In 2015, EYP Finland’s goal was to be more professional, visible and versatile. As a result, a record number of events were held, including the National Session in Turku, four Regional Sessions in Kauniainen, Kangasala, Kuopio and Kaarina, an extensive school tour together with Regional Committees, 23 parliamentary simulations in schools, Head Organisers’, Journalists’ and Chairs’ Trainings, and the first-ever Development Days (Järjestöpäivät). 14
In addition, several other events were organised together with the Regional Committees, including Summer Days, Alumni Weekend and Annual Ball. EYP Finland was also active in several projects related to the Finnish Parliament elections, and participated in Suomi Areena in cooperation with the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. All in all, we were represented in over 30 external events. However, the biggest push and event of the year was Tampere 2015 – 79th International Session of the European Youth Parliament.
