Through "Outreach Events" the EYP also tries to include socially disadvantaged young people. In Germany, for example, the Deutsche Telekom supports initiatives of the EYP to achieve this aim.

In Schwerin, an EYP Outreach event was just recently concluded which also included young people who are often not involved in European youth projects. See here.

 

Thorbjørn Jagland, Secetary General of the Council of Europe, has granted patronage to all sessions of the European Youth Parliament.

The European Youth Parliament is a unique place for intercultural dialogue.

Jerzy Buzek, President of the European Parliament, is the patron of all activities of the EYP.

The European Youth Parliament brings together young people from 33 European countries. At more than 80 sessions per year, we debate and discuss hot topics of the European agenda. The EYP represents a unique platform for active European citizenship for young people.
