YEPP 2025: Advancing Youth Engagement, Sustainability, and Strengthening Capacity

2026-07-22

The Youth of the European People’s Party (YEPP), established in 1997, unites 63 center-right youth organizations across 39 countries with a shared mission to empower the youth to influence European policymakers and promote active citizenship. Rooted in values such as democracy, human dignity, inclusivity, and social responsibility, YEPP equips the next generation to lead and strengthen the European Union. In 2025, YEPP will focus on expanding initiatives that develop leadership skills, enhance youth engagement, and foster connections with high-level European officials. Key efforts include organizing training sessions, facilitating visits with young delegates to the European Parliament, and hosting a transatlantic summit to encourage dialogue and cooperation between young Europeans and Americans. The launch of a podcast will provide a platform for addressing vital issues like mental health, digitalization, and intergenerational fairness, while offering young professionals new opportunities for growth. Through innovative communication campaigns, policy discussions, and capacity-building activities, YEPP continues to inspire active participation, ensuring young voices are at the forefront of shaping Europe’s future.
