13.04.2012

The president of Estonia, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, will support the Tallinn 2012 EYP jubilee session with his patronage.

At the end of July, around 290 young people from more than 30 different European countries will gather in Tallinn to debate on topics which are important for Estonia and Europe under the guidance of experts and committee chairpersons.

The main theme of the 70th EYP session is water and its role in our everyday lives. The discussion will cover both problems with water supply and pollution and water protection in general. The resolutions that pass at the General Assembly will be sent to the European Commission after the session.

Estonia has the honour to host EYP international session for the second time, the first successful event being held in Tallinn in 2003. Mr Toomas Hendrik Ilves will make his address to the session participants during the Opening Ceremony.

During the lead-up to the session, Estonian secondary schools are participating in a voluntary environment workshop. In this hour, facilitators of EYP Estonia discuss world-wide water pollution issues and help youngster see the link between everyday consumption and their personal water footprint.

The 70th International Session of EYP in Tallinn is organized by MTÜ Tegusad Eesti Noored (EYP Estonia).
