Our Political Programme

A future of financial
stability

Support to housing, fighting Youth unemployment and easing access to the labour market are mandatory cornerstones to the future of the Youth. We fight for improving financial support to Young entrepreneurs and implementing labour market reforms to adapt to the evolving needs of the job market.

An equally accessible education that promotes excellence

Quality education should be a priority for political institutions. European exchange programmes must be strengthened and no Young European should leave studies due to economic or social constraints.

A clear path to phase-out of fossil fuels for a greener Europe

We foster a new regulatory framework to inceltivize innovation, research, and development towards an ambitious climate agenda. We encourage the implementation of all clean energy sources, including nuclear, with policies that put people over ideology.

Mental health care should not be a luxury

The Youth needs accessible mental health services, such as psychotherapy, counselling and helplines. Cyberbullying must not be tolerated and awareness must be raised to destigmatize Mental Health.

Rebuild Ukraine, protect freedom and support enlargement

YEPP urges institutions to speed up the preparation of Ukraine and Western Balkan's admission to the Union, and the necessary recovery plan to rebuild Kyiv. Enlargement will establish new partnerships to defend democracy, peace and spread EU values.
