Dear young media makers, As we approach the end of 2024, the European Youth Press community is gearing up for one of our most important annual events—the 2024 General Assembly, taking place on November 9th and 10th in Brussels, Belgium. This gathering will bring together delegates from across Europe to discuss the future of our organisation, elect new leaders, and strategise for the year ahead. We are also thrilled to announce several exciting opportunities for those interested in shaping the future of EYP. The call is now open for applications for key positions on the Executive Board, Advisory Board, and as Internal Auditors. Additionally, we are welcoming applications from organisations eager to become Observer Members and those looking to transition to Full Member status. These roles offer a chance to work closely with like-minded young professionals, contribute to the development of European media, and ensure that youth voices continue to be heard across the continent. Joining the leadership of EYP is a rewarding way to make a meaningful impact, foster collaboration, and promote our shared mission of media freedom and inclusion. We look forward to seeing many of you in Brussels and to working together on the continued success of EYP! Happy reading, EYP Executive Board of European Youth Press |
