Summary/Abstract: The paper starts from the drama of young people after graduating from school. In general, there is an expectation regarding the employment of young people in well-known companies for successful careers. This year was associated with the fact that tourism is a development priority for both Neamț County and Piatra Neamț. We put in front of the young people the hypothesis that they would be the decision makers of some policies, actions, initiatives through which they create job opportunities. Two fronts of work resulted. First front was the hypothetical role of young people as a generator of jobs. The second front was formed by the challenge of building a vision for attracting tourists. The result was an interactive dialogue that generated some interesting ideas and highlighted the fact that youth is a resource worth considering for the future of local development.
