The European Christian Political Youth Network (ECPYN) is a political association of youth organizations from all over Europe. Though independent, ECPYN has close relations with the European Christian Political Movement (ECPM). We aim to reflect and work on Christian-democratic politics in Europe from an explicit Christian-social view. We focus on the human being in its relationship to God, other people and the creation. We see this relational thinking as the heart of Christian-democracy. We are convinced that young people should play a key role in politics, seeking what is best for our societies.
