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.

We stand for … ! Europe’s youth in de CoFoE, what’s next? | 28 January

19 Jan 2022

As part of the Conference on the Future of Europe, the European Youth Card Association (EYCA) launched the Stand for Something campaign, which combined a large-scale online survey and street actions to get the voices and ideas of young people heard. The campaign was active across the continent with 22 activists from 17 countries and continues to advocate the positions of young people at all political levels.

In cooperation with the European Parliament and with the support of the Federal Youth Representation (Bundesjugendvertretung), the campaign results will be presented on Friday, 28 January, from 14:30 to 16:30. Pupils, students and young people are invited to discuss the findings together with Austrian MEPs.

Afterwards, we want to go further and debate what should happen after the Conference: How can we ensure that the ideas that have been expressed are actually pursued? What are the expectations of young people? What do the MEPs expect?

You can register for the online event here. Be there!
