European Youth Card Association (EYCA)

The European Youth Card Association promotes youth mobility and information for young people up to the age of 26 through the issuing of the EURO<26 cards.

The EURO<26 youth card is a key for young Europeans to information, mobility, culture and participation. Through a range of services, discounts and advantages, the EURO<26 card encourages young people to make informed life choices, explore their world, and play a full part as citizens of Europe in today's society.

The European Youth Card Association (EYCA) represents 62 youth card organizations, in 41 European countries, issuing EURO<26 youth cards to over 4.3 million young people aged under 26.

EYCA was founded in 1987. The EYCA Office is based in Bratislava, Slovakia.

EURO<26 youth cards provide young people with youth information through different channels: annual guides, magazines, newsletters, and helpdesks. In their communication the EURO<26 cards underpin the European dimension of young people's lives and the European opportunities available. Projects such as Youth Builds Europe, EYCAdemy, and Europe for a Change seek to engage young people themselves in the creation of media, campaigns and research tools to further disseminate information.
