From May 8 to 11 2014, 120 young journalists from across the European Union will gather at the European Youth Media Days for high-ranking debates and hands-on media production while covering the European Youth Event.
In this eight edition of the event, the participants will be covering the European Youth Event (EYE), which will take place in Strasbourg in May. The EYE will gather around 5,000 youngsters from all over Europe for discussions on the economic, social and political situation of the European Union through different themes: Digital Revolution and Data Protection, Youth Unemployment, Sustainable Development, Future of Europe, and Europe as a Global Player. The European elections in 2014 will be the next historical mark for the European Union. If these elections were to reflect that the EU does not succeed in engaging closer with its citizens and making visible how they can contribute to the European project its democratic foundation would become increasingly weak. What does the young generation think of the European Union’s performance?
