Youth European Parliament Training – Italy Trip

Youth European Parliament

During the Youth European Parliament (YEP) training in Italy, we at Mission Solidarity CY had the opportunity to share our work and present the case of Cyprus, discussing how policies affect refugees on the ground.

Our goal was to help young people interested in politics look beyond the numbers and understand how policies truly shape people’s everyday lives.

The training brought together 35 participants from Italy, Portugal, Cyprus, Turkey, Lithuania, Slovakia, and Bulgaria, fostering an inspiring exchange of ideas and perspectives.

Seeing their empathy and engagement gave us hope for a generation that values understanding, dialogue and solidarity.

Thank you to @prolocofoglianise for the opportunity.
