About "European Forum of Young Leaders"
The European Forum of Young Leaders is organised within the framework of the European Youth Week (EYW), which occurs once each two years and is coordinated by the European Commission. It aims to inspire youth to actively participate in European activities and decision-making processes. EYW facilitates dialogue between young people and leaders, encourages the expression of their viewpoints, and showcases their projects. EYW 2024 is scheduled for April 12-19.
