Head Organisers` Vision Dear potential applicant, We are thankful for your interest to join us in shaping Cherkasy Regional Session! The EYP Ukraine umbrella topic for this year is “Laying a strong foundation for a sustainable society�. We give freedom to the Session President to develop the session`s umbrella topic and committee topics together with the Chairs` Team. The President is also expected to take care of the academic aspect of the event at all stages.
Apart from this, there are some ideas we would like to underline:
The session`s participants’ physical and mental wellbeing Everyone is put under high pressure in today`s world. It might be especially difficult to focus on proper work-rest balance during the session due to various commitments and fear of missing out. People can feel overwhelmed, stressed, and nervous. Considering this, we want the session`s leadership to work on the common vision, suggest ideas, and fulfill quality pre-session preparation to minimize the amount of stress both for officials and delegates.
The President for everyone We aim to make this event an inclusive environment where everyone can feel welcome and included. That`s why we are looking for a person who would be able to add to this vision to the fullest. That includes being comfortable with facilitating not only the work of the respective Chairs` Team but all the participants’ involvement and success.Â
Sustainability is a key Taking into account the EYP Ukraine`s Vision, we strive to maintain the sustainability of the session. We see a lot of possibilities to do this and hope for fruitful cooperation amongst leadership to come as close to this goal as possible. Tonia and Oksana, Head Organisers of Cherkasy RS
