About us

European Youth was established in 1973, shortly after the first referendum on Norwegian membership of the European Community in 1972. The organization was central to the Norwegian EU campaign in 1994 and in the 1990s was one of Norway's largest youth organizations with almost 10 000 members.

European Youth is first and foremost a non-partisan youth organization that works for an active Norwegian membership in the European Union. We want a united Europe where democratic countries work for binding cooperation to solve common challenges. We also work to raise young people's level of knowledge about the EU and Norway's relationship with Europe.

European Youth is an organization with around 1000 members in local, student and county branches across the country. The daily activities take place at the local level and consist of everything from school visits and stands to lectures, training of our members, debates and social gatherings.
