Youth initiatives
Young people have a central role in shaping tomorrow’s Europe. That’s why we organise a range of initiatives around Europe intended to help you learn more about economics, central banking and the ECB’s responsibilities, and to give you the chance to share with us your views and ideas on the topics that interest and affect you.
Euro Video Challenge
What’s it like to visit the ECB for the first time? In 2017 we asked young Europeans to create a short, engaging video about economics in our Euro Video Challenge. A year later we invited the finalists to the ECB to let them experience economics first-hand.

Sendung mit der Maus
On 3 October 2018 around 150 fans of Germany’s well-known children’s show “Die Sendung mit der Maus” had a great time discovering the ECB as part of a country-wide “open doors” event. Children and their families took part in fun activities and learned about the ECB, the euro and the EU.
