European Forum Pilsen 2015 – Delegations

EUROPEAN FORUM PILSEN 2015

DELEGATIONS

DEAR REPRESENTATIVES OF NATIONAL COMMITTEE, On behalf of EYP Czech Republic, we would like to invite a delegation of your National Committee selected by your choice, to represent your NC at one of our main events of this year – European Forum Pilsen 2015.

European Forum Pilsen 2015 is a summer session taking place from 11 to 16 August 2015 in the European Capital of Culture 2015, Pilsen. Pilsen (or Plzeň, in Czech) is a city in western part of Bohemia and it is, with approximately 170,000 inhabitants, the fourth biggest city in the Czech Republic. Over 100 participants will gather in this beautiful city in order to discuss topics under the motto Culture & Industry: Forming New Directions.

The motto symbolises the utmost important role of culture and industry in the city’s present and past, as well as the opportunity of forming new directions by the connection of the two. The topics will thus mainly focus on cultural and technical aspects, or the combination thereof, such as creative industries.

Pilsen is known world-wide especially for the brewing industry that sources one of the best and most famous beers in the world, Pilsner Urquell. As an example of another very famous company, the Škoda company can be mentioned; it produces mainly vehicles such as locomotives, underground trains, trams, etc. exporting them to various countries around the world.

St. Bartholomew’s Gothic Cathedral, with the highest tower in the Czech Republic, or Moorish Revival Great Synagogue, the second largest synagogue in Europe, prove that Pilsen is also very rich in the area of history and culture.

The session will follow the traditional format, meaning Teambuilding, Committee Work and General Assembly.

However, extra activities such as Euroconcert and Committee Dinners will be held as well.

We would be very grateful if you would agree to send a representation of your to this session and we are looking forward to your reply.

Best regards, EYP Czech Republic
