Youth events and conventions in Romania and Moldova

Overview

Youth-oriented events and conventions have been held across Romania and Moldova. An International Youth Convention in Oradea, Romania, organized by the Youth Department of the Romanian Union, focused on personal identity and spiritual discovery under the theme “Who are you?”. The event gathered participants from Romania and over thirty other countries for seminars and workshops covering mental health, addictions, medical wellness, nutrition, and interpersonal relationships.

Subsequent celebrations included “Youth Days” in Râmnicu Sărat, Romania, which featured sports competitions such as the Beach Volleyball Open and the ONIX Summer Cup, alongside cultural events and community development discussions. During this period, the municipality also launched a candidacy for the title of Romania’s Youth Capital 2028. In Bălți, Moldova, more than 1,500 young people gathered at Mihai Volontir Central Park to celebrate International Youth Day, with safety training provided by the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations.

In late August 2026, religious gatherings for youth continued in Romania. A religious gathering titled ‘My radiance is in Thee!’ was held in Câmpulung Moldovenesc from August 21 to 24, bringing together young people from Oradea, Iași, and Ukraine for prayer and community building. Following this, the Romanian Orthodox Church scheduled the International Meeting of Orthodox Youth (ITO) in Bucharest for August 31 to September 3, 2026. Centered on the theme ‘Young People, the Family and Life in Christ,’ the event expected approximately 2,400 participants for a program of conferences, workshops, and a concluding Holy Liturgy at the National Cathedral.
