#WithRefugees

Empowering young refugees and local youth to learn, lead and grow together. 'WithRefugess opens doors to educational programmes, mentorships and other exciting opportunities across Europe

The European Youth Parliament (EYP) welcomes young people from all backgrounds across Europe. We want to reach out to youth from all cultures, regions and backgrounds, especially those who face difficulties joining our activities. Our goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where everyone can participate, learn and take responsibility.
Thanks to our partnership with the Ipsos Foundation and a cooperation with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), #WithRefugees helps young refugees and stateless people join our educational programs in 40 European countries.

Our Main Activities

  • Educational Programmes:

    Young refugees and local youth will participate in our educational programmes together, following EYP’s peer-to-peer methodology. At least three International Sessions and five national or regional events will be part of this initiative.

  • Research & Leadership:

    Young refugee participants of our programmes will discuss topics covering some of the most urgent issues facing the world, and Europe in particular. They will be part of working groups writing resolutions to these issues, including their suggestions for actions in answer to the topic’s questions.

  • Mentorship Programme:

    Young refugees get support from experienced people in our alumni network. We match mentors and mentees based on their interests and studies to help refugees build their careers and give them a head start in their country of residence.

Partnership with Ipsos Foundation

Ipsos Foundation helps our programme by sharing their expert knowledge during discussions, creating networking opportunities in 40 countries, and teaching participants about global business and market research.
