| Each year the UK hosts
14 Regional Selection Forums in venues across the UK including the
Foreign Office, the Welsh National Assembly and various city and county
councils.
Students are invited to debate a range of contemporary European
issues taking in some continents most pressing cultural, political,
economic and international concerns. From the new terrorist threat
to the role of arts projects in rebuilding communities, the EYP
gives young people the opportunity to propose solutions and engage
in dialogues across barriers.
Each forum attracts a range of schools from the area, as well as
representatives of national government, MEPs and our other institutional
partners. One school is selected to represent the region in the
National Session where delegations are selected to represent the
UK at international level. This is an opportunity for a team of
students from year 12 to meet others from your region in the one
day event, and debate current European and global issues. It offers
a team of your students the chance to develop their skills of democratic
participation as well as building on their other skills.
