On Friday and Saturday, 1-2 June, the heart of Europe’s democracy opens its doors to more than 8,000 young people from across the EU and beyond. The third European Youth Event (EYE) will see a record number of participants engage in 400 activities, debates, performances and workshops at Parliament’s premises in Strasbourg.

Parliament’s President Antonio Tajani kicks off EYE 2018 in Parliament’s plenary chamber at 10.00 CET on Friday. The ideas from the two-day event will be wrapped up in a report with the best of them presented to Parliament’s committees after the summer.
