The European Forum of Young Leaders is organized within the framework of the European Youth Week (EYW), which takes place every two years and is organized by the European Commission. It encourages young people to get involved in Europe’s activities and decisions. EYW helps young people talk with leaders, shares their opinions, and highlights their projects. EYW 2026 will take place between April 24 to May 1, 2026.
Focusing on Solidarity and Fairness, and celebrating 30 years of volunteering in Europe, EYW 2026 will focus on promoting youth engagement, participation and active citizenship all over Europe and beyond. The Forum in Gdynia will be an excellent opportunity for you to showcase your activities and initiatives while contributing to the larger conversation surrounding Democracy & European values, with Solidarity and Fairness as the main focus.
The Forum will create a space for active youth activists from Poland and other countries of the European Union, the Neighbours East, the Western Balkans, and Mediterranean countries, to exchange experiences, network, and engage in discussions on issues that are crucial to young people across Europe.
