International Conferences

International Sessions

There are multiple International Conferences per year. Every year, there are 3 International Sessions that serve as the flagship events of our organisation and are organised in collaboration with the German Schwarzkopf Stiftung in Berlin. There are between 250 to 350 participants present, coming from 40 different countries. The International Conferences last around 9 days, and are full of debating and cultural activities. You can attend an International Conference after being selected during a National Conference.

International Forums

Besides the 3 flaghsip International Conferences, there are more international conferences (often called International Forum) organised by different countries. For some of these, you can sign up yourself, instead of having to be selected.

These events are comparable to the International Sessions, but may be slightly smaller or deviate from the standard concept of a conference by the EYP.
