Below are just some of the many types of events that you can get involved in as part of the Youth Club. To find out more about each, and to register to be a part of the activities, register now for membership (it’s free).
- Seminars – Participate in special discussions with leading experts and young people from around the world on topical issues like human rights, corruption and transparency practices.
- Conferences – Every year, the Àrmonia Youth Club will organise the European Young Leaders Forum (EYLF). Held in Greece in July, the forum is an annual event which brings together young people from the Youth Club and other organisations to discuss issues affecting young people in Europe today. Participants will receive training in advocacy and then work with each other to develop an agenda to bring to the European Parliament and their own governments to bring positive change for young people across Europe today. Additionally, each year, a conference of members of the Youth Club is held in Greece in November / December to discuss plans for the next year of Youth Club activities, and to elect the new executive. This can be attended by distance / online.
- Summer Camps – The Youth Club will bring together members from across Europe and the world for occasional camps to build friendships and awareness of particular issues. Living together at the EPLO Guesthouse in the hidden, picturesque town of Legraina in Greece, members will make lifelong friends and learn about emerging challenges in their area of interest.
- Study Visits – As a member of the Youth Club, participants will have reduced-cost access to any seminar or study event run by the European Public Law Organization (EPLO). Additionally, EPLO resources will be available to members through the online platform, including EPLO publications, library and accommodation booking services.
- Debates – Through both the online platform and in-person, members of the Youth Club will be able to participate in debates on key topics affecting Europe and the world today. These will range from areas including climate change and the migration crisis to youth affairs, security and democratic participation. Make your voice heard!
- Simulations – Members will have the chance to participate in several simulations, both run by the Youth Club and as part of other events run by the EPLO. These include the Sounion International Model United Nations (SiMUN) and the model EU simulations run as part of the Astrolabe program (pending funding approval). Awareness Campaigns – Through programs like the EYLF and regular meetings of the members of the Youth Club, campaigns will be developed on key issues of interest to the club, including transparency and anti-corruption, human rights and international affairs. Members can get involved in their own community, online and through activities in different states.
