How-To: EYP Member Platform

The Member Platform is the website that holds all information about events and members of the European Youth Parliament. This platform is easy to use and is helpful to all members who want to apply to become officials or who want to learn more about EYP. 

As a member of the European Youth Parliament, it is essential that you have an account on this platform, as it is the organisation's way to keep track of its members, as well as a way for you to keep track of your events, without the need for a participation certificate. Applications for all official roles are done only through this platform, where the team leaders can check your confirmed events and, if any, your received evaluations.

After creating an account, steps for which can be found on our Instagram post, you will be sent to the Home page of the Member Platform which looks like this:

On the top right, you can find your profile, while below it you can see news from all National Committees (NCs) and the International Office (IO). On this tab, they share open calls as well as important news within the network.

In the middle of the page, you can see the Upcoming Events within the network. When an NC shares a new event with the network, they are obliged to also add it to the Member Platform. The event is then added to the list of other events, where they are ordered in chronological order.

The menu is on the left side of the page. Here, you can navigate through the different pages that the EYP Member Platform offers, all of which are explained below.

Events: The Events page resembles the middle of the Home page.  It is divided into three tabs, Upcoming Events, My Events, and Past Events. On Upcoming Events, you can chronologically go through the events happening in NCs all around Europe and check which ones have open calls. On My Events, you will find the events you attended, and in Past Events you can check out all events the Network has been up to in the past.

News: Here you can find all news that NCs and the IO have shared with the Network.

Evaluations: After you attend an event, your team leader can write an evaluation about your performance at the event. After being submitted, you can check all these evaluations here.

National Committees: On this page, you can find a list of all National Committees of EYP. If you click on one of the NCs, you can see their events, members, and news. 

Wiki: The EYP Wiki, otherwise known as the EYP Knowledge Bank, has a selection of materials, guides, and templates, all important to use when in an EYP context. They feature information on Communications, Organising, Resources, etc...

When clicking on an event, you will be transported to a page such as the one above. There, you can find:

• Event Details (date and place, important booklets) 

• Description, which has more information about the session, such as the session theme

• Open Calls, where you can apply for the role that you want. Please note that you can apply only when these calls are open. To know when they are open, keep your eyes on the NC Instagram Page and on the Announcements Channel on the EYP Albania Discord. Make sure to complete and submit your application through the Member Platform before the calls are closed.

• Participants, where you can see all the participants of this session.

Congratulations! Now you have all the information on how to perfectly navigate through the Members Platform. All you have left is to confirm your registration and that will be done immediately after you pay your Membership Fee. You will be notified through email about when you can complete this payment.
