Are you a young game-changer, fluent in English and a citizen of the EU or one of the Eastern Neighbourhood countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine)? Are you interested in EU affairs, your country’s partnership with EU and would like to engage in online and dialogue-driven activities?
If so, the EU NEIGHBOURS east project invites you to apply to become a ‘Young European Ambassador’ and take part in an initiative that connects more than 100 young people from the EU Member States and the Eastern Neighbourhood countries.
The role of the Young European Ambassadors (YEAs) is to represent the youth of their countries and network with young people from the European Union and the Eastern Neighbourhood countries. They exchange experience, discuss matters of direct concern to young people, share best practices and work together for a better future.
- A total of 100 young people have been appointed as YEAs in September 2016, following an open application process. A new call is being launched this year to enlarge the network.
- Between 10 and 20 YEAs have been appointed from each Eastern Neighbourhood country and the EU Member States.
