Called to freedom, justice and peace! Galatians 5:13

Ecumenical Youth Council in Europe Europe is a strong network of young Christians promoting the unity of Christianity throughout all of Europe. We have member organisations in 24 countries.

Who we are

EYCE is a strong network of young Christians from all over Europe who seek unity between Christians and are engaged in the work for justice, peace, care and respect for creation. We drive for diversity and youth participation not only in our youth organisation but also in the local communities.

As a Christian youth organisation, EYCE strives to represent young people in Europe as much as possible. EYCE works on an entirely ecumenical basis, and therefore considers itself to be part of the wider ecumenical movement. It wants to encourage Churches and Christian youth movements in Europe to strive towards the unity of all Christians.

Upcoming events

We aim to provide bot in person and online events for young Christians all over Europe. Join our monthly Bible Studies online, held always on the second Monday of the month at 18 CET.

There are two international trainings coming for EYCE in 2025. In June an international activity “Being broke isn’t woke: Tackling youth poverty” and in September a study session “Faith in Action”.
