European Youth Alliance in Sport (EYAS) European Youth Alliance in Sport (EYAS) ========================================= EYAS (European Youth Alliance in Sport) is a student-led initiative supported by CIVIS, aiming to unite young people across Europe who are interested in and studying in the field of sports. Through networking, training, and advocacy, EYAS seeks to build a European student alliance that fosters inclusivity, equal opportunities, and youth participation in sports governance. EYAS is also a European organisation representing young people in the field of sports. Its goal is to advocate for and defend the interests of the young people it represents with European institutions and other relevant bodies. Do the values of sports mean a lot to you? Would you like to be more active as a citizen and as a young European? The EYAS project launch seminar, supported by CIVIS, already taken place—marked an important first step in the Alliance's journey. Main objectives of EYAS ------------------------ - Bring together young people in the field of sports around a European federation project. - Train, debate and work on the place of young people and sport in Europe. - To give a voice to young people and structure European student representation. - Promote transnational democratic participation, cohesion and encounters. EYAS project launch seminar in Marseille ----------------------------------------- Do the values of sport mean a lot to you? Would you like to be more active as a citizen and as a young European? Join the EYAS project launch seminar. To have more weight, more opportunities, more visibility and more legitimacy, we need you, students from all over Europe, to help this project grow ! Check the seminar roadbook to get all the details on the programme and how to participate. [Click here to know more](https://civis.eu/storage/files/eyas-readbook-1.pdf) ### Practical information **When is the seminar?** The seminar was held from 18 to 20 April, in Aix-Marseille Université **How can I register or join the project?** Fill in [this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdDFAF8lQ0FqAN4-eNhR_yjVw6EACCxfidCnDqoYQJniT41KQ/viewform) to register if you are a student in one of our CIVIS Universities! **How much does this event cost?** It is completely free for students from the CIVIS alliance. For external students, the event remains open but at their own expense. ![](/storage/files/eyas-seminar.png) Our story can be yours to -------------------------- ### Need for youth representation The story of EYAS begins in February 2024, on the eve of the European elections. At that time, [ANESTAPS](https://anestaps.org/), the only representative organisation for students in the field of sports in France, found it essential to create a [position paper](https://drive.google.com/file/d/11NT0FjqT7ATyF8RgGSOucpsnoA9QrSfc/view?usp=drive_link). This document would reflect what young French people want for sports in Europe and could humbly influence European sports policies. The problem was that there was no youth sports structure at the European level to carry this position paper. ANESTAPS found itself in a difficult situation since it only represented French students and, therefore, could only convey a French perspective. ![](/storage/files/grand-oral-weas-loucharlot-small-24.jpeg)### A European experience With the help of its Spanish counterpart, [ANECAFYDE](https://www.anecafyde.com/fr), they decided together, on [February 9, 2024](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13eKXUbP7XhNlqclBfJigoKAMsIQiI_Du), at the European Parliament, to bring together 120 young people, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), and partners from the European sports world to create the first alliance of young people in sports in Europe: EYAS (European Youth Alliance in Sports field). This alliance's primary goal is to shed light on the need to consider young people and sports in political decision-making. Of course, it also provides more legitimacy to its advocacy efforts and the promotion of its position paper since it represents all students engaged in the field of sports across Europe. A manifesto calling for people to join the alliance was published on the same day. Now that this alliance has been created, EYAS's challenge is to find other national student federations in other European countries, as it currently only represents two countries: Spain and France. Over the six months following the alliance's creation, the focus has been on identifying counterparts in other nations. A significant effort in research, networking, and outreach, supported by the entire European sports ecosystem, has been undertaken. Check EYAS' 2024 position paper: [**Physical activity and sport to meet the European challenges of today and tomorrow.**](https://civis.eu/storage/files/position-paper-2024.pdf) ### A CIVIS Student-led project to boost EYAS Faced with the growing challenge of finding counterparts, EYAS has turned to European university alliances. These alliances enable EYAS to connect with students from across Europe without necessarily relying on external organizations. Furthermore, these alliances provide an institutional framework, financial support, and valuable contacts. This is the case with CIVIS, an alliance with which EYAS continues to collaborate today, in the context of the Student-led projects initiative. Regardless of their background or age, any student engaged in the field of sports and motivated to work on democratic, civic, and sports-related issues **was welcomed in Marseille for the EYAS launch seminar, from April 18–20, 2025**. During the seminar participants **debated, trained, and defined** the role they wanted sports and youth to play in Europe.
