The Euro<26 youth card offers great discounts for young people across Europe. But it is more than just a discount card. It is the key for young Europeans to information, mobility, culture and participation. Through a range of services, discounts and advantages, the Euro<26 card encourages young people under 26 to make informed life choices, explore their world, and play a full part as citizens of Europe in today's society.
The Euro<26 card is the only one for all young people under 26, regardless of whether they are students, working, unemployed, parents, or trainees. And they are affordable - reflecting the economy of each country, they start at 3 euro - with add-on services like help lines, magazines, and youth information services included in the price.
In total, 58 Euro<26 organisations are issuing cards in 35 countries, and they are all members of the European Youth Card Association (EYCA).
EYCA promotes and develops the Euro<26 ideal, supporting member organisations and promoting pan-European activities. EYCA encourages all youth cards to give young people improved access to transport, accommodation, leisure activities, culture, sports - indeed, any benefits and services which encourage their development, their mobility, and improve the quality of their lives.
Each EYCA member arranges discounts, advantages, services and information in their own country for their young cardholders. The Euro<26 logo ensures that these discounts are automatically accessible to all cardholders throughout Europe. There are currently about 100,000 advantages including:
- Culture: theatres, cinemas, concerts, museums, events.
- Transport: buses, trains, ferries, air travel
- Travel: accommodation, holidays, travel, language courses
- Services: insurance, helplines
- Shops: CDs, books and a variety of goods
All of these, combined with youth information mean that the Euro<26 card is opening doors for young people across the continent.
