European Action Week is an event organized and promoted by the youth association network Generation Europe – The Academy.<\/p>\n
Local youth groups from 14 European countries declared 4-11 October 2024 as their European Action Week. Under the slogan “Act Local \u2013 Connect European \u2013 Think Global!”, they organized events, street actions, and other activities for democracy, sustainability, and social inclusion.<\/p>\n
For example, the local group from Marseille (France) hosted a series of Escape Room experiences for tourists and residents on the city’s beaches to raise awareness about climate change. In Gdansk (Poland), an eco-festival was organized, while actions against discrimination took place in Barcelona (Spain), Budapest (Hungary), and Munich (Germany). Some youth groups campaigned for improvements and equal opportunities in the education system, while others presented podcast projects to promote understanding between generations and different parts of society. Peer-to-peer education also played an important role: the local group from Ploie\u0219ti (Romania) invited other secondary and high school students to participate in workshops on civic engagement.<\/p>\n
