"The IYP definitively changed my life. I believe there is a unique opportunity with the IYP and our networks to promote change at all levels. I think so far IYP has been doing an excellent job, exceeding completely expected outcomes, and a proof is the recent Globalization movement and how it impacts us youth. I look forward to the next IYP!"

"Drawing on the ideas I got in IYP 2000 I have not only completed my action plan but worked on many innovative youth projects (concerning school democracy, human rights, youth in politics, ethnical integration, Estonia and European Union) in Estonia. IYP 2000 was definitely one of the most remarkable events in my life!"
