An exciting opportunity for young changemakers, students, and volunteers from across Europe who are passionate about climate activism, mental health advocacy, and youth-led change to join the final conference of "Europe on Track 12", which takes place in Brussels, Belgium, from 27-30 June 2026.

About the "Europe on Track 12"

Europe on Track 12 is hosting its Final Conference in Brussels, bringing together young changemakers, youth activists, volunteers, experts, and policymakers from across Europe to address eco-anxiety and its impact on young people. As the climate crisis intensifies, many young Europeans experience overwhelming feelings of fear, helplessness, and distress about environmental degradation and an uncertain future.

Over four days, you will participate in workshops, expert discussions, and policy drafting sessions alongside our Ambassadors and key stakeholders. This is an opportunity to amplify youth voices and make an impact on European climate activism.

Europe on Track is an award-winning youth-led project that has been shaping conversations on crucial societal issues for over a decade. Organized by AEGEE-Europe, one of the largest student-led networks in Europe, the project sends young ambassadors on an interrail journey across the continent to engage with local communities through workshops, discussions, and storytelling.

Each year, the project tackles a pressing social issue, and this 12th edition is dedicated to eco-anxiety and how it can be channeled and used productively as a form of activism.

What to expect? - Ambassadors-led interactive workshops on eco-anxiety, climate change, and activism.

- Expert discussions and skill-building sessions to move from theory to action, exploring European decision-making processes and how policy actually gets made.

- Collaborative development of a youth-driven policy paper, including guidance on how to advocate your ideas and frame your vision for decision-makers.

- Grand public conference, where we will present results, hear from guest speakers, and connect with key stakeholders.
