As a pre-event of European Rural Parliament (ERP), not less important, the second European Rural Youth Parliament will take place in Asturias (Spain) from 4 till 6 November 2019. More than 70 young professionals from around 10 countries will be gathering to state youths’ perspective on European Rural manifesto. Later, constructive discussions with European Parliament representatives will be held in Brussels.

The ERYP is a powerful platform of making youth opinions regarding rural development challenges heard in European level. The most urging issues will be identified and brought to the table to find solutions tackling them. All outcomes will have a strong foundation – diverse views from people representing different countries and fields.

Young professionals are invited to apply for the event starting from the beginning of August. The participation costs (travel, accommodation and program) for 6 people aged from 20 to 30 years from each organisers’ country will be covered. More information soon will be published in the ERP2019 web page.
