School Sessions
School Sessions (or In-School Sessions as they are often referred to) are exactly what they sound like, small-scale sessions that take place at schools.
School Sessions generally follow the same structure as bigger session, which means that when you attend one you still get to experience committee work (where committees discuss their opinions on their assigned topic and express them in the form of a resolution) and general assembly (the grand debate that ends the event).
One big difference is however that a majority of the participants won’t be EYP members, instead they will be regular students at the school. They are also often shorter than regional or national sessions, normally lasting between 1-3 days. You don’t need any previous experience in order to organise a school session and you can do it even if you have never participated at one of our sessions before.
Anyone at a school, teachers or students, can take initiative if they want to host a session, but we encourage local boards in particular to take on this task. If you wish to organise a school session, you can start by checking out the information below. If you need more support, feel free to contact your nearest Regional Board!

Things to keep in mind for your school session
This list outlines the main steps that need to be taken in order to organise a school session. It is primarily targeted at students, however it can still be used by teachers even though not all points will be relevant. Everything on this list does not have to be done, and it does not include everything one can do before and during a session, it simply exists to provide support and inspiration. The list has been divided into three different parts that provide information on what to do in different stages of the process.
Congratulations! You’ve hosted an EYP school session.
