YENiversary – Networking Weekend 18.-21.7.2024!
The Youth of European Nationalities (YEN) turns 40 and we want to invite you warmly to our „YENiversary“, a weekend full of networking, fun and cultural diversity.
Together with our local partner the Slovenian Info-centre: “Slovenski info-center (SIC)”we want to gather around 100 people in Carinthia, Austria.

Are you a member of a minority and are you actively involved in a member organisation of the Youth of European Nationalities (YEN)? Were you active in YEN back then and are curious about how the organisation has developed? Do you know YEN or have you heard of us and would like to get to know us better? Then you’ve come to the right place!
At our ‘YENiversary’, not only people from our member organisations are warmly invited, but also YEN alumni, friends and partners of the organisation.
Where and when does this take place?
Dates: 18th – 21st July 2024

What will we do?
Bands, artistic performances and sporting activities will be there to celebrate together, but also small workshops and panels will provide space for discussion and reflection on the challenges and opportunities faced by young people in different minority groups.
We want to look back on the history of YEN together and encourage older and newer generations to exchange ideas. With the ‘YENiversary’ we would like to thank all YEN activists, former activists and supporters who are committed to their communities and building a diverse and inclusive society.
