What do others think of EYP

The EYP is an interesting meeting of young Europeans to discuss the future of the EU. It was professional in the way it was organized and open for a critical but constructive debate about the goals, the failures, the lessons and the successes of the European project – Boris van der Ham, MP, The Netherlands

We are proud to state that in general, our sessions are hugely succesful in reaching out to the young participants. In the session evaluations, for example, an overwhelming of participants felt that not only did they improve their knowledge of Europe and its politics while participating in EYP, but that the experience also boosted their personal development.

In detail, this is shown in the participants’ perception of having increased their ability to work in an international team (90% strongly believed so) and having gained life-long competences such as communication, language or participation skills (78%).
