Europe on Track 9

Europe on Track 9 (EOT9) was a youth-led edition of AEGEE’s European project focused on gender equality and combating gender-based violence. Young ambassadors traveled across Europe by train to engage with young people through non-formal education workshops, discussions, and interviews, with a strong focus on creating safe and inclusive spaces, including in digital environments. By collecting lived experiences and perspectives, EOT9 empowered young people as changemakers and brought youth voices to the forefront of European dialogue on equality and social justice.
