And, finally we are happy to announce that the call for organisers of the 77th International Session of the European Youth Parliament is officially out! We together with our Core Team have been working for 13 months. Many important things have already been done, yet different milestones are to be completed in the upcoming 9 months. Organising such a large scale event on a high level is definitely not an easy task, and it requires certain level of commitment. However, it offers one an opportunity for a personal growth too. Today we are ready to begin this mutually beneficial cooperation and help all the team-members to reach their personal goals while making Kyiv 2014 a success. We look for 15+ talented EYPers who are ready to commit themselves to one of the greatest events EYP-Ukraine has ever held. We offer you to join an organising team where one can experience a real professional environment, discover their talents and gain inestimable experience valuable in and outside of the EYP world. We seek to create an enjoyable and developing atmosphere for all the organisers. However, we do expect something in return: commitment, selfdiscipline and mutual respect. Being an organiser also entails complying with certain practicalities:
ability to devote at least 5 hours of your free time weekly to organising duties; ability to attend at least two 2-day organising meetings in March 2014 and September 2014;
