2024 was a landmark year for democracy worldwide, with nearly half the global population voting in key elections, including the European Parliamentary elections. Against this backdrop, the theme for the European Youth Information Day 2024 (#EYID24) was “Walk the Talk: Come forward for what matters.”

In the European Year of Skills, the European Youth Information Day 2023 (#EYID23) embraced the theme of digital well-being and responsible online engagement. Under the slogan “My Digital Me: Connected. Informed. Critical,” the campaign aimed to equip young people with essential skills in cybersecurity and media literacy.

In the European Year of Youth, the European Commission put young people at the centre. Thousands of initiatives took place across Europe, including the #EYID22 campaign.

There is no doubt that the campaign for the European Youth Information Day 2021 has opened a meaningful discussion on mental health and emotional well-being among young people and youth workers.

Under the slogan “Climate changes, truth does not. Stay informed, check for yourself”, ERYICA invited young people to reflect critically and encourage youth advocacy about one of the hottest topics of the new decade: the climate emergency.
