If you are a non-profit organisation based in a member state of the European Union discover how to become the official organiser of the next European Youth Event (local EYEs)!
The European Parliament is providing financial support through grants to two non-profit organisations to organise the event that will take place in spring 2024.
What is European Youth Event (EYE)?
The EYE (European Youth Event) is an event that aims to bring together thousands of young people from all over the European Union to share and shape their ideas on Europe’s future.
It is a unique opportunity for 16 to 30 year olds to interact, inspire each other and exchange their views and experiences.
A lot of experts, activists, influencers and decision-makers will also be participating in the event.
What will the local events be like?
The event will be focusing on promoting European values and wants to give the opportunity to young people to collaborate and share their views and opinions about their life in Europe.
The events will be:
