About the 96th International Conference of the EYP

This summer, the 96th International Conference of the European Youth Parliament took place in Riga, the capital of Latvia. The youth conference welcomed 200 participants from 40 European countries. It was an exceptional opportunity to discuss and combat the recent issues in the European Union by presenting their ideas and sharing solutions for a brighter future for all European citizens.

The European Youth Parliament is an international youth organization in 40 European countries. In addition, “TELLUS” is represented by the Latvian Youth organization, which constantly promotes the involvement of young people regarding important political and civic issues at a European and Latvian level.

The non-governmental organization’s objective is to offer young people a debate platform where they can practice their discussions on numerous issues that Europe faces.
