Dearest alumni,

Hereby you are invited to the 8th alumni weekend of EYP the Netherlands. It promises to be a great weekend, full of socializing, activities and fun! More importantly however, it will be a weekend where you will get the chance to develop your skills. In the light of the upcoming Preliminary Rounds, National Selection Conference and other EYP events on an international level, a chairs’ training will take place this weekend, in order to prepare you, alumni, for these sessions. Experienced EYPers from all over Europe will give trainings suitable for both younger and older alumni.

The weekend will take place in the beautiful town of Blaricum. The town and its surroundings are known for its beautiful nature, but more importantly for the huge amount of famous Dutch inhabitants. So, next to the interesting and very instructive trainings, you might even spot a superstar!

I hope you are all just as excited as I am for the upcoming Alumni Weekend!

We hope to see as many of you there!
