The European Youth Event 2021 (EYE), the European Parliaments’ flagship event for youth, took place on 8 and 9 October. Thousands of young people gathered from all over Europe to shape and share their ideas on the future of Europe.

On 8 October, an information session about the European Youth Foundation (EYF) was delivered by the secretariat and representatives of the Programming Committee on Youth, Pegah Moulana and Tilemachos Boni.

The session was attended by around 25 young people, representing national and international youth organisations from Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, France, and Portugal among others. Through an interactive presentation, participants learnt about funding opportunities and additional support provided by the EYF and discussed key elements of successful project applications.
