About

EYFON – European Youth Forum, a meeting and dialogue centre at Forchenstein Castle (Europaburg) in Neumarkt in der Steiermark (Region of Styria), was established in March 2018. It is located a rural area, surrounded by mountains and forest. There are connections to Klagenfurt (approx. 40 min) and Graz (approx. 1,5-2h).

EYFON collaborates with young people/groups from all over Europe, providing a space for the promotion of European values and principles. A key motivation was to seek answers to the challenges currently faced by Europe. We organize weekly seminars where young Europeans discuss the future of the European continent, pose critical questions, and develop perspectives on how to strengthen European citizenship. In partnership with relevant European institutions, we offer an exciting and inspiring program for young people centred around European ideas and ideals. Our focus extends beyond the apparent question of individual nationality versus the European Community; it also includes topics such as tolerance within different regions of Europe, specific cultural characteristics, and diverse approaches to issues like migration. Professional talks, presentations, and workshops are interspersed with enjoyable social activities, cultural excursions, and sports events.

The European Youth Forum Neumarkt contributes to the inter-European dialogue by providing a platform for young people to meet, exchange thoughts and ideas. Experience the spirit of the European community firsthand and find answers to the question: What will Europe’s future look like?

The volunteers support organizing events in EYFON, such as conferences, workshops, and summer camps. They assist in accompanying groups on excursions and free-time activities.
