What was the European Year of Youth?

2022 was the European Year of Youth (EYY), shining a light on the importance of European youth to build a better future – greener, more inclusive and digital. During the EYY, young people seized the many opportunities to engage in more than 13 000 activities in 67 countries. Youth were given a voice, and it was heard! Through social media, during debates and encounters between our politicians and young citizens, young people expressed their views and aspirations. 

Now it’s time to reflect and act on the Year of Youth legacy!
