Youth Summit

Youth Summits are 4-day conferences for university students and young adults who are 18+ years old. With the Youth Summit being one of our major events that usually take place in the Summer, it usually welcomes approximately 100 participants from all over Cyprus and all over Europe. The conference allows participants to discuss amongst teams, but also with experts and high profile decision makers, topics that Cyprus and Europe currently face. The event and its activities help participants develop invaluable skills both for their studies and early careers. Through Teambuilding activities, Committee Work where teams discuss various important topics, their opinions and suggestions as well as through a General Assembly, participants develop their teamwork, cooperation, communication and public speaking skills. If you are interested in participating in the next Youth Summit, get in touch with with our HR officer at members@eypcyprus.com to find out more information.

Session Program

Teambuilding

Team building in the context of the European Youth Parliament, means communication training, focused on group dynamics. The fundamental purpose of team building is to get a disparate group of individuals working as a team, through a series of physical, theoretical and problem-solving activities. Under the guidance of their committee Chairperson, the delegates will participate in a series of group dynamic exercises and problem-solving tasks, in order to get to know each other and begin functioning as a group.

Committee Work

This is the central part of any EYP session. After team-building, the delegates come together to discuss their allocated topics, and will explore the skills needed to discuss, debate and communicate effectively within their committee. The goal of Committee work is the production of a strong and meaningful resolution, that will be debated upon during the General Assembly.

Discussing Europe

Discussing Europe has been established as an annual happening at our sessions - an event welcoming various guests in a panel discussion centred around the session theme. During this event, participants have the opportunity to interact with professionals with expertise in the field, as well as experienced political figures.Discussing Europe has been established as an annual happening at our sessions - an event welcoming various guests in a panel discussion centred around the session theme.

General Assembly

The General Assembly reunites all the participants of the session to consider the results of committee work. Each committee presents and defends their motion for a resolution, which is then debated according to the current model of the European Parliament.
