become a valued space for connection and conversation.

Supporting Youth Beyond School

These new initiatives build on Nyon’s wider youth support network, which already includes:

• Revision rooms at La Redoute

• Peer-led prevention during informal evenings

• Sports activities for teens and young adults

• Neighbourhood animation projects

The focus is consistent. Supporting young people’s ideas, creativity and wellbeing.

Youth Council Returns

The City is also relaunching its Youth Council for 14–25-year-olds.

The Council offers a platform to:

• Develop projects and organise events

• Share views on issues that matter locally

• Take part in shaping change in Nyon

Young residents can join a dedicated WhatsApp group to stay informed and get involved.

With a new youth hub and renewed opportunities for civic participation, Nyon is reinforcing a clear message: young people are an active part of the city’s present, not just its future.
