Vision for the EYP Ukraine Spring Regional Sessions 2016 The World of 2016 is very different than the last. Environmentally, 2015 saw The United Nations World Meteorological Organisation announcing that it was the hottest year on record in our time. Globally, we saw approximately 42 armed conflicts, a high number of casualties, internally displaced persons and the refugee crisis. Medically, the development of Liquid Biopsy meant that Fast DNAsequencing machines are leading to simple blood tests for cancer. In the current world that we live in, technological advancements, environmental change as well as global conflicts are shaping our future and our present. The World We Live In needs to be addressed and understood, and our 4 Regional Sessions will look to build on how things are for us now. How to apply? Each regional session will host an international team of officials. You can apply as Vice-President or Chairperson. You can apply for multiple sessions and positions. Below you can find a composition that we aim at. Changes to the composition may occur.

ÂŤGlancing at the at the upcoming session, I expect to have a team of dedicated individuals who, regardless of their knowledge and experience, are starving to take a solid dive into another EYP session. It shall be my sterling pleasure to be accompanied by a team who are burning with intensive energy elicited by the starving minds. I want to be surrounded by people who firmly believe in their ideals and and are eager to put another brick in constructing the world they have designed and envisioned for themselves. With people of a kind I will gleefully set sails together to a magnificent Cherkassy RS!Âť - Dmytro
LUTSK 7th - 10th April
«Have you ever wondered what is it that makes a group of people effectively and productively work as a team? The key ingredient of successful teamwork is having a shared vision of what you want to achieve and how you want to achieve it. The Regional Session in Lutsk, which is, by the way, twinned with my hometown - Toruń, will provide opportunities for everyone to challenge themselves and help others grow. Ukraine is a wonderful country where magical things (like me learning how to read cyrillic) happen on a daily basis, which is why I believe our team will experience immense amounts of fun and create a unique atmosphere of mutual respect with no superiority. Don’t miss your chance, Lutsk is waiting for you!» - Klara

«5th Interrail of EYP UA taught me that the best way to enjoy a session is not knowing what to expect, nor what will happen next. But there are still few things you can expect from this session ; support, focusing on self-development and lots of fun! I’m really looking forward to reading your application, hearing what you have to say, and creating an amazing team spirit throughout the session. If you want to be surprised and push back your limits, now is time to apply for Sumy Regional Session» - Sophia

««Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.» - Benjamin Spock How much do you think you know about chairing? Write that down so you could compare your old list to the one you can make after chairing at the regional session in Odessa – I promise you the new list will be much longer. What you don’t know yet can be learned with the help of the rest of our friendly and supportive chairs team. You will get the chance to learn from each other and try out new techniques to take your skills to the next level. Fun challenges in springtime Odessa are waiting for you!» - Terje
