The biggest meeting of the European Network of Youth Cancer Survivors kicks off in Romania!

Our excitement levels are going through the roof as we prepare for the grand finale of our EU-CAYAS-NET project: the European Network of Youth Cancer Survivors Closing Event!

Young people from all over the continent will be joining us in Cluj-Napoca, Romania’s second-largest city, known as ‘The Heart of Transylvania’, from August 7 to 12, 2024.

The event is organised by Youth Cancer Europe, in collaboration with the project Associated Partner and Cluj-Napoca-based organisation, Asociația Little People Romania. The much-awaited Closing Event brings together all project participants, associated partners, and people living with and beyond cancer from a record 32 countries to celebrate the accomplishments of the two-year EU co-funded project.

The program will feature networking events and workshops aimed at exchanging knowledge and showcasing project outcomes. Topics covered will include Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer care, Mental Health, Quality of Life, Cancer Survivorship, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) in cancer care, and more.

To top it all off, our attendees have also been invited along to UNTOLD, one of Eastern Europe’s biggest music festivals, as part of the activities organised by YCE to celebrate this milestone occasion – including exclusive meet & greets with some of the festival’s headline acts, which will ​​offer young people the unique chance to go backstage, meet, talk, and engage with the artists.

Let’s celebrate two years of hard work, dedication, and incredible achievements!
