The European Youth Press (EYP) is an umbrella association of young media makers in Europe with more than 50.000 members. EYP organises numerous events for young journalists and promotes the role of youth media and the freedom of the press in Europe. EYP also takes part in discussions about journalistic education standards and media policies throughout the European Union. The EYP sees itself as serving the national structures through the development and coordination of projects organized by young media makers in Europe. EYP provides contact forums and educational seminars for multipliers of the member associations. Above all, the aim of all member associations and of EYP is to inspire young people to become involved in the media and take an active part in civil society by fostering objective and independent journalism. EYP "supports young journalists throughout Europe by connecting them across borders, bringing them together to cover international events and question politicians, and increasing access to diverse sources and points of view." Main projects Since 2007 the European Youth Press has been organising, together with the European Parliament, the biggest event for young media makers from the 27 member states: the European Youth Media Days. This event brings together every year around 300 participants from the EU who had the chance to report from within the European Parliament for 3 days, to attend conferences and speak to MEPs. The young journalists meet and produce media together. The European Youth Media Days 2012 will take place between 16-18 October 2010 in the European Parliament in Brussels. Orangelog.eu has been created to provide an interactive, multimedia platform for event coverage. Young journalists from all over Europe meet for the first time and take the challenge of working together to report about different events happening across the continent.
