The EYP network engages more than 35,000 young people in its activities annually (2019), making its events and forums a hub for intercultural understanding, active citizenship, and cross-border friendships – as well as acquiring skills related to political education, self-assessment, and actively shaping society around them.
Our 35th anniversary will be an occasion to celebrate volunteering, the EYP’s journey of becoming one of the largest and enduring European youth networks, and the paramount importance of creating a peaceful, safe and united Europe.
The EYP is celebrating the growth it has been through, the connections people have made, and the immense impact it had on young Europeans over more than three decades.
You can join the EYP35 festivities in various ways:

PBM#5 Report

As with all PBMs, a report has been compiled to inform our Members of the subjects talked about there, as well as the results of modules that will have a concrete impact on the organisation. So make sure to check out the report of PBM#5 to get an insight into the happenings of the Board and EYP Austria at large! Most notably, the Board discussed changes to the Membership Policy, the course of action during the Board term so far, findings of the HR summit, and preparation for the end of the current Board term.

EYP on Ski took place on Präbichl
/in NewsFrom 4 to 6 March, EYP on Ski finally took place again this year. The long-running socialising event of EYP Austria was held in 2022 under strict COVID-19 rules – which reduced the number of participants, but not the fun. So seven skiing-enthusiastic EYPers rented two huts at Präbichl and made the slopes unsafe for the weekend. In the evenings, bombs were defused, twerk skills were performed, and the traditional “Schischuhschnitzelklopfen“ was celebrated. The Head-Organisers would like to thank all participants for the wonderful weekend and are already looking forward to next year!
