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.
