The Hague 2025 - 101st International Session of the European Youth Parliament

We are happy to partner up with the Benelux Union and Parliament again! In collaboration with European Youth Parliament the Netherlands over the past years, this organisation has demonstrated real interest in and commitment to young voices in politics. Their support helps us engage European youth to the civic society in a program of cultural exchange and diplomatic dialogue.

Our #website is live! eyp.nl/this25 will be the online information hub for participants and partners of the International Conference. You can now find the key numbers, theme pillars and primary venues of the event on the website, and much more content will be added as our preparations continue: academic topic overviews for participants to study, organisational announcements on the program and travel plans, media output during and after the event, and much more! The Hague 2025 is a week-long conference about #peace and #security, organised for young Europeans, by young Europeans. The program consists of teambuilding activities, problem-solving work in committees and plenary debates in general assembly. If you are curious about the event and want to reach out to specific project managers, their email addresses are on thehague2025.eyp.nl/team too.

The Hague 2025 is organised for young people, by young people. The entire event is planned, designed and fundraised for by a core team of #project #managers, who have been on board for a month and will be responsible for the successful execution next April. In less than a year, European Youth Parliament the Netherlands brings together 300+ young Europeans together in The Hague 2025 for a week of #PoliticalDialogue and #CulturalExchange around the themes of peace and security. All aspects of the conference are managed by #volunteers, from host venues to participant support, and from finances to public relations. Project leaders Bente Presse and Yu Vos have been joined by a set of very experienced volunteers from the European Youth Parliament (EYP) network, based in the Netherlands and abroad. Each individual brings a strong skillset and unique vision, and takes responsibility over a specific portfolio. Reach out to them if you or your organisation want to contribute to this project, turning The Hague in a week-long hub of youth visions of #peace and #security!

From 3 to 13 April 2025, the European Youth Parliament (EYP) will hold its 101st International Session in The Hague. For more than a week, 300 young people from across the continent will gather in the diplomatic hub of #peace and justice. In committee meetings and plenary debates, they will discuss solutions to issues of #security, peace and #democracy. The conference takes place 80 years after the end of World War II and will therefore be dedicated to commemoration and reflection on peace and security. Within the theme "young visions of peace and security", the participants will work in groups on political issues around #defence, democracy and #economy. In addition, the programme includes visits to ministries, embassies and other government institutions, as well as diplomatic and professional training. The event is organised entirely by a team of dozens of #young #volunteers, and further fully depends on financial support from commercial and public bodies. As partners of The Hague 2025, companies and organisations can propose debate topics and build brand awareness among a large group of young Europeans. The European Youth Parliament (EYP) is an international network of 25,000 politically engaged young people in 35 countries. Its 400 annual conferences aim to inform and inspire a young generation of open-minded, responsible and active citizens. The organisation enjoys the patronship of Ursula von der Leyen and Roberta Metsola, the Presidents of the European Commission and the European Parliament respectively. The European Youth Parliament the Netherlands previously successfully organised an International Conference in Rotterdam with the support of Prof Dr Jan Peter Balkenende and Drs Frans van Houten. A year from now, The Hague will not only be the international capital of peace and justice, but also a week-long hub of young visions for a peaceful future of Europe.
