The European Youth Parliament is an apolitical and non-partisan organisation with an educational spirit aimed at the needs of European youth. The EYP encourages young people to have critical and independent thinking mindsets and facilitates the learning of social and political skills, crucial in their future.

The beginning of every single EYPEr’s journey: the Regional Selection Conferences of EYP España. School delegations made up of six delegates aged 16 to 17 years old will debate an array of topics, ranging from euroscepticism to the struggle for LGBT rights to the future of the digital market and more issues related to our continent. Thirty participating schools in the fourteen regional sessions will be chosen by the jury to travel and participate in the National Session.
​
Since 1987, dozens of thousands of enthusiastic young people have participated in regional, national and international sessions, and have made friendships across Europe and contacts that cross borders.
​
Furthermore, the EYP has contributed to the development of the European unity and identity. Today, it is one of the largest platforms in terms of political debate, international meetings, learning and exchange of ideas among young people. It is formed by a network of 40 European associations and organisations resulting in thousands of young participants actively volunteering. The organisation carries around 200 events every year. It is a program carried out by the Schwarzkopf Foundation.
