Jean-Claude Juncker

The European Youth Parliament has been a forum for discussion and reflection for European youth on European policies for more than 20 years. In this way, they contribute to building tomorrow’s Europe. I wish them all continued success.

The participation of young people is like the sun for a tree, indispensable in a strong Europe. Be a part of EYP. Your future, your Europe!

I consider the EYP an ideal instrument for enhancing pan-European political education that at the same time provides language training and the development of knowledge and skills. As a counsellor for EU and Internationalisation at the local school authority in Styria, I advise all upper secondary schools in general and vocational education including vocational schools for apprentices to join the EYP programme and take part in their activities.

Young, highly committed people in intercultural cooperation. That is politics, society and economy – lived in a refreshing way. I was impressed by the energy and the positive approach to quite complex topics. Thank you for the inspiring exchange!

EYP doesn’t only mean getting new friends wherever you go, but also constantly being challenged to become better in every way. Apart from that, it means trying to find out what being European really means.

Europa Club Live: “Nicht ohne uns! Welche Ideen haben junge Menschen für Europa?” | 25 November

24 Nov 2021

COVID-19, the climate crisis or the financial crisis: all of these crises hit the youth particularly hard, cause changes and lead to turning points. This means that young Europeans are under particular pressure to show initiative and participate in politics. The book “30 Ideen für Europa” is a starting point for this, offering new ideas, suggestions and perspectives of young people.

How do we solve the public health crisis? What do we do against the climate crisis? How can we profit from digitalisation? What does “Europe” mean for the youth and how can young people actively shape its future?

As a part of the 30th anniversary of the Austrian Society for European Politics (ÖGfE), these questions will be discussed tomorrow, 25 November, at 13:00–14:00 CET. The event will be live-streamed on YouTube and Facebook.
