The 56 Youth MPs who participate are divided into 5 Parliamentary Committees (Education/ Environment/ Labor, Welfare and Social Security/ Foreign Affairs/ Interior) each of which debates an issue related to the needs and concerns of young people and writes a final Report. This project is directly linked to the Structured Dialogue, as for the first time in Cyprus, the decisions and views of young people are submitted to the high political level.
