Press Hub

A place for the press – all information at a glance. We have set up this press portal to meet the demands of this fast-paced industry. Would you like to find out more about our association’s work in general? Do you need specific information about individual events for your research? Then you’ve come to the right place. Subdivided according to the individual sessions of the European Youth Parliament, you will find factual information in the form of press releases, press statements and press kits. If you need images for your reporting, take a look at our stock photos at the bottom of the page. Please note the legal information in this context. If you still have questions after reading the documents, please contact the contact person for the respective session. For general enquiries, please contact Ida Kessner, member of the Executive Board for Press and Public Relations.

„Am Freitag war Brückentag für die Schülerinnen und Schüler in Hamburg und Schleswig Holstein. Aber nicht für alle. Rund 130 Jugendliche debattierten über die Politik in Europa.

("Friday was a bridge day for schoolchildren in Hamburg and Schleswig Holstein. But not for everyone. Around 130 young people debated politics in Europe. As delegates of the European Youth Parliament, they simulated sessions like those of real parliamentarians in Strasbourg or Brussels – only for five days in Kiel.")

General Information

Since 1990, we at EJP have been offering young people between the ages of 15 and 25 a space to express their opinions on European issues and to make friends and contacts across Europe. In extended parliamentary simulations, we make European politics tangible and accessible in a non-partisan way.

  • Shaping politics in Europe
    Even though we have no political mandate, we want to have fun developing fresh ideas for our own continent. After all, it’s our own future at stake!
  • By young people for young people
    All our events are organised by young people on a voluntary basis. This is what makes our events so special and creates space for everyone to get involved.
  • Non-partisan and independent
    We do not have a political mandate, but are committed to political education. In doing so, we remain independent of political parties.
  • International network EYP
    The EJP is part of the umbrella organisation of the European Youth Parliament (EYP), a network that is currently represented and active in 40 European countries.

Resources

In addition to general information about our association's work, we would also like to inform you about individual events. The press materials are therefore available below, broken down by event. In addition to the usual press information and press releases, you will also find press kits that provide detailed insights and an overview of specific events.

 

We are delighted that you are interested in the National Selection Meeting in Karlsruhe. To conclude this year’s national selection process, around 150 young people from Germany and 20 European countries will gather in the city to discuss the overarching theme of ‘Strengthening the European rule of law, rethinking civil rights’. For more information, please take a look at the Press Booklet.
