Introduction
Young people are important change-makers and are essential to build peaceful and democratic societies. Europe wants and needs you to help build your future. Are you ready to get involved in 2022 during the European Year of Youth?
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the EU has designated 2022 the European Year of Youth (EYY). The pandemic has been a difficult period for younger generations in particular. As society in general recovers from its effects, engaging with young people and understanding their concerns is essential to move on from the crisis.
"Let's not forget how the young generation has been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. I admire your resilience throughout these challenging times."
Charles Michel, European Council President
