What is PulseZ Week?
PulseZ Week is a celebration of youth-driven media and civic participation, connecting hundreds of young people across Europe through journalism, storytelling, and dialogue.
Organised by the PulseZ consortium partners with the support of institutional and corporate partners, the week unites young changemakers, educators, and media professionals to strengthen youth participation in Europe’s public sphere.
The initiative also collaborates closely with youth networks empowering young people to express their voice — including JA Alumni Europe, the Young European Ambassadors, Salon5, and the #EUinfluencers nominees.
