What is EYE2021?

The European Youth Event (EYE) brings together at the European Parliament in Strasbourg thousands of young people from all over the European Union and beyond, to shape and share their ideas on the future of Europe.

EYE2021 will take place on 8 and 9 October 2021, with physical and online activities, co-created with partners, youth organisations and participants themselves, that offer more opportunities to take part and connect through hybrid formats.

It is a unique opportunity for 16 to 30 years old to interact in-person and online, inspire each other and exchange their views with experts, activists, influencers and decision-makers, right in the heart of European democracy.

As EYE2021 coincides with the consultation phase of the Conference on the Future of Europe, it is expected that activities will reflect the topics of the conference – allowing EYE participants to become part of the youth consultation process of the consultation.

Following the event, the most prominent ideas and concerns of young people will be presented to all Members of the European Parliament for follow up and feedback.

Year-round, the EYE also provides online activities that create opportunities for wider public discussions on the future of Europe and the issues on the top of the agenda.

EYE strives to promote equality, inclusiveness and sustainability with a strong commitment to accessibility for everyone. Our aim is to accommodate the needs of all participants and to implement actions that make the event sustainable and environmentally friendly. The EYE is in the process of obtaining the ISO 20121 certification for sustainable event management.
