#JoinUs for the third edition of the European Rural Youth Summit [ERYS], where we continue our mission to develop the rural youth ecosystem in Europe under the theme “Together for Today”, with a focus on rural youth wellbeing and intercultural dialogue.

The main goal of the summit is to empower rural youth across Europe by promoting wellbeing, fostering cross-cultural understanding, and facilitating dialogue between young people and European decision-makers.

Moreover, this year, we aim to build on the achievements of the first two editions of the summit, ensuring its legacy while focusing on the expansion of the European Youth Village program across Europe. This 3rd edition also marks the official launch of the European Youth Village program in Slovakia.

Organized under the umbrella of the European Youth Village program, ERYS is more than a meeting; it’s a movement towards strengthening rural youth networks, amplifying the young people’s voices, and driving tangible change across the European rural communities.
