Introduction | EYP Switzerland | EYP International
In Switzerland, the European Youth Parliament is represented for 15 years now with its own National Committee. EYP Switzerland organises a National Selection Conference every year, where the participating Delegations can qualify for other EYP sessions taking place all over Europe. In 2012, four Regional Sessions will take place for the first time, and in 2013, EYP Switzerland will have the honour of hosting its third International Session in Zurich, where over 250 participants from all over Europe will take part. On a national level, we also organise trainings (such as a communication training conducted by a professional trainer or an academic training on European politics) for our members, as well as socialising events.
EYP Switzerland is an association in compliance with articles 60ff. of the Swiss Civil Code. Its activities are independent of external political, commercial and financial interests, and all members contribute as volunteers only.
The daily affairs as well as the strategic planning lie in the hands of the Board of EYP Switzerland. Its eight members are elected on a yearly basis through the General Assembly, the organisation’s yearly constitutive event for all members.
As our association is entirely volunteer-run, we depend on the support of public and private institutions. Find a list of our partners here.
