European Planning Meeting 2025

Get ready to light up the change at the European Planning Meeting (EPM) 2025! From 5 to 9 February, join us in İstanbul as we explore this year’s topic: “Lighting the Spark of Change: Youth Advocacy in Action.”

Thematic Conference

Step into an energetic forum where you’ll engage in workshops, panels, and discussions on how AEGEE—and you as individuals—can advance youth advocacy and influence decision-making across Europe. With sessions on the importance of policy, the role of AEGEE in amplifying young voices, and strategies to inspire effective community advocacy, this conference will equip you with the skills and knowledge to become a powerful changemaker. Participate in sessions that suit you to craft a meaningful and memorable EPM experience.

Drafting the Action Agenda

Be a part of shaping AEGEE’s future actions and building its advocacy potential! In these collaborative drafting sessions, we’ll tackle actions for the Focus Areas: Eco-Responsible Society, Digital Culture, and Bridges of Dialogue. Through brainstorming, discussions, and capacity-building exercises, you’ll contribute to drafting goals that will help AEGEE reach its mission of empowering youth engagement by its 40th anniversary. Additionally, we’ll reflect on AEGEE’s journey in youth participation and civic engagement, exploring ways to build upon our history to enrich policy and advocacy efforts in the final year of the Strategic Plan 2023-26. Is it going to be your first EPM? Do not hesitate to apply and get ready to inspire others and get inspired by AEGEEans.
