30,000 visitors on first competition day: EuroSkills Herning 2025 off to a strong start

EuroSkills Herning 2025 kicked off its first official day with around 30,000 visitors.

The halls were buzzing with families, friends, and proud supporters cheering on the young talents. Partners, industry professionals, and business representatives mingled with visitors from across Europe, who had travelled to Herning to experience the atmosphere and the many vocational disciplines.

Thousands of school students also packed the stands and competition areas, followed the contests up close, and tried their hand at the many “Try a Skill” activities.

Interest was high, with visitors soaking up knowledge across the trades. Expectations for the second competition day are high, and EuroSkills looks forward to welcoming even more visitors to the halls of MCH.
