AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

The European Youth Parliament (EYP) is one of the largest pan-European platforms for raising awareness for European issues, intercultural dialogue and the promotion of active democratic citizenship among high school and university students in the 16-22 age group.

They develop political proposals and visions for a future Europe in international teamwork and discuss them in a plenary session in both English and French following a parliamentary procedure. The Session provides the delegates with a possibility to actively engage themselves in the moulding of their future European society by discovering each other’s similarities and differences in culture and opinions and by building on their participation, negotiation and diplomacy skills. This is how democracy, intercultural teamwork, European ideas and international understanding are experienced though non-formal education.

Session's aims are:

§ Engaging Ukrainian youth in the discussions and debates on topical problems of their regions and also on shared Ukrainian and European issues,

§ Confronting students with a democratic decision making process with all its challenges and advantages and to thereby contribute to active democratic citizenship development;

§ Providing Ukrainian youth with the experience of research, debate and process of democratic decision and policy making for regional, national and international political issues;

§ Contributing to the students’ personal development such as English language skills and the ability to work in an international team with foreign EYP-members chairing the committees;

§ Promoting and enabling inter-cultural dialogue such as getting to know others, developing a feeling for the diversity of cultures and opinions in Europe, respecting these differences and learning how to tolerate with different cultures.

We believe that youth in Ukrainian regions have fewer opportunities to get involved in the activities of international NGOs in general and the European Youth Parliament in particular, but what is even more important – to get a chance to debate and voice their own opinion regarding urgent domestic and international issues.
