What is it?
More than a website
The EU Youth Portal is jointly maintained by the European Commission and the Eurodesk network. It covers 23 official EU languages, and DiscoverEU content is additionally available in Icelandic, Macedonian, Norwegian, Serbian and Turkish.
The portal is deeply embedded in the EU Youth Strategy 2019–2027 — the framework for EU youth policy cooperation based on the Council resolution of 26 November 2018. The strategy focuses on three core words: Engage, Connect and Empower.
