EYE Online
What is the EYE Online?
The European Parliament decided to postpone the European Youth Event in 2020 in view of the exceptional measures taken in relation with the COVID-19 outbreak. To compensate for the postponement of EYE2020, the European Parliament presented a special online edition of the event, with activities organised in digital formats.
The EYE Online offered young people from all over the European Union and beyond a unique opportunity to virtually meet and inspire each other, share their stories and exchange their views with experts, decision-makers, activists and influencers.
The event took place between early April and end of May with the final week offering a variety of activities focusing on trending topics, including: mental health, future of education, food of tomorrow and rural renewal, fake news, slow shopping, future of work, mass surveillance, vaccination.
The EYE Online aimed at addressing young people's concerns about the actions and role of the European Union in in the context of COVID-19 crisis, echoing a strong civic responsibility message to young Europeans as part of the #EuropeansAgainstCovid19 campaign.
More than 60 live activities were streamed on the European Youth Event Facebook page during the EYE Online. All the videos can be watched on demand via the link below.
