HEAD ORGANISERS' VISION Helsingborg 2022 - 12th Southern Regional Session of EYP Sweden Obtaining Balance and Overcoming Boundaries
As of now, European society is on the edge of several tipping points, where decisions made today will directly impact the near and distant future. These decisions are in turn exacerbated by the difficulties of our time and have resulted in Europe experiencing imbalance and uncertainty. This imbalance is an obstacle when trying to find solutions for contemporary issues, such as environmental challenges, economic inequality, and social segregation. If immediate action is not taken, Europe risks accelerating further down an unwanted trajectory, causing irreversible damage. Additionally, in the tide of contemporary crises, it has become clear there still exist substantial boundaries that hinder the European standard that we strive to achieve. These boundaries are at play in several matters. Issues such as social discrimination and geopolitical instability become barriers to advantageous development on our continent, obstructing peace and preventing prosperity, cooperation, and development. Evidently, we need to take an active stance and initiate actions in order to obtain balance and overcome boundaries. Therefore, we aspire for Helsingborg 2022 - 14th Southern Regional Session of EYP Sweden to become a forum for young Europeans to freely voice their opinions, experience personal development, and discuss these important issues. Facing the tipping points, we believe that young Europeans have what it takes to lead us through critical times of change — consequently, moving the tide towards a more desirable future.

HEAD ORGANISERS' VISION Gothenburg 2022 - 11th Western Regional Session of EYP Sweden Actualising Green Innovation - From Innovative Ideas, to a Sustainable Future
The EU is being confronted with an energy crisis. Electricity and oil prices have risen to alarming heights, affecting not only the larger economy but ordinary households as well. Transitioning away from the overreliance on natural gas has quickly become a priority for many EU Members States, with volatile political landscapes putting the sustainability of the EU’s energy sources in question. Governments across the continent are now facing the impossible task of balancing the socio-economic welfare of their state with the pursuit of a sustainable future. With European citizens yearning for stability and long term security, Member States are looking to the EU for guidance. Since Sweden has taken a leading stance in the mission for carbon neutrality, even exceeding the EU Renewable Energy Directive set goal for 2020, it has evolved into a beacon for innovation and sustainability. As an award winning EU “smart city”, Gothenburg has continued to establish an innovative front, with sustainable development and resources at the core of the city’s many infrastructure projects. Looking towards the future, the renewed 2030 energy targets will demand a shift in the current balance of energy sources, a task that cannot be completed without actualising green innovation. A task that cannot be completed unless we start now. The 11th Western Regional EYP Session of Gothenburg 2022 - “Actualising Green Innovation; From innovative ideas, to a sustainable future” strives to encourage the curiosity of young European minds through emphasising the green, innovative and sustainable ideas flourishing within the city.

HEAD ORGANISERS' VISION Stockholm 2022 - 12th Eastern Regional Session of EYP Sweden Strengthening the European identity: the need for solidarity, communication, and peace
The European Union has been consistently tested, thrusting solidarity and intercommunication into light. Economic instability, external critique, and distrust have challenged the principles of our union. However, when our unity was believed to quaver, the member states have come together in persistent accordance with our foundations, showing the strength of European solidarity. With this in mind, we would like to invite the participants of Stockholm 2022 to reflect on the challenges targeting the European Union, consider past criticism of our interconnection, such as Brexit, and discuss the stepping stones of a prosperous future. To highlight this theme, Stockholm 2022 will focus on creating an open and inclusive environment, where all participants are able to freely communicate their ideas with one another. Due to the topic’s complexity, it is important that the issue is approached with a united front and an understanding that potential solutions will be equally complex. The session’s value cannot solely be seen in the final products of the session, but in the journey towards understanding. The European identity is our unified shield against injustice. Injustice, whether in the past, present or future, is a further challenge for us to face together. Together, we define the values of the European Union and pave the path for solidarity, communication and peace.
