The European Youth Parliament (EYP)-Germany is one of over 32 committees of the European Youth Parliament International, the European umbrella organization of our organisation. Since 1990 we offer young people between 16 and 22 years of age the opportunity to express their opinion concerning European political topics. Our non-profit, all-party and independent organization unites the citizens of tomorrow. We give them the possibility to exchange their ideas concerning the present and the future of their continent.

On the one hand, we have been organizing an annual school competition, the “National Selection Conference”, since 1990. Over 600 pupils from more than 70 schools across Germany take part in the first round of our national selection. 12 schools continue to the second round – the “National Selection Conference”. In the course of the conference, culminating in a parliamentary debate, a prominent jury selects two delegations to represent Germany at the EYP International Sessions.

On the other hand, we give pupils the opportunity to take part in our “European Forums”. Up to 150 young people from all over Europe or from specific regions within Europe gather at these forums to discuss current European issues. Unlike the National Selection procedure, European Forums do not require a selection and thus lack the stress of competition.
