What they say

Volunteering during EYE is an amazing three-day experience. You meet new people, help each other and build new friendships between and with citizens from all over the world. EYE2018 allowed me to discover the European institutions and to strengthen my commitment as a citizen of Europe. I had to coordinate a group and directly answer participants’ expectations. I have happy and nostalgic memories, and I can’t wait for the next EYE edition.
Sébastien (volunteer leader, EYE2018)

EYE gave me the opportunity to make new friends and connections with people from all over Europe and of course to improve my communication skills and French. If you are still hesitant about becoming a volunteer, I can assure you that it will be an unforgettable experience..
Vien (volunteer leader, EYE2018)

As an EYE volunteer, you have an “insider feeling” and a sense of pride in helping to organise such a big event. It’s also a good opportunity to understand how such an event is organised. I would definitely recommend volunteering if you are interested in the EU, if you have a bit of time available and if you want to have a lot of fun! It could also be a very valuable experience in terms of your future studies and career because more and more universities and companies are looking for young people who actively engaged in various causes!
Valentin (volunteer leader, EYE2018)

Being an EYE volunteer is an incredible experience, which I would sum up in three words: “Experience, friendship, happiness”.

Why become an EYE volunteer? To make friends, to be part of a democratic experience and to have the opportunity to visit the European institutions.

Anaïs (Zone leader, EYE2021)

I had the chance to discover new cultures, new stories and new ideas and to be able to see things from different perspectives. I believe that EYE represented a great opportunity for me to expand my networks, both personal and professional, and enhance my career opportunities.
