EUROPEAN YOUTH PARLIAMENT


Last Saturday, 2nd February 2013, 8 students of 4th ESO from our school took part in the Ga Day Girona organised by the European Youth Parliament. They were the Committee on Environment, Public Health and food Safety (ENVI) and had to defend their proposals in this issue.
Andreu Sabater, Amaia Bilbao, Néstor Álvarez, Rocío Sciacca, Lluc Huguet, Carla Santiago, Andrea Franch i Maria Campo were the members of this Committee.
The EYP represents a non-partisan and independent educational project which is tailored specifically to the needs of the young European citizen.
The EYP encourages independent thinking and socio-political initiative in young people and facilitates the learning of crucial social and professional skills. Since its inauguration, many tens of thousands of young people have taken part in regional, national and international sessions, formed friendships and made international contacts across and beyond borders. The EYP has thus made a vital contribution towards uniting Europe.
Today the EYP is one of the largest European platforms for political debate, intercultural encounters, political educational work and the exchange of ideas among young people in Europe. The EYP consists of a network of 35 European associations and organisations in which thousands of young people are active in a voluntary capacity.
