Lublin is the first ever Polish city to bear the title of the European Youth Capital. In the contest organized by the European Youth Forum, the city of Lublin was awarded for its energy and inspirational ideas for young people.

“The final application was a result of several months of work, conversations, exchange of inspirations and ideas of a team that was strongly and professionally engaged in this important project (…). This consultation process itself introduces positive changes and new opportunities, encourages active participation, promotes volunteering, enhances diversity and integration, gives a boost to youth organizations and connects young people,” said Deputy Mayor of Lublin Beata Stepaniuk – Kuśmierzak.
