In February this year, Zaver (U6J2) won the Regional Round of the European Youth Parliament (EYP), and was selected for the EYP National Finals which took place in August.

We are proud to share that following Zaver’s exceptional performance in the Regional session; he was selected to represent England at the Lempäälä 2021 Digital Regional Session of EYP Finland.

Zaver had this to say about his experience: “Taking part in the Lempäälä European Youth Parliament session provided me with a great opportunity to discuss some of the most pressing issues of our time with students from an array of backgrounds. I was able to broaden my understanding of the world and meet fellow students from all over Europe. The chance to explore my opinions and ideas in a diverse and challenging environment was extremely valuable.

“Throughout the session, I was involved in meaningful debates focused on current socio-political issues. Debating topics ranging from environmental and energy questions to the refugee crisis, border control, and surveillance and so much more furthered my interest in worldwide issues. Collaborating with others in order to shape the debate about the future of our society allowed me to develop some great friendships along the way. This experience is one I will cherish.”
