Welcome Booklet 12th Alumni weekend EYP The Netherlands in Delft
Dearest Alumni, I want to be the very best, like no one ever was. Keeping alumni happy is my real test, to train them is my cause! Now that it’s safe to say autumn has arrived in all its rainy glory, it’s time to come together and share in the warmth and comfort of one of Delft’s finest venues! It’s time for the 12th Alumni Weekend of EYP the Netherlands. In line with tradition, the autumn weekend focuses on training, rather than just socializing, so this weekend will be your opportunity to venture in the worlds of being a chair or journo by following modules from highly experienced alumni. Attending the training weekend is great way to prepare yourself to attend future events as an official. Speaking of future events, the preliminary rounds kick off less than a month after the weekend, so you might be able to put your newly acquired skills to use sooner than you think! But, let’s not get ahead of myself. This wouldn’t be a proper EYP NL Alumni weekend without time to reunite, hang out and (theme)party as well, so expect all that and more! We cannot wait to see you all again. On behalf of the board, Midas
Training weekend As you may now, this alumni weekend is a training weekend, and it will focus mainly on chairing, but will include media and organising modules as well. You will have the opportunity to learn all the tips and tricks you need to become a great official. To make sure the weekend is productive for everyone, the participants will be split up into groups based on experience in The first group will focus on introducing participants to chairing in EYP, whereas the second group will give the opportunity to more experienced alumni to further develop their skills. Taking into consideration that we will focus on more than just chairs training, the groups can differ per topic or position we will be focusing on.
