The Charlemagne Youth Prize is awarded annually to projects that foster a shared sense of European identity and integration among young people. "Europe & Me", a UK on line lifestyle magazine for young Europeans, has been the winner first prize at the Charlemagne Youth Prize 2011. The second prize went to "Balkans Beyond Borders", a short-film project (Greece) and the third to the "Escena Erasmus Project" (Spain), a cultural exchange programme for Erasmus students. 

“Europe & Me” project is an UK on line lifestyle magazine created by young Europeans for young Europeans in 2007. It is a platform that allows people to take the initiative, develop themselves and find like-minded individuals. Its motto is to "make Europe personal", because Europe is often identified only with politics and bureaucracy. EP President Jerzy Buzek stated at the Awards Ceremony that the project is extremely original. On its website, there is an ideal European "Man" or "Woman" divided into five different parts: the brain, the heart, the diaphragm, the baby and the legs and each part represents a different idea of what being "European" means.

The second prize was awarded to the Greek project "Balkans Beyond Borders" which promotes shooting short films on the crisis and the third prize was to the Spanish project "Escena Erasmus Project". This is a pioneering European project addressed mainly to Erasmus students, encouraging cultural and linguistic exchanges. It is intended to become a theatrical "net" which promotes exchanges among European university theatre companies.

The three winning projects will receive funding of €5,000, €3,000, and €2,000 respectively. Their representatives will also be invited to visit the European Parliament in the coming months. This prize is awarded jointly and annually by the European Parliament and the Foundation of the International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen to people between 16 and 30 years old.
