Ecumenical Youth Council in 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
There are several opportunities throughout the year to join EYCE and to come together with other young Christians from all over Europe, both online and in person. Keep track through our social media, newsletter or on the homepage.
In 2026 we are offering two in-person activities as part of our project “Empowering Young Christian Voices”
