VISION FOR
EDITORS
Hello everybody,
Welcome to the vision for the Editors of the 25th National Selection Conference of EYP CZ Kolín 2023!
We would like to thank you for taking the time and reading through this vision. We strongly encourage you to apply to help us create an unforgettable conference. We are looking forward to reading your application!
SESSION AND OUR VISION
As the name suggests, our session will be the 25th NSC of EYP CZ, therefore our ultimate goal is to create a unique session to commemorate the celebration of our 25th anniversary.
“Defending our values at the crossroads of the current era.”
We are living through a perfect storm of crises, the pandemic has hit the market, and before the economies could bounce back, they were hit by an energy crisis, which the war in Ukraine has turbocharged. Besides the energy crisis, the war has also caused a massive inflation jump. We believe it is important not only to survive these crises but also for the European Union to be a lighthouse of freedom and democracy in these uncertain times. Instead of abandoning the collective and everybody focusing on themselves, it is crucial to stay together. Together we are stronger, and together we are better.
We have decided to create a session incorporating everything we enjoy about EYP. Everything from impeccable academic output to meeting new friends. We have fallen in love with EYP and want to pass that atmosphere on to every participant of the session. Ultimately, we strive to create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere that pulled us in.
Our goal with the Officials’ team is to focus on transparency and ownership of work. We aim to have all the Officials involved every step of the way. It could be considered a big jump from being an Organiser, a Chairperson, an MTM, or a Jury Member to being a part of the Leadership of sessions. We would like to close the gap to their next step as much as possible for our participants, and we aim to do that via transparency, open communication, involvement, and ownership of their work. We believe that we will be raising leaders of tomorrow during our session.
ABOUT US
The story of us resembles the story Potkali se u Kolína (animated series for children about two bears becoming friends).
We have been to two sessions together, but we have not really
interacted during either of them. What, or rather who got us together as a working
couple, is our Project Manager Míša. She knows both of us quite well and has
recommended that we should talk about being HOs together. That led to our
first meeting, where we realised that our approach to work and EYP itself
matches really nicely, and since then, we have worked together.
Sarah: My first contact with EYP was in 2019 as a Delegate in RSC of EYP CZ
Uherské Hradiště. Since that day, I have tried different roles, such as a coor-
dinator for social media or as a chair or organiser. The main reason I have
stayed in EYP since my first session is the way you connect with people in EYP,
which is absolutely unique and the opportunities EYP provides. If I have some
free time when I am not working on EYP or when I do not need to catch up with
school, I love theatre (either going there or sometimes trying to play in my local drama
club), I play the saxophone, hang out with my friends, try out new recipes and cafés or explore new escape rooms.
Marek: I started EYP all the way back in 2017 as a Delegate participating in RSC of EYP CZ Kutná Hora. Since then, I have gained experience at different sessions, mainly in the academic and organising teams. I absolutely adore the way that EYP gets people together. I am still amazed by the fact that you meet some people for the first time, and in a few days, they are some of your best friends. Outside of EYP, I am interested in basically anything that has an engine (cars, F1, WEC, Dakar Rallye, DTM and many more motorsports), I never say no to a good book, a visit to the theatre or watching a good movie and I love food, both eating and cooking.
VISION FOR EDITORS
We are looking for a media skilled, passionate, hard-working individuals. We are planning to have up to 3 members of the Editorial Team, and later also up to 8 Media Team Members.
We would like to say that as Head Organisers we have two main ideas we would like to see for the Editor/Editors of Kolín 2023.
Due to the fact that the session will be sponsored by a rather big amount of sponsors and partners, we would like to put a great emphasis on the quality of the content that will be presented on social media. That should however not limit your creativity regarding the session output. We want to give you all the creative freedom.
Second
of
all,
our
main
values
are
co-operation,
clear
and
regular
communication
and
transparency. We would like to do that by regular updates from us and from you on Slack and online leadership calls before the session. We believe that those values and way of working together will ensure smooth collaboration and a friendly environment.
We are excited for the Media Team to capture the session in a creative way and we cannot wait what are you and your team going to come up with.
Thank you very much again for putting your time into the application, we deeply appreciate it.
Join us and help us create an unforgettable atmosphere of EYP that we have fell in love with during our previous sessions.
