The map of a city growing younger

The Squares for Europe
The routes
Parma EYC2027 is an open project. It is not a calendar. It is a movement. 12 pathways taking shape throughout the year: 4 Ways setting the direction and 8 Squares where the themes take shape.

The Squares for Europe
The 4 ways
Four directions guide the journey. The Ways of Transformation open the thematic cycles and focus on priorities: participation, well-being, sustainability, and living together in diversity

The Squares for Europe
The 8 squares
From vision to action. 8 thematic Squares become active spaces, hubs for discussion, and an intergenerational laboratory to shape a city designed with and for young people
