European Youth Event 2025: Last Week for Media Registration

The European Parliament is gearing up to host the European Youth Event 2025 (EYE2025) in Strasbourg on 13-14 June, welcoming around 8,500 young people from 153 countries. Journalists interested in covering the event are reminded to complete their registration by 20 May.

EYE2025 aims to facilitate discussions between young citizens and key EU decision-makers, including Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), Commissioners, experts, activists, and content creators. The event will feature various activities, including panel discussions, workshops, artistic performances, and interactive sessions, all centered around topics such as climate justice, freedom of speech, and the EU’s long-term budget.

Notable figures like Roberta Metsola, the European Parliament’s President, and Commissioner Glenn Micallef will be actively involved in engaging with participants. MEPs will also participate in panels to share insights into the Parliament’s legislative work. Additionally, a press briefing with Vice Presidents Sabine Verheyen and Pina Picierno is scheduled for 13 June, along with workshops on combating disinformation on 14 June.

All journalists planning to attend EYE2025 must apply for accreditation before the deadline, even if they already hold access passes to EU institutions. The event, now in its sixth edition, provides a platform for young individuals to interact directly with decision-makers, fostering inclusivity, co-creation, and democracy.

Queries can be directed to the European Parliament’s press officer, Raquel Ramalho LOPES. With a focus on empowering youth and promoting dialogue, EYE2025 is set to be a dynamic forum for exchanging ideas and shaping the future of Europe.
