The European Youth Event: Meet young people from across Europe on 13 and 14 June
Find the data.europa.eu team during the event if visiting Strasbourg
On 13–14 June 2025, the European Parliament in Strasbourg will host the sixth edition of the European Youth Event (EYE2025), bringing together thousands of young people from across Europe and beyond. This unique gathering offers participants aged 16 to 30 the chance to engage directly with policymakers, activists, and fellow changemakers through a vibrant programme of debates, workshops, artistic performances, and interactive sessions.
A highlight of the event is the EYE Village, a dynamic outdoor space surrounding the Parliament where participants can explore exhibitions, enjoy live performances, and connect with youth organisations and EU institutions in an informal setting. With three thematic tracks — Engage, Empower, and Connect — EYE2025 invites young Europeans to deepen their understanding of EU democracy, develop civic skills, and build lasting networks.
This year, the data.europa.eu team will also be present at EYE2025, showcasing how open data empowers youth participation and innovation. Through interactive activities and live demos, participants will discover how to access and use EU open data to drive social change, support research, and create digital tools that benefit communities. It is a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of data, democracy, and youth engagement.
Participation is possible both online and on-site, with registrations for the latter now closed. If you have missed this, some activities on the EYE Village will still be available for on-the-spot registering, and more information about online participation will be available soon. Sign up and explore the full programme on the official EYE2025 website, and be part of Europe’s future!
