About Us
The European Youth Parliament Czech Republic (EYP CZ) is a student educational organisation founded in 1998 as one of 40 sister organisations in a pan-European project European Youth Parliament (EYP) under the auspices of the Schwarzkopf-Stiftung Junges Europa foundation. For more than 20 years, we have been inspiring young Europeans towards active citizenship, engaging them in discussions with their peers from other cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, but also with decision-makers, thus representing one of the largest platforms for extracurricular education in the Czech Republic and in Europe.
For our activities, we were awarded the European Charlemagne Youth Prize in the years 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020.
