On April 12-19th, and more precisely 2 months ahead of the European elections scheduled on June 6-9th, the European Youth Week 2024 will take place. It is an event organized by the European Commission, aimed to highlight the key importance of young participation and engagement and active citizenship all over the world.
Why does it matter?
It is your turn to raise your vision, take part in debates, but also be the one(s) suggesting and leading activities. The focus will be democracy and the European elections and how young people can become more engaged in the local communities and raise their voices and their peers’. In addition to that, it is a unique opportunity to connect with other young people sharing similar interests and motivation to make the difference, and get inspired by them.
How can YOU plan an activity or event?
First of all, remember that your idea will have to be aligned with the main topic of the event “Voice your vision”. It does not matter what type of format of activity or event you wish to suggest, it is totally up to you. Make sure to upload your event on the Activity Map that you find on the European Youth portal.
Registration is already open until the end of March, upload the activity, download the visual identity and if you need assistance try to reach out other the Eurodesk nearby, or the National Agencies for Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps.
