Every two years, the European Youth Event (EYE) brings together thousands of young people from all over the European Union and the world to shape and share their ideas on the future of Europe. Young people from 16 to 30 years old will be able to interact, inspire each other and exchange their views with experts, activists, influencers, and decision-makers. EYE2023 will take place on 9-10 June 2023 and will feature both in-person and hybrid activities in Strasbourg, France.
During the event, participants will take part in activities co-created with institutions, international organisations, civil society and youth organisations, and participants themselves, offering space for discussions and networking.
