Overview

I am an active delegate within European Youth Parliament Finland, with experience ranging from regional policy work to national and international-level sessions.

At the Kokkola Regional Session, I worked within the LIBE Committee, where my proposals were successfully carried through the General Assembly. The feedback I received highlighted strong analytical depth, clarity of argumentation, and effective teamwork under pressure.

While I do not formally position myself as a leader, I often take initiative within groups when direction, structure, or strategic thinking is needed.

Representation & Initiative

One of my key contributions to European Youth Parliament Finland has been identifying and framing what I refer to as the
“Northern Gap”; a structural imbalance in regional representation affecting Northern Finland.
 

Through direct involvement in school outreach, I observed a recurring pattern: communication strategies, participation models, and engagement expectations that work effectively in southern and urban regions often fail to translate to northern schools. This results in lower participation, weaker institutional visibility, and a self-reinforcing cycle of underrepresentation.
 

In response, I initiated an independent project aimed at analysing this gap and proposing targeted solutions to improve northern engagement. The concept, analytical framework, and messaging were developed autonomously, with the objective of moving the issue from anecdotal observation to structured discussion. Since then, the topic has gained increasing attention within organisational conversations.
 

A concise analytical overview of the Northern Gap, including observations, data points, and proposed solutions, is available 

International Perspective

Having travelled extensively and built friendships across numerous cultures, I entered EYP with a strong international mindset. What EYP added was not exposure, but structure; transforming experience into practical cooperation, policy-oriented debate, and institutional engagement.

Looking Ahead

I am committed to EYP Finland long-term.

My focus remains on learning, contributing meaningfully, and gradually taking on greater responsibility (including leadership roles when the time is right)
