How does EYEN explains EYEF?
What is EYEF?
The European Youth Energy Forum (EYEF) is the flagship event organised by the European Youth Energy Network (EYEN), with the mission to create the space for youth to voice its opinion and collaborate with energy stakeholders towards better youth engagement.
The gap that EYEF fills
The time to rethink our relationship with energy is now and today's design choices for our future energy system will heavily impact current and especially future generations. Currently, there is a lack of youth engagement at a decision-making level in the European energy transition. EYEF aims to induce structural changes towards mainstreaming the ideas and visions of young people in the energy sector.
How does it works?
A group of young people are selected to participate in weekly online sessions, as well as a live event (with all expenses covered!). During the online sessions, we kick off the work needed to build a position paper on how to improve youth engagement in the energy transition at the European, National and local levels, in the public and private sectors, as well as in education. The focus might be in researching and writing new proposals, or on improving existing proposals.
The event includes discussion panels with energy experts (open to the general public and streamed online), as well as work sessions with the participants, facilitated by EYEN
