We’ve all been there – the captive audience of a presenter who shows a long Powerpoint presentation, reads from hundreds of slides and at the end hauls out the classic phrase “I hope you don’t feel tired…!” This is invariably the same presenter who started the presentation with the dread words “I will try to […]

A platform to discuss current issues, a place to find friends for life, the perfect environment to develop yourself and to prepare for your future job and all kinds of life situations – these are just a few ways to describe the European Youth Parliament (EYP).
