Event Description

Join the Young Europe Summer Summit in the beautiful Folk High School Krogerup Højskole in the Danish city of Humlebæk for a week-stay from August 14–20, 2022

For a week, more than a hundred young people from all over Europe will gather to debate, learn, create and to make their voice heard on the future of Europe.

During the Summer Summit, participants will explore issues of particular relevance for the European youth. Participants will engage in different topics and furthermore get the opportunity to receive local leadership resources, share best practices on activism and on achieving the sustainable development goals and become part of a pan-European network to further support their work as youth change-agents.

There will be workshops, creative labs, lectures, music, sport and excursions. You will choose one out of five thematic areas, in which you will  dive into with your group during the week. The topics are: 

Migration and Justice

Technology and Democracy

The New Economy

Climate and Environment

Polarisation in Europe
