The EU Action Forum IVY 2026 Launch Event aims to bring together key EU stakeholders, decision-makers, and partners to reaffirm the EU’s commitment to volunteering rooted in EU values, thriving democracies, and citizen engagement.

• Raise awareness at the EU level about IVY2026 and its global objectives.
• Gather key EU stakeholders at the start of IVY2026 to ensure an integrated European contribution.
• Highlight volunteering grounded in EU values as an essential component for thriving democracies and the achievement of the SDGs.
