Participate in the National Pre-selection!
TOPIC OF THE NATIONAL PRESELECTION 2025-2026:
“The via gluck phenomenon: Rural to urban migration, especially youth led, is a common issue all around the EU, with small towns losing both intellectual renewal and manpower, and cities accounting for 38.9% of the total European population. How can the EU ensure a better and compelling working and studying opportunities for newer generations regardless of their geographic predisposition?”
I want to participate with my school, how do I do it?
To take part in the Pre‑selection phase, each school registers one or more delegations of six students. Every delegation must draft a Resolution Motion on a topic that changes each year.
A jury appointed by the Association will select the best Motions, inviting the delegations that authored them to participate in the events of the EYP Italy and of other National Committees within the EYP Network.
In addition, on 11 and 14 November two meetings were held between the Board and interested students, during which several aspects related to drafting resolutions were explored in depth. All materials used are available in this Google Drive folder.
Registration
The first step is registration. Once the interest of a sufficient number of students has been verified and the working groups within the school have been composed, the teacher in charge of the project is asked to confirm by November 1, 2025 the school's membership by registering at the link:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSenGY6wDutaeRCONF56M7D7-QKck8ddbYvjzY4Dh1D-rz1y2w/viewform.
One of the fields to fill in requires the email address of the referring teacher: it will be used only by the staff of our association in case of need and to remember deadlines.
Sending the Resolution
Sending the resolution. The proposed resolution is a paper in which the problem is examined and interventions and solutions are proposed. It consists of two parts: a first introductory part (because clauses), which reports the legal basis and reasons for the proposed actions, and a second part (by clauses) which presents the concrete actions to be taken to deal with the problem. The proposal must be drawn up in English according to the structure specified in the "Preselection Guide" document and using the appropriate layout (template - preselection). Reading all the documents provided is strongly recommended. The Preselection Guide contains a Topic Overview, i.e. a document outlining the proposed topic which will guide students in the preliminary phase of the research, which will in any case be expanded.
The essay must be sent to the e-mail address preselezione@eypitaly.org within and no further than November 25, 2025.
