»FLOWING BEYOND LIMITS«
We want to challenge our participants to broaden their horizons and transcend apparent boundaries – be it personal, cultural or geographical.
At each of our sessions we focus on the importance of good international relations, especially at a time when we are facing many pressing issues that are not limited by national borders – they are European and global.
Emphasis on sustainable development
The young volunteers of our association are great advocates of working on sustainable development of the society in which we live in. During the 94th International Session of the European Youth Parliament – Ljubljana 2021, we focused on several specific goals of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals:
General accessibility of education
Our project was open to young people from different socio-economic backgrounds from 40 different European countries. We also made a special effort to include young people from deprived communities in the project.
Gender equality
All our events are based on equal representation of genders, which we ensure already during the selection of volunteers and participants.
Environmental protection
We want to continue the culture of Ljubljana as the European Green Capital of 2016. Thus, our entire strategy will be based on the use of environmentally friendly materials and minimising the carbon footprint of our participants during their stay in Ljubljana. From the moment the participants arrive, we will cover practically all distances between different venues on foot or by using public transport.
Partnership
As already mentioned, we believe that we can achieve the most together – through local and international cooperation.
