European Youth Parliament

The European Youth Parliament is a peer-to-peer educational programme that inspires and empowers young people from across Europe to be open-minded, tolerant and active citizens. We provide participants with a forum to develop and express their opinions on a wide range of topics. By bringing young people from different backgrounds together, we build intercultural understanding and friendships across borders. EYP participants and volunteers get equipped with the knowledge and the skills needed to positively shape the world around them. Thousands of young people are actively involved as volunteers all over Europe, making the EYP a genuinely youth-driven programme – run by young people, for young people.

The EYP consists of a network of more than 40 European associations in which thousands of young people are active in a voluntary capacity. With its international, national and regional sessions it reaches out to over 30 000 young people all over Europe every year. The international umbrella organisation of the EYP is the Schwarzkopf Foundation.
