Youth Cancer Europe

A European community led by young people living with and beyond cancer, working to improve the lives of those diagnosed 🎗️

[European Youth Cancer Network (YARN) @youthcancereu]

We asked members of @youthcancereu’s Youth Council about the cancer stereotypes and misconceptions they’ve encountered firsthand. Here’s what they said!

We took a microphone to Sziget Festival and asked some unexpected questions…🎤

The answers? Everything from boobs and balls to Metallica, plus some things worth thinking about long after the music stops.

Ausrine brings lived experience and her perspective as a psychologist to the Youth Cancer Council.

Through the @youthcancereu project, she hopes to make support during and after cancer more responsive to young people’s needs.

Music, dancing, questionable festival decisions… and cancer awareness? 🎸

Who says conversations about cancer belong only in hospitals or conference rooms?

We brought ours to @szigetofficial, right into the festival chaos!

How can we make inclusion part of everyday cancer care?

At @myESMO Congress in Madrid, @CancerEurope and EONS brought healthcare professionals & patient advocates together for a @youthcancereu workshop on developing practical tools to adress this issue.

Cancer awareness has an audience problem. And healthcare cannot solve it alone.

Representing @CancerEurope at @myESMO Congress in Madrid, Katie Rizvi and Nataly Hrad contributed to the ESMO-EONS collaborative session on reducing diagnostic delay in young people under 40.

What can the Youth Council help achieve?

For Andrea, it’s about creating the change she wishes had existed when she was diagnosed as a teenager, 19 years ago.

This week, our team is at the @strong_AYA General Assembly, with Ana, Erik and Tomaz taking part as members of the Patient Advisory Board (PAB).

Good to be in Warsaw, exchanging ideas, asking questions and helping shape the next steps together. 💜

Life is possible after cancer. And Olga from Ukraine knows this first-hand.

Diagnosed with thyroid cancer two years ago and breast cancer one year later, Olga is now in remission. This summer, she joined us at @szigetfestival for the @youthcancereu Youth Council meeting.

82 young people. 30 countries. One very difficult photo to fit into a frame.
Different flags, languages and experiences. One shared determination to make life better for young people living with and beyond cancer.

This is @youthcancereu Cancer Network at Sziget Festival Official

Thank you for taking the time to meet the @youthcancereu community at @szigetofficial, @Naikamusic. Here’s to finding common ground in music, stories and the things that connect us. 🧶✨

This week in Budapest, young people from 30 countries came together to question, challenge, share ideas and help shape YARN’s work for the years ahead. Working by day. Sziget by night.
