European Youth Event

WHAT IS THE EYE?

Every two years, the EYE (European Youth Event) brings together thousands of young people from across the European Union and beyond, right at the heart of European democracy. The EYE is a unique opportunity for 16- to 30-year-olds to inspire and get inspired, to debate directly with Members of the European Parliament and other European decision-makers, and to exchange views with experts, activists, and content creators. 

EYE2025, the sixth edition of this event, will take place on 13 and 14 June 2025, offering an interactive and dynamic mix of activities, debates, workshops, visits, artistic performances and much more – both inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg and around the EYE Village.

The EYE Village programme will be coordinated by the European Youth Forum, as a space where creativity meets activism, with activities co-created by youth and civil society organisations, ensuring representation and a plurality of perspectives.
