European Parliament Ambassador School programme

The European Parliament Ambassador School programme (EPAS) is an educational programme for secondary schools and colleges in the European Union and the United Kingdom run by the European Parliament. The programme aims to improve students' political knowledge and participation by educating them about the system of parliamentary democracy across Europe, as well as what the European Parliament views as the values of European citizenship.

EPAS was launched in the Netherlands in 2010 as the Een 10 voor Europa programme, which aimed to educate Dutch secondary school students about Europe and European cooperation, as well as how the EU influences their everyday lives. From 2015, the programme was expanded to other member states of the EU and given its current name and aims, before also being opened up to the UK after Brexit in 2021.

In the programme, the European Parliament designates participating schools and colleges as European Parliament Ambassador Schools, with students and teachers at these schools then designated as European Parliament Junior Ambassadors and European Parliament Senior Ambassadors respectively to organise activities and events which promote Europe and the programme's aims. As of 2025, there are around 2,000 schools across the EU and the UK which have been designated as Ambassador Schools, with around 5,000 teachers and almost 35,000 students serving as senior and junior ambassadors of the European Parliament.
