Skills Development


 

For the many volunteers engaged in the organisation, the European Youth Parliament offers diverse opportunities for skills development, in particular through training and taking various roles within the organisation. Training is a key component of almost every EYP event, and we strive to hold a wide range of training events every year to ensure successful knowledge transfers. In order to support the personal development of the EYP’s volunteers and their ability to take up various roles and responsibilities within the organisation, the EYP organises capacity building training courses focused on a diverse set of skills, such as facilitation, leadership, communication, fundraising, organising, project management, inclusion, outreach, and intercultural dialogue. In doing so, the EYP prepares young European citizens not only to take an active role in our network, but to use these skills to benefit society as a whole.
