EUROPEAN YOUTH EVENT

/in

One of the core ideas of the event is to encourage young participants to actively participate in the EYE programme and its delivery as much as possible. There are three ways to actively participate in the EYE 2014:

1. Register for, take part and engage in political debates, workshops and other activities (in English, French and German) during the three days of the EYE. Ideas and conclusions will form a final report for presentation to the newly elected European Parliament Members, as well as other European decision-makers with a view to serving as a source of inspiration.

Registration for the EYE 2014 starts on 8 October 2013 at 12:00

2. Apply to stage an artistic performance – be it music, dance, acrobatics, sketches or anything else you might want to propose. A selection of the applicants will be able to perform during the Street Festival which will take place on various stages in the city of Strasbourg on Friday evening. Details will be published on this website in October.

3. Apply to present a special initiative that is related to the five main topics. A limited number of initiatives can be presented at the EYE in an interactive way (e.g. by organising an interactive stand outside, offering a practical workshop). Details will be published on this website in October.

Who can register?

Young Europeans from Member States, candidate states and neighbourhood countries aged between 16 and 30 years.

Due to the specific nature of the activities, only group reservations can be accepted. The minimum group size is 10. Every group needs to have a group leader, who will take responsibility for the group’s registration process, logistics, programme and accommodation. To qualify as a group leader, you must be at least 18 years old and an EU national.

How?

Interested groups of young people can register either for the whole three-day event or for individual days. On Friday, besides the regular programme, there will be additional activities targeted at school groups.

There will be two phases of registration. In the first phase, group leaders will be able to apply to participate in the event through an online registration system. In the second phase individual participants in a group will be signed up for programme activities.

Group registration will open on 8 October 2013 at 12:00 through this website.

In the new year group leaders will be informed of when and how to register their individual participants for programme activities. Details will also be posted on this website.

There is no fee for attending the EYE 2014 event. However, participants will need to cover their own transport, accommodation and meals.
