European Youth Campaign

The European Youth Campaign (EYC) - active in the 1950s - 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.[1]

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".[2]
