European Youth Parliament – Year 10 – Year 12
European Youth Parliament is an apolitical and non-partisan organisation with an educational spirit aimed at addressing the needs of European youth.
EYP is aimed at 15-24 year olds from all over Europe who are open, tolerant and active citizens. It is a forum for reflection and expression of their opinions on a wide range of topics from the world around them. It encourages independent thinking and socio-political initiative in young people to facilitate the learning of crucial social and professional skills.
Debates cover a wide range of topics, often related to international politics or human rights, but also including fields such as climate change, health and energy. Guided by peer moderators, young people take part in a series of activities, which give them the opportunity to build their knowledge on such topics and their ability to discuss them eloquently and passionately.
More than 30,000 young people, including 3,500 volunteers, take part in EYP events every year.
