EYE2023 (European Youth Event 2023) will be opened by the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, on Friday 9 June at 11:00 in the Strasbourg hemicycle. In the afternoon, at 15:00, Parliament’s spokesperson Jaume Duch will brief journalists on the schedule and events ahead.

Around 10 000 young people are expected to participate in 250 in-person and hybrid activities – debates, discussions, networking opportunities, artistic performances, sports and interactive workshops-, organised by the European Parliament in cooperation with youth organisations, other EU institutions, civil society and the participants themselves.

The event will focus in particular on the 2024 European elections, the role of democracy and youth engagement.
