The EU4Youth Days 2025 took place in Brussels on 8–9 October, marking another successful chapter of this flagship event dedicated to advancing employment, participation and education opportunities in the Eastern Partnership. Building on the tradition of previous editions, the event brought together around 150 participants from the EU4Youth programme and beyond, including youth representatives, practitioners, decision-makers and stakeholders from the EU and Eastern Partnership countries

This year’s programme featured an interactive, workshop-style format combined with panel debates, project showcases and networking opportunities – including an exhibition fair. It provided a dedicated space for dialogue and co-creation on key priorities of the EU4Youth programme, such as closing the skills gap, integrating youth into the labour market, boosting youth employment and entrepreneurship, supporting youth work, and empowering young leaders.

Discussions throughout the two days reflected the cross-cutting importance of education, inclusion and diversity, gender equality, climate action, digital transformation, and youth well-being, underlining the interconnectedness of the challenges and opportunities that young people face across the Eastern Partnership.
