EYP COUNCILS Your chance to become involved in developing EYP further! GENERAL INFORMATION EYP Councils play an essential role in the development of EYP on the European level, allowing more alumni to contribute. Each Council works on a specific area and with a specific set of objectives. The Councils report to the Governing Body (GB) and work in close connection with the International Office. Each Council elects a Chairperson and will have a GB member working with them. The Councils are largely free to shape their own work according to the interests of their members. There exists some specific tasks, but in general the Councils are an excellent opportunity to shape the development of the EYP on the European level! Being a member of a council means you can dedicate 3-4h every week to work on concrete tasks of the Council.
