24h Europe - The Next Generation is an encounter with the young generation of Europe , the so-called millennials . 67 young people between the ages of 18 and 30 from 26 countries were accompanied on one day in various corners of geographical Europe. Their perspectives were taken, their stories told and their different realities recorded on film.

The concept of the 24h series is to accompany the people portrayed by it throughout the day and to form a narrative based on the course of the day. The 24h begins at 6 a.m. and ends at 6 a.m. the following day. What is being broadcast at a certain time also happened at that time during the shooting.

In order to find the framework for the narrative, the major themes were identified for the generation being accompanied . They are u. a .: Mobility , ecology , new feminism, urbanization , political radicalization, youth unemployment . In addition to their personal story and charisma, each protagonist was chosen to represent one of these topics that are at the center of the European promise and debate.

More than 30 teams traveled to all European countries to research the film, interviewed possible participants and filmed them with their smartphones. The search for the protagonists took several months. After completing the research, everyone involved in the project sat together and selected the most suitable protagonists. Some of them were only confirmed shortly before the shooting day in June 2018.

It was the task of the teams to accompany their protagonists without imposing themselves or even staging. To ensure that all teams created their material in accordance with the concept and idea of ​​the film, there was a workshop in Berlin in May 2018, in which the golden rules for the directors, the cameramen and the production management were conveyed. For example, the teams had to shoot without additional light. Only handheld cameras were allowed, so no tripods. In addition, impressions were filmed that are characteristic of the place and its landscape. Since the format tells in real time , it requires a special style. Jumps in time or flashbacks, for example, are not possible here. Of the 48 camera teams, 16 teams accompanied two instead of just one protagonist.

The main day of shooting was Friday, June 15, 2018. On June 14 and 16, additional impressions from the protagonists' surroundings were shot.

260 team members were involved in filming in 26 countries across Europe. A total of 700 hours of material was created in 28 different languages ​​and dialects, all of which can be heard in the program.

A rough cut of one and a half to five hours was created for each protagonist . The editing took place in parallel for eight months in sometimes five editing rooms that worked in two shifts.

Arte offers 24h Europe - The Next Generation online in addition to German and French in English, Spanish, Polish and Italian, so that 70 percent of all Europeans will have access to this documentary in their mother tongue. In the German and French language versions of 24h Europe, there is also subtitling for the hearing impaired on Arte.
