HEAD ORGANISERS’ VISION
PARDUBICE 2022 24th National Selection Conference of EYP Czech Republic
‘Shaping our identity in the fragile present’ In the past year, society has faced an immense challenge in regards to the stability of a wide range of industries. With the motto ‘Shaping our identity in the fragile present’, we aim to contribute to creating a strong identity of our society, stemming from active participation and citizenship. In addition to aiding individuals to discover and mend their own personal identity, the main focus of the 24th National Selection Conference of EYP CZ Pardubice 2022 is to combat fragility as a diverse but unified society. The broad nature of the theme calls for a city with an equally varied range of interests. This is why we chose to hold this event in the beautiful city of Pardubice, known not only for its diverse industries but also for its rich historical and cultural background. This combination creates the perfect environment for peer-to-peer learning. In addition, the quality of events organised by EYP CZ is widely perceived as very high and we would like to carry on this honourable tradition. As the Head Organisers, our priority is to provide the participants with a safe, open space for voicing their opinions, sharing their knowledge, and contributing towards the creation of a more active European youth. We believe that each individual has the potential to exponentially grow and improve, therefore we would like to put an emphasis on fostering a welcoming and friendly environment ensuring that everyone has enough space to self-develop and explore both their strengths and weaknesses. In the past year, the pandemic has uncovered many shortcomings in how our society functions, both in terms of individual states and together as humankind. In addition, it has highlighted the lack of preparedness and will to cooperate in a crisis of such magnitude. From this point of view, our vision can be closely tied to the post-pandemic period, where many have been left vulnerable. It is indispensable to both secure and stabilise the economy and protect the indigent in the present, whilst also moving on and preparing for the uncertain future. We envisage the topics of discussion to surround the areas of stabilisation of the physical and mental healthcare industry, digital education, and international relations. It is also crucial to highlight the issue of the general public neglecting a number of environmental matters due to the urgency of the healthcare crisis. Even though the effects of the pandemic cannot be overlooked, there is an aspect of our vision that extends beyond the current situation. This might include protecting endangered cultural and ethnical identities as well as other social minorities. Creating a strong identity also applies to the overall atmosphere of each and every team at the session. While underlining the importance of individuality, we strive to emphasise the significance of integrity and inclusivity so as to assure each participant that they play a vital role in the identity of our session. Furthermore, we would like to highlight the importance of transparent communication, welfare, and bonding both within and between individual teams, encouraging the participants to socialise and build life-long friendships.
