European Christian Political Youth Network (ECPYN)
ECPYN is a network with a mission: “To build together on Christian politics in Europe by collaboration, exchange of experience and active participation.” The ECPYN is established in July 2004 in Kortenberg (near Brussels). During the Summerschool 2004, organized by PerspectieF (Dutch youth-organisation), the representatives of the 8 youth-organisations present, decided to establish a youth network based on the Lakitelek-declarations. These declarations are signed by a number of Christian political parties from all over Europe. From our point of view, the Lakitelek-declarations are a good foundation, also for the youth-organisations to promote the Christian values in Europe. The ECPYN is a growing network with member organisations from all over Europe. And we are still growing. We see a great opportunity to work on Christian politics in Europe. And, with the entrance of the 10 member states, mostly from Eastern Europe, these opportunities are increasing. ECPYN is an organisation in which the Word of God is the foundation of all our activities. And with the Word of God, we can work on our politics, Christian social-politics. We are convicted of the fact that we as human beings are related to three things, to God, to other people and to the creation around us. That is what Christian social-politics is about. In other words: Relation-politics. For the year 2005, we have made an action program. Would you like to work together with the other member-organisations on the action program, or do you want to make your organisation member of the ECPYN?
