TERNOPIL REGIONAL SESSION “EMPOWERING EQUALITY: TODAY’S CHALLENGES” (May 4-6 2018)

For officials, the Session will start 2 days prior, on the 2nd of May since we would like to have 2 days dedicated to the pre-session training. The officials are expected to arrive in Teropil on the 2nd of May before 11:00 EET and the departure may be planned from Ternopil on May 6 18:00 EET​onwards.

Dear applicants,

I am thrilled and honoured to have been given the chance to preside Ternopil 2018. By concentrating on the session theme “Empowering Equality: Today’s Challenges”, I will give my best to allow participants to concentrate on inclusivity, empowerment and academic quality. The European Union is still striving to actively promote equal opportunities, taking due account of both the economic and social aspects. I am sure Ternopil 2018, Regional Session of EYP Ukraine, will be the perfect place to develop innovative approaches to this issue. We are looking for determined and bright individuals, join us!

Ludovica Formicola (IT), President of the Ternopil RS

VISION

Inclusivity One of the key aims for this session is to create a tight-knit group of unique individuals.

This means that we are looking for different personalities and different levels of experience. Challenging ourselves is essential for personal growth and learning from each other is easier in an environment where everyone feels respected and appreciated.

Empowerment Making independent choices boosts our self-confidence. Allowing participants to feel free to try out new approaches and methods is an important goal for Ternopil 2018. We are looking for applicants who are able to share visions and help others develop their skills.

The Vice-Presidents, together with myself, will make sure that the needs and the mood of the Chairs team are always taken into account. This will be the Board’s main objective and the reason why the Vice Presidents will not chair a Committee, but concentrate mainly on the well-being of the team.

Academic Quality Together with EYP Ukraine, we wish to concentrate on quality over quantity. Having eight Chairpersons for four Committee will allow to double efforts for the academic quality of the project. We are planning on optimising time, while maximising the potential of the academic product. Working closely together for a common goal will hopefully give more space to creativity and innovating ideas. Before the start of the session we will have two days of CJO training. This will include the participation of an external trainer, in order to make the training as complete and fruitful as possible.

ZAPORIZHZHIA REGIONAL SESSION “ART OF EQUALITY” (May 11-13)

For officials, the Session will start 2 days prior, on the 9th of May since we would like to have 2 days dedicated to the pre-session training. The officials are expected to arrive in Zaporizhzhia on the 9th of May before 11:00 EET and the departure may be planned from Zaporizhzhia on May 13 18:00 EET​onwards.

Dear applicants, I see the role of a president as someone who ensures that every participant is happy before, during and after the session. And that will be my main aim in Zaporizhia. Meeting under the topic of “art of equality” we will seek to create truly safe environment for you to debate global issues and to work on your soft-skills.

So please dare to be yourself. Dare to be yourself with us in Zaporizhia.

Anna Švecová (CZ), President of Zaporizhzhia RS

VISION During this regional selection conference we will introduce EYP to new participants as well as work on personal development of the officials team. We will be looking for a very diverse team (even regarding experience). I promise you fair selection where we won't look at names or gender. Experience will play a secondary role.

The aim of the leadership team should be to create one big officials team. We will work on inter-team communication and basically ensure that every individual in the team has space to develop and is happy. We are going to have pre-session leadership training and deliver training to the team.

Academical quality of the session and personal development will be delivered through two days of officials training at the session. We will ensure that we have cross-team training.

President is the leader of officials team. The vice-presidents are going to be the leaders of the chairs team. Editors and Editorial Assistants lead the Media Team. Head of Jury can also have the position of the Head trainer at the session.

And how do I see my role? My main job before, during and after the session is to ensure that every individual’s needs are heard and met. I want to create safe space that will be the ground for personal development. I want everyone to be happy and I am here to look after my team.

If you find this concept tempting, please join me and Dania on the leadership team of Zaporizhia Regional Selection Conference.
