The Board of National Committees (BNC) is the meeting of representatives from all countries where EYP is active. The BNC gathers twice a year in Berlin to discuss proposals and policies as well as to share knowledge and know-how. From the 10th to the 12th of October 2014, 53 representatives from 34 countries got together. The summarized outcome of this meeting is now available to read here.

The Governing Body (GB) represents the interests of the EYP as a whole and is composed of six elected members. They are responsible for the strategic development and facilitating the work of the organisation at the international level. The members meet four times every year and the full minutes of their September 2014 meeting have been published to read here.
