A NEW show that focuses on the lives of young people across Europe will follow Criccieth singer, Efa Thomas.

Generation Beth is an opportunity for young people in Wales to share their experiences and compare their lives to those of other people across Europe.

The project is aimed at young people, aged between 18 and 34 years old, and discusses a wide range of topics including money, personal life, sex, family, friends, work and the law.

The four-part series, which starts on Friday, 13 May on S4C, follows the lives of individuals from all over Europe including singer Efa.

“It was an interesting experience taking part in the project and very strange to show my life to the cameras,” says Efa, who discusses her family background and her hopes and dreams for the future in the second programme in the series on 20 May.

“Perhaps it was almost like therapy for me, because I do feel that I’m currently at some kind of crossroads in my life.

“The programme I’m in focuses on growing up and becoming an adult.

“My generation is living in a time of uncertainty, but we are lucky to have more choices about what we want to do and how we want to live our lives.”

The project, which includes an online survey, has been launched in Wales and 11 other European countries including Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Luxemburg, Holland, Greece, France and the Czech Republic.

In the first week of launching the project, over 400,000 individuals completed the survey.

The aim is to explore the ambitions, hopes and worries of the younger generation today.

“It will be interesting to see how other young people in Wales have answered the survey,” added Efa, who is known in Wales for her music project Supertramp.

“It might also show that we may have more in common with someone hundreds of miles away than our neighbours.

“I’ve experienced a lot of changes in my life recently.

“I ended a long-term relationship, left my job and I don’t have anywhere to live at the moment so I sofa surf with friends.

“I’m almost 25 and trying to work out what to do with my life!

“Although each country has its own culture and language, life isn’t that different for young people from place to place.

“We all use the internet to communicate and it’s easier than ever before to connect with people.

“However, I do also think we’ve lost that personal touch with others and we do spend too much time on social media.”

Generation Beth has been developed from Generation Quoi, a survey in France in 2013 which portrayed the lives of young people aged between 15 and 34 years-old.

It is produced by France Télévisions, Upian and Yami 2 in partnership with EBU and 16 European broadcasters including S4C.
