🌟 About the Project
Europe on Track is one of Europe’s most iconic youth-led initiatives, powered by AEGEE and run entirely by passionate volunteers 🌍✨. Every year, six young ambassadors travel across Europe by train 🚆— visiting over 20 cities, meeting youth communities, facilitating workshops, and collecting young people’s voices on urgent social topics. Thanks to the support of Eurail, the European Youth Foundation, the Council of Europe and the European Union, this programme gives young changemakers a chance to witness Europe firsthand, share ideas, and spark meaningful dialogue across borders 🇪🇺💬.
The project team designs a new annual theme each cycle, creating space for awareness-raising, civic engagement, youth participation, and intercultural learning. Ambassadors collaborate with 200+ local volunteers, meet countless young people, and become part of a Europe-wide movement for change.
💬 Theme of Europe on Track 12: Eco-Anxiety – How to Channel It?
This year, the project focuses on eco-anxiety — a growing emotional response felt by millions of young Europeans who fear environmental degradation, climate instability, and an uncertain future 🌱💭.
Europe on Track 12 explores:
- 🧠 The psychological and social dimensions of climate concern
- 🤝 How community support and peer networks reduce anxiety
- 🌍 How eco-anxiety can motivate systemic change
- 💡 Turning fear into climate action, civic engagement & collective resilience
Through workshops, interviews, discussions, and local events, ambassadors help youth transform anxiety into action, support, and hope.
