EYP projects win the national Charlemagne Youth Prize 2023

Several projects from the European Youth Parliament National Committees have won their national nominations for the Charlemagne Youth Prize, also in 2023.

The Charlemagne Youth Prize is a prestigious award that recognises the best youth projects across Europe. This year’s national nominations for the prize were also won by five EYP projects from Finland, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg, and Slovenia. The projects aimed to raise awareness and promote intercultural dialogue among young Europeans. This marks another year of the Charlemagne Youth Prize recognising the activities of our network across Europe and we want to congratulate all of the volunteers and supporters that made it happen.

We look forward to the award ceremony in Aachen in May, where the overall winner of the Charlemagne Youth Prize will be announced. You can read more about the Charlemagne Youth Prize, the Award Ceremony, and the specific projects at the link below.
