Dear interested Europeans!

The European Youth Parliament is meeting up in the German Town of Weimar from the 28th of August to the 2nd of September to add some young ideas to European politics. If you your are between the age of 16 and 22, are excited to meet young Europeans and are keen on exchanging ideas on European issues, you are perfect to join in.

What is the European Youth Parliament (EYP)?

For more than 20 years EYP is organising simulations of the European Parliament across all European countries. With each event, we promote intercultural dialog and offer young Europeans a platform to promote their ideas for the future.

What will I do there?

At the event itself, you will be representing your country and your own opinion. Firstly, you will be divided up into committees consisting of representatives from different countries. Together you will do a teambuilding in order to get to know each other, improve your communication and simply to have fun. Secondly, you will discuss a current European topic and gather your ideas and compromises by writing a resolution. Lastly, all committees will come together and debate all written resolutions. Ultimately agreeing on the common opinion of the European Youth Parliament. All approved resolutions are passed on to representatives of the real European Parliament. Furthermore the program includes expert hearings, country representations and evening activities in order to address the wishes of all participants.

Why is Europe meeting up in Weimar?

The - not only historically - important Weimar Triangle is turning 20. This FrenchPolish-German institution has the aim to forward the European cooperation and annually awards institutes which share this goal. You will take part in the award ceremony and discuss with the award winners, such as the goethe institut and alliance franais. As well, some of you are also going to reflect the achievements and discuss the Weimar Triangle's future chances during committee work, but there are also enough other interesting topics ;).

Sounds cool, but expensive! In order to offer everybody the chance to participate, we are happy to announce that there is no participation fee. Furthermore your travel costs can be reimbursed up to 100 Euros. Meals and accommodation are free of charge.
