Editorial Note Trying to summarise a session in simple words will never do it justice, especially in a non-native language. Because too many things have happened in a short period of time in the beginning of June that would deserve to be talked about for hours and hours. Instead of that we, as your Media Team, attempted to find some kind of way to create reminiscences of those special moments. Might it be with words, videos or some sort of illustration. The moments that will be brought to us when thinking back to Cork 2021 will differ. Depending on who we are or were at a certain point in that session. Might it be the slight fear when opening the first link for a zoom call with our committee or the emoji reaction in discord that we used to show our appreciation for someone else's work. For your Media Team there was no way we ever thought to be able to bring justice to the experiences all of you and us have made. EYP is that strange thing so many of us come back to not knowing why exactly it has inspired us so much. And exactly because there are so many stories that are EYP and those are so hard to tell, we, from the Media Team and I as the Editor, are so thrilled to bring you this physical piece of art that you can remember the digital event we all had together by.

Might its pages wrinkle because you are reading it so much. Might it collect dust and be rediscovered by you in many many years in the future. Might it be your piece of Cork, wherever in the world you might end up in. On behalf of the Media Team, Eike

You can find all projects and everything the Media Team of Cork 2021 has worked on for the past few weeks on our social media pages irishnationalsession on Instagram and Cork 2021 - 24th National Session of EYP Ireland on Facebook as well as on our very own cork2021.com website. Enjoy!

The beginnings of change

team were the ones to start building a new home, a new house with a door waiting to be open. It was through the mornings full of chatter and the evenings dancing in joy, that Cork 21 managed to sculpt the perfect atmosphere of being together despite miles keeping us apart, spreading its wings to fly higher than ever imagines. In the end, it always was and always will be about the fun. And as images come and go, one seems to stick with Emma until the last breath, that of a smile as everyone closes this door to continue their journey in EYP.

A piece inspired by a conversation with Emma Bradfield, the Head-Organiser of Cork 2021 about beginnings, visions and coffee. by Ema Myftiu (AL)

Among the many images floating in her head, there was a particular one; one that stood up the most for being simply the embodiment of her vision. It started with a coffee break, a fragment of a dream to be brought to life in the future, a section of time worth as much as the incredible International Sessions of EYP. Some nice biscuits on the table, a cheerful day where the sun smiled, bathing in sunlight the many who were having a quiet laugh during the break.

ever would choose to become part of something so unique. However, with broken wings, the session had to be reimaged, redesigned with passion and persistence to bring forward for the ones who always believed in the vision, the pureness of quality and the taste of fun. From a fragile thought to a stone-bound structure, the session transformed to become what it originally was envisioned as; the embodiment of empowerment and fun.

The idea was born from love, from the love of creating a platform so powerful that it gives everyone a voice, a chance to shine bright under the stage lights and grow past the limits of their knowledge. Skipping over a few steps, Emma took a leap for a national-scale event, whose journey would begin in April 2020. With EYP-roots running deep in Cork, the heart of the session, the event would welcome with open arms whoEuropean Y outh Parliament I reland

From the endless hours of dedication to the most peculiar ideas, the work of the souls behind the scenes aimed to paint a new scenery where fever dreams were lived with a smile shining bright on everyone’s faces. Although circumstances coloured the skies grey, Emma and her

WELCOME TO EYP IRELAND Hi Everyone! We are delighted that you took part in Cork 2021. We hope you enjoyed the session and that it has inspired you to become more involved in EYP. You have seen what it is like to participate as a delegate, but there is much more to life in the EYP Network than that. In the spirit of that, we would like to explain a little bit about EYP Ireland and how you can become a part of the work we do! - Conor Comiskey, International Officer of EYP Ireland.

What is EYP Ireland? For over two decades, EYP Ireland has been the entirely youth-run organisation which runs the regional and national EYP events in Ireland every year. These events are run by our member-base of young volunteers, as well as volunteers from across Europe who apply to participate in our sessions. This is all overseen by our National Committee (which I’ll explain better later). We also send volunteers and delegates to events run by the 40+ other national committees in the EYP network. Why you should join and how you can do it As a member of EYP Ireland, you will be eligible to volunteer as an official at our events in Ireland. Furthermore, you will also be eligible to volunteer at EYP events across Europe. You will be invited to attend our many formal and informal European Y outh Parliament I reland

social events throughout the year. This year these will be a mixture of digital and physical, but of course as many physical socials as possible! EYP Ireland and other National Committees hold training events which will help you improve skills that

EYP Ireland runs five conferences during its calendar year; four Regional and one National conference. We also aim to hold hold outreach events online and small scale events throughout the term. The four regionals are open to all senior cycle students in the designated region depending on the session and it is from these that delegates will be selected to attend the National Conference. EYP Ireland events are open to all senior cycle students in the Republic of Ireland, regardless of school or background. We are constantly looking for new ways to expand our activities and to reach higher numbers of young people.

prove beneficial in an EYP context and also in everyday life. Also, we will have a mentor programme so that you can learn from and make friends with people who have been in the organisation for a few years already. It’s important to know that if you become a member, you will not be able to attend another Irish regional or national session as a delegate. What is the National Committee? The National Committee is the board of elected representatives of EYP Ireland. They work throughout the year with various stakeholders to run EYP Ireland for the members. You can see all of the roles and who currently holds them on our instagram page (@eypireland). For now, the people you will mostly interact with as you become a member are the International Officer, the Events Officer, and the Human Resources Officer. The

International Officer ( yours truly, Conor Comiskey, hi!) will be responsible for welcoming you to the organisation and helping you to integrate as a member. The Events Officer (the enigmatic Mary O’Connell) will be organising the social events that you will be able to attend now ! The Human Resources Officer (the wonderful Sadhbh O’Riordan) will be there for you if any problems should arise. The rest of our NC are all extremely hardworking but also lovely individuals so if at any time you have a question about their role or whatever else, you can reach out to them! If you would like to join, check your email inbox for an email from international@eyp.ie If you don’t have one, email that address and you’ll receive a response ASAP.

Yin and Yang Looking at both sides As everything else, online EYP also has its positive and negative sides. Dide Atabay (TR) discusses this ambivalence with help of the participants of the session. EYP events, which have been held faceto-face for years, have contributed a lot to the lives of many young people and continue to do so. This event, which has helped young people from all over Europe to develop themselves, is still the common meeting point of many young people. All the sessions and events, which improved language skills, public speaking skills, and awareness of problems, helped us a lot during the pandemic period. In addition to enabling us to socialize when at physical sessions, it also offered us this opportunity when we were at home. But of course, online EYP has both positive

European Y outh Parliament I reland

and negative sides. Most of the participants said that it is easier to meet people all around Europe thanks to online EYP. Besides, you do not need to get out of your house and struggle with travel and accommodation stuff. Because of this, many participants get the chance to meet so many people. “Meet a wide range of people, all from the comfort of your home. I’ve met people from all around Europe that I might not have been able to meet had we been confined to physical sessions” said Jess (UK) Orga. Almost everyone said they met so many

people and made friends. On Discord, they socialized with each other in banter channels even before the session. Leah (IE) Delegate explained this situation with this sentence: “The discord allowed our committee to talk before the session, and listen to music together and send gifs, etc. that we wouldn’t do in person”. Continuing to the negative side, I think our biggest issue here is socializing… All of the participants and I guess all of the EYPers would like to meet everyone in person and try to get to know them better but unfortunately, we cannot. We cannot have coffee breaks together, chit chat because we all need some screen break. This is one of the negative sides of doing EYP online. We spend so much time on screen and it is not good for us. Like Grace (IE) Delegate mentioned, “I had to sit down for a lot of the day looking at a screen, which hurt a little!” As a media team member, I would like to walk around all over the session area and take photos physically.

I am pretty sure that every official and delegate would like to do the same, not the photography part obviously... Some of our participants were disappointed because they did not get the chance of recognizing more cultures by visiting other countries, just like Izzy (IE) Delegate who said “I wasn’t able to experience as much of the culture as I would have hoped”. Last but definitely not least, we have “Caffeine addiction, enough said”. Yes, Owen (IE) Delegate, fair point. We can see that there are a lot of things on both sides. I realized there was a conflict here while writing - we could socialize during the pandemic thanks to online EYP but now we are saying that we cannot socialize enough because of the online EYP. Whatever, I guess we all love EYP, and this is the most important thing! EYP brings us together whether online or physically. You know everything has a bright and a dark side just like the Yin and Yang... See you somewhere in Europe!

Challenging inequalities - and ourselves In this interview Lena Kreft (DE), the president of Cork 2021 talks about her experience, drawing parallels between 2015 and now and explaining the meaning of Cork for her. GOING BACK TO 2015 - HOW DID IT ALL START? EYP is very well established in my school, so every year we send a delegation to the National Selection Process in Germany. The delegation of the former year presented EYP to new perspective delegates, and I remember thinking it sounded as a very fun activity to do next to school. I was intrigued to learn more about European issues and also get to know more about the EU, especially because my politics class in school was missing these aspects and I hoped for more - real stuff, actual things that were happening in politics at the moment and not just some theories. I got lucky enough to be a part of a delegation and the rest is history. WHAT MADE YOU CONTINUE? I went to Nationals and the officials were just extremely kind and they seemed like they were having fun. I really wanted to try organising European Y outh Parliament I reland

which is very typical in EYP Germany - and then I went on to chair. What kept me going is the overall spirit, crying together during “Imagine” that I got to experience at my first session and never could forget about. AND WERE YOU SATISFIED WITH THE ACADEMIC SIDE? Definitely! I was confronted with a lot of topics I partly never heard about - from international weapon trade to sustainable young enterprises. I learned more not only about

how EU works but also about topics that matter to the EU. EYP and especially the academic side of it taught me a lot more than school did, and I’m very appreciative of that. It has also had a huge influence on my future career as I am studying to become a teacher for English and Economics and Politics, by constantly inspiring me and giving me ideas on what I can do in Economics and Politics class, things I want to discuss. I really like the idea of focusing on one specific problem, breaking down the big problems our society faces into smaller ones and dealing with those. That’s why we have session themes, and we try to pick out some problems that all relate and point back to this overarching theme, keeping the bigger picture in mind. WHAT WAS THE BIGGER PICTURE BEHIND CORK 2021? When coming up with topics for Cork 2021, the focus lied on social inequalities. But we also talked about differences between member states while dealing with climate change considering energy use, vaccination nationalism and similar. It’s always interesting to see how different issues and topics interact with each other on different levels. WHY IS CORK 2021 SPECIAL TO YOU? It’s a session of firsts. For me, sessions are always about learning something new, and I see every session that I take on as

a challenge. Cork was my first time as a president, also my first time at a digital session. And there’s a lot that I learned from this experience and that I want to do better at next sessions. What made Cork special to me is definitely the people that I got to work with, so the leadership and the academic team. I believe the best part of this session was getting to know the other officials and listening to what the delegates had to say, hearing young people and all the innovative ideas they brought to the table. I really enjoyed that, and that is something I would also like to focus on at other sessions, too. WHAT LESSONS ARE YOU TAKING FROM THIS SESSION? Definitely wellbeing. With Cork, we only started work around 11 CET and the few extra hours of sleep were amazing. I think sleep and taking time for ourselves should definitely not be forgotten when we return to physical sessions. Of course, we as a network have already made big progress with the introduction of the safe core team and all the awareness they raised, but we can always do more. And the second thing would be pre-session trainings - the discovery that you don’t have to do all modules on the CJO day. Having the ability to have training evenings beforehand will be especially valuable for regional sessions, in my opinion. For those that are trying out a role for the first time, there’s so much that needs

Cork 2021. com

to be learned and one day might not be enough. So the time before the session can be used to teach and learn, but also to get to know the rest of the team so that everyone arrives at the session having already met the others digitally. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE THE READERS? A general advice would be your typical “Believe in yourself” or “Give yourself more credit”. I think those would be the things I would definitely advise the readers and also to really just take a chance on EYP, to see what the network has to offer them and give EYP a chance because it is a great opportunity to experience new things and make great memories. And then when you are starting out, just be open - be open to learn, be open to other people’s perspectives and opinions and believe more in yourself. Being a first-time chairperson, MTM, organiser, jury member - that’s obviously scary, but I can promise you there’s always people there who will guide you and support you. You will never be on your own, there’s always someone who has your back. And to all officials: remember you are

I wish that even more people get the chance to give EYP a chance and to really take that step to challenge

European Y outh Parliament I reland

here for a reason. HOW DID THE NETWORK CHANGE SINCE 2015? I believe 2015 was actually the first year when you weren’t allowed to speak French anymore. Before both English and French were working languages in EYP so if you wanted to, you could make a point in General Assembly in French and everyone else just had to pray that someone spoke French, so you could understand what was said. But I was lucky to not have to experience that because my French is abysmal. We have new NCs that were formed after 2015 - now we have 40 National Committees and rules and guidelines put into place. Knowledge sharing and NC cooperation plays a huge role in the development of the network, sharing experiences with each other improves the quality of our work. The alumni network is put more into a spotlight with the talks we have on a regular basis. I also think that we have become a lot more professional in the last six years as an organisation, with the corporate identity and the work the Governing Body is doing to present our work, a recent example being the World Economic Forum. And having Ursula von der Leyen as our patron is quite something. We’ve come a long way since we started, it’s fascinating what has happened in the last years, and it leaves me intrigued to see how the network and we with it will evolve and develop further in the next years.

Before and After EYP

One simple question but so many different answers - Daria Voicu (RO) asked the participants of Cork how EYP changed them. Here are some of the answers. Before EYP, I was definitely less aware of other cultures, less tolerant and less emotionally intelligent.

After, I have discovered myself more, I feel privileged to be a part of something that is bigger than myself, I feel like I have so many opportunities to contribute to the world and I have a sense of identity as an EU citizen.

I was a much less rounded person, I found myself stuck in situations with family and friends where they talk about social issues or politics and I had no idea how to contribute. Now after my second EYP session I have found myself to be more interested in those areas of discussion. As well as finding it easier to speak publicly, work with new people, make friends easier and in general found myself to a more rounded person. - Ruairí (IE) ENVI III

Through EYP, I have had the opportunity to meet so many people from so many different countries which have helped me grow as a more tolerant person, as well as teaching me about teamwork and other cultures and pressing European issues.

Probably not the most confident person and somewhat oblivious to some of the struggles that minority groups face on a daily basis. By doing EYP I have become more confident, I feel more comfortable sharing my perspective on things and I feel like I have a more well rounded world view. - Aoibh (IE) DROI

European Y outh Parliament I reland

Pre EYP I was someone who was confused about how I can contribute to society and make the world a better place but I didn’t want to go into politics so I felt scared of being insignificant.

What has drawn me back to EYP is not the debating aspect (although I really love the debating aspect). Rather, it’s the community. At EYP I have met so many interesting, passionate and enthusiastic people. They have a desire to learn, meet people and to have a good time. Now, I try to talk to as many people as I can, so that I get to enjoy the most of the passion and enthusiasm of the other people at EYP.

Transition to physical sessions A look into what the future holds for EYP and all of us from a digital era EYPer who is awaiting his next event - a physical session. by Veljko Đurišić (RS) The ongoing situation in the world made us change most of our routines and usual ways of spending our days, weeks and even months since the beginning of the pandemic. At first, we started without public transportation and restaurants with most events cancelled and in most countries, schools have moved from our classrooms - filled with friends and some socialization hype that we can feel especially now when we are coming back there, to Google classrooms, Zoom calls and other online apps as some form of temporary education. Every part of our life that included some form of public gathering moved their events on our small and large screens in our bedrooms, living rooms or even outside when others could have seen our faces with the mask on. Among every other gathering, our favourite - EYP sessions, also had to move to discord servers, meeting calls and miro boards. But now after that era is done (we hope), will EYP take some important information and ideas from the digital form of debatEuropean Y outh Parliament I reland

ing, team-building and talking to other EYPers of our age from all over the world? We evolved and every official's team and even delegates experienced different tasks than before, and some teams had major shifts in their way of work. The academic team as an example had a different way of controlling how their committees are going, and each aspect of their work had changed in every possible way. The jury team - the stealthiest ever, also had a hard time adapting to the new way of judging delegates, while all the other teams, particularly the organising and the media team had completely different assignments - never seen before on physical sessions. Orga team who had to set up the accommodation, catering is now setting up discord roles and making the breakout rooms for wonderful evening activities, while the media team is making infographics in Canva and making Google Forms on daily basis instead of using their

camera and photography equipment. What will happen now? Will the new generation of European Youth Parliament members change the EYP as some people remember it, or will they just become lovers of physical sessions as some ex-members of this organisation? It is all upon you to decide and choose what will happen in the future!

On the verge of escapism

that make each of us unique. Make it real. Make it existing for everyone, all the time. Make it so real, that the generations to come don’t have the need to escape anywhere, but can enjoy their life as you enjoy yours in EYP.

by Ejra Mehić (DE)

Some years ago I decided to change the world. It was back in the time when I used to spend hours reading about wizards, rebels and heroes that fought against injustice, for a better tomorrow. You must imagine my deep disappointment in the workings of the world when I realized that it, in fact, wasn’t very probable for a 13-year-old to successfully overthrow a government or banish the villains to some far away desert. The villains were there, real in every sense of that word, but the means to doing anything nowhere to be found. It is something that all of us have experienced at some point: the feeling of being so incredibly small and helpless when confronted with all of those things you know are wrong. And it wasn’t until my first session that this feeling receded a bit, finally showing traces of hope. A euphoric moment, an exhilarating thought – change was possible and we were in the middle of it, drafting resolutions and discussing them during General Assembly. EYP showed me that I could make an impact. Fast forward a few years and this is still true. Every new session comes with that European Y outh Parliament I reland

empowering feeling, a boost of confidence, tons of friends. It’s addicting, something you can only get in an environment full of understanding, love and support; one that lets you thrive. All of us together created this place, a safe haven for everyone – our very own utopia. It is easy to get carried away by just how amazing this dream world is. But it is only this: our small dream world made after utopian ideals of peace, solidarity, freedom. It stops existing when “Imagine” comes to the end and you step outside, only to be confronted with hatred, bigotry and all of the ugliness. It is only normal to want to go back, but the problem is when this escapism becomes avoidance and ignorance. Don’t let yourself ever forget why you even started in the first place. You knew the world needed changing and you cared enough to try. Remember that first time you felt you could actually contribute to the change? Don’t let it all be for nothing. Use what you learnt in EYP and start working towards this utopian idea of how you would like the world to be. Create a place that values humanity, knowledge and compassion, differences

A World of Ours

What would your perfect world look like? What would it consist of? And its name? Participants of Cork thought about these and many other questions, reflecting the current issues they are most passionate about and how the world would look like without them. From Hestia to Concordia, these are just some aspects that are included. For more, check out our social media posts and the session’s website.

Cork 2021 daily highlights

Day 3 - Committee Work This busy day started off with the Nature trail - an activity prepared by the Orga team. Chairs were resotyping after a long day of CW and the media team presented their projects, looking for participants. Delegates could try out their skills in a treasure hunt activity.

Day 0 - CMOJ Day After a long Sunday full of trainings and modules, the officials gathered for an evening together, playing games and getting to know each other. The delegates joined the server and Cork was ready to begin.

Day 1 - General Teambuilding After a few General Teambuilding games, delegates went into their committee zooms to get to know each other better, creating the bonds to last throughout the session and even later.

Day 2 - Opening Ceremony Tuesday started early - Lena Kreft (DE) officially opened the session after the leadership had presented themselves and delegates got to hear an inspiring speech from Martin Collins. Committee Work started as well and the day ended with the Cork Culture Night. European Y outh Parliament I reland

Day 4 - General Assembly The big day for everyone - the first day of General Assembly! The resolutions of seven committees were discussed and voted on. Delegates got to participate and compete at a quiz later in the evening.

Day 4 - Closing Ceremony During the second day of GA the rest of the committees got to defend their resolutions. The week has gone by too fast and we listened to the closing speeches from the leadership and watched the session video. “Imagine” felt bittersweet, as well as the closure in our respective committees and teams. Instead of saying goodbye, we promised to see each other soon - somewhere in Europe!

Kyrenia De Loenen (BE) asked the Cork-based participant p of Cork 2021 to share their favorite spots, hidden places the ey think deserve more recognition and share stories and pictures conn nected to Cork. This way we could all discover Cork through the eyes of locals like we would have done at a physical session.

Harty’ Quay Cork: It’s a path that starts in Rochestown and goes to the Marina before looping back to Rochestown via Blackrock. I love to run and Harty’s Quay is my favourite route. It’s free from traffic, has a lovely ran of scenery, changing from being surrounded to trees, to running by the sea, and going through Blackrock where there’s a square and a castle. You also run along the Marina where there are way too many places to stop for coffee, and the Marina is also where Páirc Uí Chaoimh is, Cork (and therefore Ireland’s) best hurling pitch.
