European Youth Parliament

European Youth Parliament – Parlement Européen des Jeunes

At the European Youth Parliament (EYP) the delegations discuss various issues connected to Europe and its current political challenges. But the EYP is more than just a debate: It’s a way to make friends with students from all over Switzerland and Europe.

Every EYP Conference consists of three parts:
• Teambuilding: You get together with students you have never met before, so you get to know them first  with fun activities.
• Committee work: In every committee you discuss various topics and try to find a consensus.
• General Assembly: On the last day there is a big General Assembly where you present your ideas and discuss them formally with the other committees.

At the National Conference of EYP Switzerland (September) six students our school can form a delegation. There you will meet other participants from Swiss schools and the committee chairs from all over Europe. All the discussions will be in English or French, so a good opportunity to practise your language skills.
At the National Conference the best delegations are selected for the International Conferences and this might give you the opportunity to travel to interesting places anywhere in Europe and to meet delegations from almost every European country!

Are you interested in global issues and political challenges? Are you open-minded and like meeting other people? Do you enjoy working in a team? Are you fluent in English and/or French? Then EYP is the thing for you.
