With the slogan "Shape it, move it, be it", this eighth edition of European Youth Week encourages young people from the 33 countries participating in the EU's Erasmus+ programme to get involved in the discussions on the future of EU youth policy, to move abroad with Erasmus+, and to be part of the newly launched European Solidarity Corps. The European Commission took the opportunity of this eighth European Youth Week to announced that a proposal for a dedicated legal base to consolidate and further shape the new European Solidarity Corps is scheduled for adoption on 24 May.
