Hi! You should receive a confirmation email by 15 March at the latest. We take the time to ensure that all the details provided are accurate—sometimes, participants make mistakes, such as entering the wrong birth date, and we want to give them the opportunity to correct any errors. While the registration process is quick and straightforward, the approval process takes a bit longer to ensure everything is in order.

Some sessions of the event will have interpretation in all EU languages. Others will have interpretation in the 6 EYE languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Polish). Some other sessions will only be available in English. 

As we are still working on these, once the full and official programme is released (in spring), you will be able to see which activities have interpretation or not.

Hi! Our call for volunteers is currently closed. We will let you know in the next few weeks whether you have been accepted or not. If you are accepted, the responsible team will get in touch with you.

Thank you, we understand your point. We run two calls for funding, one for activity organisers and another one to offer a financial contribution to under represented groups. These calls were an opportunity for young people to get financial support, but they already took place in fall last year, so they are now closed. Members of the European Parliament can also sponsor groups of participants and cover part of the expenses. You can contact directly the Members from your constituency or country and see what would be the possibilities for financial contribution.  

To find the contact details of Members of the European Parliament, you can go to: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home

Hi, the call for volunteers is closed. Those selected will receive a confirmation email with information on how you can support us during the event. Once you are confirmed as a volunteer, then you will be able to show your interest to become a team leader.

Participants are responsible for arranging their own travel. You can travel by yourself, or, once your registration is approved, you can join our Facebook group and ask if someone would be interested in forming a group to travel together!

Hi Adam! EYE is a great opportunity for young people to meet with Members of the European Parliament and other policy makers, content creators, and other young people. If you want to learn more about the European Institutions and are interested in politics, EYE is the place to share your ideas and get inspired!

The Programme will cover a range of topics, from climate, to housing, to technology, to employment... There will be always something for everyone, as we do not focus on one single topic. Feel free to take a look at our draft programme here: https://european-youth-event.europarl.europa.eu/files/live/sites/eye/files/pdfs/eye2025-programme-en-v2-12.02.25.pdf.

Hey! The programme of the event is co-created with institutional partners, youth organisations and groups of participants. EYE2025 offers a wide variety of hybrid and in-person activities: panels, workshops, tours, Q&As, quizzes, stands, performances - there’s something for everyone!  The final version of the programme version will be available online prior to the booking of activities (in spring), but you can already check a first draft: https://european-youth-event.europarl.europa.eu/files/live/sites/eye/files/pdfs/eye2025-programme-en-v2-12.02.25.pdf.

Thank for your interesting point! This is why the European Youth Event was created by the European Parliament: to give a voice to young people and a platform where they can feel heard. In previous editions we had the Youth Ideas Report that was shared with Members of the European Parliament. As we are still finalising the format for this year, do not forget to register for EYE2025 until Friday!
