The presidents of this year's EYP:
The presidents of this year's EYP are Oliver Knoll and Elina Weidemann, former students of Weber-School. Both of them are familiar faces at the EYP in Eutin: For Oliver, it is the second time to lead the session as president and in 2023, he and Elina participated as chairpersons of the SEDE committee.
The chairpersons of the committees
The chair-team consists of 12 persons, nine of them are current students of Weber-School. Although their final exams are close, they sacrificed their weekend to support the EYP as a chair person. Tom, who graduated in 2021 has already returned to EYP at Weber-School for the second time. Finally, there are our special guests from Italy who participated as delegates last year.

The EYP Media Team
Hello everyone! We are the Media Team of this years European Youth Parliament project! In the past two weeks, we have already been working intensively on the organisation of the event. For the next three days, our tasks involve photo and video coverage of the event, conducting exciting interviews and keeping you guys on track! You can find our work here on this website and on our official Instagram account.
The Hospitality Team
Like every year the Hospitality Team is responsible for delicious food and drinks. They prepare and serve with much effort and love. But not only this will be handled phenomenally, but also the social activities between the committee work phases, in these social activities the delegates have some fun and get to know each other. The Hospitality Team are the caretakers of the EYP, because they manage everything outside of the work phases!
