European Parliament Ambassadors Schools Programme (EPAS)

The Wheel are delighted to continue working alongside the European Parliament Liaison Office in Ireland (EPLO) to deliver the European Parliament Ambassadors Schools Programme (EPAS) for a further four years. Running since 2015, the EPAS programme engages with over 65 secondary schools nationwide.

The aim of the programme is to increase awareness of Europe, democracy and political choice among young people across the EU. Coordinating the delivery of this programme promotes The Wheel’s objective to support active citizenship by promoting the range and quality of opportunities and resources to help people get more involved in civic life, as well as celebrating and promoting the benefits of active citizenship.
