The European Youth Parliament (EYP) Bosnia and Herzegovina is a full member of a non-partisan independent youth-led organization in Europe. European Youth Parliament BiH (EYP BiH) was founded in 2013 as part of the network of non-profit NGOs in 39 countries in Europe. Main goals of the organisation include raising awareness about current social, political and cultural issues, as well as promoting democracy and initiative among young people through informal and innovative education methods. Further, EYP BiH encourages its members to exchange knowledge with other young people all over Europe, through diverse activities and events, among which most significant are the 3 International Sessions annually.These sessions resemble working format of the European Parliament in Brussels and are supervised by the International EYP office in Berlin (www.eyp.org), supported by the Schwartzkopf Foundation. EYP BiH aims to successfully send delegations to the International Sessions; delegates will be chosen according to their English and skills, ability to work in teams and knowledge about current issues at a National Session, which simulates International Session in a shorter time frame. National Sessions will take place once a year with a strong international officials’ participation. EYP BiH is governed by the Board, consisted of 5 experienced members, lead by the President with four Vice-presidents. In addition to the national office in Sarajevo, EYP BiH has regional offices in Banja Luka, Mostar, Tuzla and Zenica.
