Welcome to the official website of the European Rural Parliament, a fast growing and unique movement, rooted in and working for the interests of the rural and islands people and communities of Europe.

The European Rural Parliament (ERP) is a long-term campaign to express the voice of rural people in Europe; and to promote self-help and action by the rural people, in partnership with civil society and governments. The ERP brings together rural players – local, regional and national – to exchange experience and agree the rural policy agenda with which to lobby government.

About the ERP

A man speaks at a podium on a stage with a sign that says European Rural Parliament, Kielce, Poland. Three people sit on red chairs nearby. The stage is decorated with pumpkins and hay bales, and green lighting creates an atmospheric effect.

Youth Parliament

Five young people stand in a brightly lit indoor space, casually dressed with lanyards, smiling as if at an event like the Scottish Rural Islands Parliament. Other attendees and a wooden structure are blurred in the background.
