About EYE Berlin
In cooperation with the European Parliament, the European Youth Parliament has been selected to organise and host four local editions of the EYE (European Youth Event). The first event will be EYE Berlin, which will bring together 1700 young people physically and 500 online participants for 3 days of workshops, discussions, and cultural programme.
The central mission of the EYE Berlin is to bring together the young people from all over Europe to collaboratively explore and experience Europe and to engage with and empower each other.
The three-day event is scheduled to take place in various locations across Berlin in spring 2024 and will offer its participants the chance to partake in a programme showcasing the rich landscape of youth and civil society organisations across Europe, to foster international connections with each other, and to get to know and discuss the issues at the forefront of the EU’s agenda.
EYE Berlin will include workshops, debates, and trainings of different sizes, but also dedicated spaces for networking, cultural exchange activities, and leisure. Thematically, EYE Berlin will be based around five pillars:
● European Elections
● United Europe
● Sustainable Europe
● Innovative Europe
● Capacity-building of youth NGOs
