I have never taken part in EYP.
What can I expect from EYP-UA Weekend in my city?
For the majority of Ukrainian youngsters the word “session” is usually associated
with rather dark prospects. However, there is a group of young people from
different cities of our country, for whom the word “session” has become a symbol of
freedom, fun, friendship and communication.
You think it’s strange? Not at all, if we are talking about members of the European
Youth Parliament. For them, the “session” is associated not with the students’
record-book and exams, but with exciting trips, fun parties, serious disputes, solving
important problems and, of course, socialising!
So, what you can expect:
Intense English practise – 2 days at all stages of the conference you will
communicate exceptionally in English.
Innovative approach – we believe you will remember your first Teambuilding
forever.
Cultural exchange – all discussions will be moderated by EYP members from
different European countries and Ukraine.
Friendly atmosphere and ability to express yourself.
Every session consists of the following parts:
a. Teambuilding
Which is an informal activity aimed at close
acquaintance of participants and their preparation
for further challenges of the conference. Though
some games might seem random and unnecessary,
there is something more significant behind them.
Group moves from ice-breaking to complicated
problem-solving. We have a great variety of activities, developed and tested by 25
years of experience.
b. Committee work
The committee work is the most European activity
you could possibly imagine, as it is entirely built on
cooperation and consensus of its members. The
delegates have on forehand been given a
committee topic about a regional, European,
global or moral issue which they have to prepare
and analyse before arriving at the session. Guided by the chairpersons, they go
through an intense workshop including brainstorming, debating and finalising. The
purpose is to produce a resolution that is a political statement often used in
international organisations.
c. General Assembly
At the General Assembly, all participants are
gathered, and the committee proposes its
resolution. Others are invited to attack it and ask
questions during the open debate, and at last the
assembly casts its votes. It follows a strict
parliamentary procedure, led by the board of the
session.
