The European Youth in Parks Day is a commemorative day for Protected Areas across Europe involving young people in their daily work.
European Youth in Parks Day
European Youth in Parks Day is a celebration of the passion, energy and ideas young people bring to Protected Areas across Europe. It is open to all
Each year on the 15 September, we invite Protected Areas and young people to organise local events and activities to celebrate European Youth in Parks Day. The EUROPARC Youth Council chose the theme of Nature Restoration, as they would like to collect photos and videos of young people to showcase at the EUROPARC Conference in Lithuania in October!
How to participate:
1. Protected Areas: Run an event with young people on or around the 15th of September
- Register it with us
- Post about it and tag us
- Send us your best photo
2. Youth: Showcase your Youth Group’s work restoring nature in or around a Protected Area
- Join the WhatsApp Community
- Film the work you and your youth group are involved in anytime this summer
- Post the video in the WhatsApp Group
- Have it featured on EUROPARC Youth communications platforms and at the Conference
By sharing your stories, photos and videos, you help raise the profile of youth work across the nature conservation sector. Together, we can show that when young people are active in nature, they make a real difference.
