The Continental Conference of Kolping Youth Europe is going to take place in Cologne, Germany, from 2nd to 4th May 2025. The conference will take place during the Kolping Germany Jubilee (175 years of the Kolping Society) which will be celebrated by thousands of Kolping members in Cologne during this weekend. We are very happy to organize the event at the same time as the Continental Assembly of Kolping Europe, which gives us a great opportunity to spend time together.

The annual Continental Conference of Kolping Youth Europe will take place in Cologne (Germany) from 2^nd to 4^th of May 2025.  Each country is invited to send two delegates that represent their Kolping Youth at European level, discuss with delegates from other countries and vote about the future of Kolping Youth Europe.

The board of Kolping Youth Europe published its annual report 2023/2024 and presented it to the delegates of the Continental Conference in April 2024.

Would you like to see one of the brilliant outcome of the Youth Week 2024? Then check out this toolbox full of frutiful ideas for nature protection projects, gathered by the participants during a workshop at the Youth Week in Villach, Austria. Feel free to try out any of these ideas with your friends or local communities. Become a wildlife warrior too!

The European Youth Week brought together young participants from all over Europe to engage in activities around nature protection. Through a series of informative and hands-on experiences, participants gained a deeper understanding of biodiversity, practical skills in environmental conservation, and collaborative approaches to protecting our natural world.

It’s our actions that count! During the 72 hours campaign 2024, we collaborated with Asociația Kolping România to “make the world a better place”. Our international project focused on the importance of inclusion, especially for children with disabilities. See what we experienced in Timisoara with participants from 11 European countries!

From April 18-21, youth associations initiated thousands of projects within the 72 hours
campaign. These projects aimed to “make the world a better place”, and most of them
took place in Germany at local level. Kolping Youth Europe, however, connected 30
participants from 11 different countries in close collaboration with Kolping Romania. In
Timisoara, the group visited a daycare centre for children with disabilities, learned about
the importance of inclusion, and shared good practice examples of social projects.
