''Over the past few years I have received so much from EYP.
Every session has taught me something. Every new encounter, every obstacle that has been surpassed, every funny, sad, ecstatic, exhausting moment that I have encountered, have been a life changing experience.
I have been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to help give others the chance to experience what I have, and I hope to continue to do so.

''Many people have asked me why I decided to take a second go at being on the National Board. The answer is that I really don't know.

There are things you just feel, and I felt I was still needed, that the association still needed me. Not because of who I am but because of what I can do and how I can help.

Kennedy had got it right, when he said 'ask not what...' Well, you know the rest, I guess.''

The celebrations for the 60 years of the Rome Treaties have officially begun on 17 of March at the Italian Chamber of Deputies.

Many important guests were present and there was a long plenary discussion between the presidents of the low chambers of the parliaments of all Member States and also members of the European Parliament.

Our Secretary Joshua Giovanni Honeycutt Balduzzi represented the Italian National Committee of the European Youth Parliament while our President Paride Prati was interviewed by Rai Radio 1.

Our Understanding Europe Team is growing!

At two mini-T4UET (Training for Understanding Europe Trainer) in Pordenone and Pisa, new tutors were trained on the basics of the UE Crash Course.
Participants now join the group of tutors and are ready to deliver courses on the European Union in schools of the whole country!

We are sure she will do a great work!
