The YPP is designed to enable young professionals to participate in European conferences. It was initiated in Vienna in 2006 and continued in Paris at ICVT7/Eurovox 2009, Eurovox congresses in Munich (2012), Riga (2015) and the Hague (2018).

For the Eurovox 2026 in Lucerne, Switzerland, EVTA has transformed the format of the YPP, once aimed at young singers, in light of EVTA’s mission to strengthen the exchange of knowledge among voice teachers. The new programme places young voice teachers at the centre of Eurovox.

At Eurovox 2026…

• YPP participants received a warm welcome: a guided tour of the congress venue and the opportunity to join the EVTA Council Members’ Meet & Greet dinner.
• During Eurovox, EVTA hosted two dedicated YPP sessions. These sessions provided a space to discuss and reflect on the conference themes and encourage rich interaction not only between young and experienced teachers, but also among young voice professionals themselves. Informal conversations during the coffee and tea breaks offered even more opportunities to connect across generations and develop a personal international network.
• Participants received support in finding (shared) accommodation.
• In 2026, the programme was open to maximum 10 participants, 7 applications were accepted. The ages of the young voice teachers were 24 to 30 years. Applicants must be members of an EVTA association and are required to register for the congress, however, at the YPP special discount rate.
