European Year of Youth: a healthy discovery for young people through sports, culture and travel

2022 is the European Year of Youth and in the words of President von der Leyen, "A year dedicated to empowering those who have dedicated so much to others". This year puts ALL young people in the spotlight, especially those with fewer opportunities, from disadvantaged and diverse backgrounds, and from rural, remote, peripheral and less-developed areas.

Health well-being and sports is one of the eight key policy areas for the year. Under it, the main policy initiative is HealthyLifestyle4All, which aims to connect the dots between physical activity, health, food, mobility, research and environment.

Through the Youth Ideas Labs, European youngsters are asked for fresh and innovative ideas in support of lifelong healthy habits.

In a parallel breakout room, participants will explore how by travelling with DiscoverEU, young people can be encouraged to support local economies, eat healthily and travel in an active and sustainable manner.
