Be part of the European Year of Skills Festival

Fantastic stories of people who received training and improved their life conditions are everywhere around Europe. These stories inspire other people to enrol in training opportunities.

Are you part of one of these great stories? Do you know about projects that trained citizens with skills that changed their futures?

The European Year of Skills wants to hear your experiences and let you take part in the European Year of Skills Festival on 9 May 2023.

Some selected video stories will be showcased during the Festival on 9 May and promoted in the European Year of Skills Website.

How to participate

• Post your video with your story on a Twitter account with the hashtag #EuropeanYearOfSkills.
