The European Youth Capital (EYC) has been around for more than ten years now, and as the title has shifted from city to city, it has left a strong impression. From 2009 in Rotterdam to 2022 in Tirana, the EYC has been a force for empowering young people to take a more active role in building a better Europe.
At the same time, according to Tirana Mayor, Erion Veliaj, this year's titleholder, young people in the Albanian capital have a chance to build on their European identity while being a part of a larger community.
According to Elke Decruynaere, Alderman for Education, Upbringing and Youth in Ghent, Belgium, the title-holder for 2024, the agenda priorities for the city, like more green space and sustainable mobility match what young people want. This creates formidable momentum for policy decisions, that can only be amplified by the title.
