Dear participants, During the last five days you might have felt that there is someone who resembles you. Not only identic playlist or shared interests but same ideas, same values, and same life goals. As an EYP session is a perfect hub for colliding outstanding personalites, the vast majority of us finds soulmates exactly here. Some of them shine for only a fortnight, and some continue doing amazing things alongside with us. EYP brought us two together in the August heat exactly two years ago. Since after, we keep trying to create the world around us as we both see it and as we both feel it. Leading the Media Team that we all already adore is just a piece of the large to-do list of two dreamers who firstly met at the session. Now look around. Your soulmate is probaly standing next to you. Although the session is over, we wish you and your Bros. from Dnipro 2016 to continue the path towards the common future! On behalf of Dnipro Bros., Kyrylo and Yulia

Breaking stereotypes by Mariya Vasylyeva (UA)
For some of our International Delegates it was the first time going to Ukraine. And there is no doubt that as soon as they have a chance to get acquainted with the country, stereotypes about it will be either dispelled or proven. Delegates eagerly share their expectations and findings of the first days in Ukraine. Stereotypes: 1. Ukrainian trains are awful and I should have not taken any. In fact, the train I took was of the same quality as in Poland. 2. Soviet culture prevails in Kyiv. Not at all. Kyiv is a marvelous European city. I found it as a good place to live. 3. Ukrainians are not very friendly and are suspicious towards Poles. This stereotype is made by the older generation.
Kszysztof, Poland, 18 y. o. JURI “I have already planned the next visit to Ukraine...�
Findings: 1. Ukrainians put a lot of sour cream in the food. I love sour cream, so I was pretty happy about it. 2. So many people are eager to speak Polish.

Stereotypes: 1. Not many people speak English. In fact, I discovered that Ukrainian youngsters speak English better than English teachers in Italy.
Leonardo, Italy, 20 y. o. IMCO “Ukrainians are willing to make changes in their country...”
Findings: 1. Some parts of Ukraine are not ready for the tourism. 2. Drivers do not really care abo-ut the rules. 3. Varenyky are very similar to ravioli. 4. 70% of Ukrainian girls are beautiful.
Stereotypes: 1. Borsch is one of the most popular dishes in Ukraine. Findings: 1. Ukrainians are united. I was surprised by Ukrainian patriotism. 2. Entering the store and seeing a huge machine with Borjomi made me feel like home. 3. Nineteen restaurants with Georgian cuisine in Dnipro. I guess, we do not have that many even in Tbilisi!
Saba, Georgia, 22 y. o. LIBE II “Ukrainians speak to each other in different languages and still come to understanding”
