Highlights

Team Building:

The purpose of this first part is to build well-functioning committees, based on mutual respect, sharing and trust. The young parliamentarians will get involved in various creative or cultural activities and sports to form a future working group.

The committee work:

The young parliamentarians are divided into committees to discuss a topical issue on Europe. The objective of this activity is to draft a resolution on the given topic. The draft resolution will be discussed during the General Assembly.

The General Assembly:

All participants take part in the plenary session. Each committee presents and defends their resolutions which are then debated by the Assembly. At the end of each debate, the young parliamentarians are called upon to vote. All resolutions are afterwards sent, for information, to the European Parliament, the French government and other institutions. Although the EYP discusses significant issues on the EU agenda, its main aim is not the exercise of political influence, but the offering of a unique educational experience to participants.

Social and cultural events:

Many events are organized to facilitate mutual acquaintance and the discovery of the cultures of other EU countries. Eurovillage is an opportunity to showcase the culinary specialties of an EU country. Trips and visits are also organized to enable participants to discover the local heritage and enjoy the cultural offerings of the hosting city.
