European Youth Campaign

European Youth Campaign

The European Youth Campaign (EYC) - active in the 1950's - was an organization funded by the American Committee on United Europe (a CIA front), and was created mainly as a response to the Comintern in Eastern Europe. Note that EYC is not connected to the Young European Movement which is part of the European Movement. [ [http://www.dango.bham.ac.uk/record_details.asp?id=3644&recordType=ngo DANGO] Database of Archives of Non Governmental Organizations]

The EYC worked to promote a pro-European attitude amongst European youth, and conducted "a massive propaganda campaign of conferences and exhibitions, cinema shows, radio broadcasts and a large array of publications".
