📢 Call for the Young Elected Politicians Programme 2025

Hello 👋

We are delighted to announce that the annual call for applications for the Young Elected Politicians Programme 2025 (YEP Programme) of the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) has just been launched!

More information is available on the CoR website:

https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/YEPCall2025

The YEP Programme is open to all politicians with a local or regional mandate, who are under 35 years old and feel comfortable exchanging in English.

As for the last edition, the CoR widens the eligibility to not only politicians from Member States of the European Union, but the doors are again open also for applicants from EU candidate countries (Albania, Moldova, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Türkiye and Ukraine).

150 young local and regional leaders, among them 35 will be from our political family, will be selected for this year’s programme.

They will be involved in many political activities and become part of a wider network of young local politicians. 

Please note that the deadline for applications is Thursday 1st May 2025. Young elected politicians can apply via this LINK.

If you have already taken part in the programme, we hope you’ll be our ambassador - spread the word and invite a friend! We are committed to equality and strongly encourage women to apply.

Best wishes,

The PES Group Secretariat
