The EYCA Conference has always been an opportunity for EYCA members to get together, make plans but also to celebrate their achievements. The 32nd EYCA Conference which took place in Poland from June 2nd to the 5th was no exception. As always, the highlight of the last Conference night was the EYCA Excellence Awards.

Here are the winning EYCA members, as voted by their peers:

Sustainability Award - Centre Information Jeunes, Luxembourg

The first award of the evening went to Luxembourg in recognition of the great work and dedication of the Centre Information Jeunes team, especially their contribution to the EYCA Mobility in the Mind project.

Quality Benefits and Discounts Award – Young Scot, Scotland, UK

Young Scot was voted the EYCA member with the best discounts and opportunities designed to support young people to grow and live happy, fulfilled and healthy lives.

Youth Mobility and Active Citizenship Award - Polish Youth Projects Association, Poland

The EYCA member in Poland won the Youth Mobility and Active Citizenship Award for their work to organise the City Games in Kwidzyn that saw young people engaged in fun activities outdoors, learning new skills and making new friends.

Knowledge of Young People Award – Mecenat, Sweden

Mecenat set a great example for all EYCA members on how to use mobile app technology to find out more about young people and their needs and use this information to tailor their services. Their great practice did not go unnoticed and they were voted the winners in this category.

Communications & PR Award - Agència Catalana de la Joventut, Catalonia, Spain

The 30th anniversary of the youth card in Catalonia was celebrated with a great communications campaign with a clear message – all generations are Carnet Jove generations because for the past 3 decades the card has always been there for young Catalans. The campaign earned the Catalan organisation the EYCA Communications and PR Award.

Active Contribution to EYCA Award – Movijovem, Portugal

The final winner of the night was one of the founding members of the Association also celebrating 30 years of the youth card this year. Movijovem won the Active Contribution to EYCA Award for being such an important part of the Association from the very beginning and for continuing to deliver outstanding work for young people, as shown by their 30th Anniversary campaign.
