About
The European Christian Political Youth (ECPYouth) is a political association of youth organizations from all over Europe. We are the independent youth organization of the European Christian Political Movement. We aim to reflect and work on Christian-democratic politics in Europe from an explicit Christian-social view. We build our political views on the foundation of relational thinking, which we see as the heart of Christian-democracy. We wish to inspire and equip youth with skills, because we are convinced that young people should play a key role in politics.
