We are delighted to announce that Sixth Form student, Joy, has been selected to attend the Pordenone International Session – the 104th International Session of the European Youth Parliament (EYP) – in Italy next year.

Joy’s selection by the esteemed Jury team at Harmony 2025 is a testament to her exceptional hard work, enthusiasm and determination, which truly shone through during the selection process. This prestigious opportunity will see Joy join young leaders from across Europe in Pordenone, Italy, from March 21st to 29th, 2026.

The European Youth Parliament is a unique educational programme that brings together young people from all over Europe to discuss current political issues, develop innovative solutions, and foster international understanding. Delegates engage in parliamentary debates, committee work, and cultural exchange, providing an invaluable experience for personal and intellectual growth.

We are incredibly proud of Joy’s selection for the Pordenone International Session. This is a highly competitive and prestigious opportunity, and it speaks volumes about her dedication and capabilities. We have no doubt she will represent Birkdale and the UK with distinction.
