Welcome Words from the Academic Board

By organising this session we want to raise awareness about the current processes, explore its benefits and observe threats. We see digitalisation as a huge opportunity to strengthen the EYP community. We wish that during the session everybody feels the sense of belonging. Furthermore, we aspire to make everybody feel welcomed. Our aim is to confirm everyone’s belief that this is the right place at the right time. Crucial part of our vision is appreciating each other. Moreover, we intend to focus on each individual, their work and personality.

Love, Head Organisers of Kielce RSC 2021, Magdalena Kwiecień & Aleksandra Niemiec

Dearest Officials, Delegates, and participants, dear everyone,

Whether this is your first time embarking on the EYP journey as a delegate or your hundredth time as an official, we hope that Kielce RSC will offer you something unique, that it will allow you to explore a different perspective and create something meaningful. For the past month, we have been working tirelessly on every aspect of this session, pouring all our love and energy into making this experience meaningful and impactful for all of you. To us, the Kielce RSC represents a constant search for balance: between development and enjoyment, between progress and reflection, among all the things happening in these uncertain times.

To help you make the most of this experience, we have one thing to ask: take ownership over this experience and ensure that it will mean something for you! We encourage you to view Kielce as a safe space for the exchange of ideas and opinions, as a welcoming environment of receptiveness and understanding. The Board and the Academic team as a whole will always be there to support your experimentation and your creativity; if there is anything that we can do to enhance your session experience, please let us know and we will be happy to help you out. Do not hesitate to contact us at any point during the session for further help or guidance; we are

looking forward to seeing your smiling faces and to warmly welcome you on Zoom! In doing so, we are all embodying the theme of the session that brought us together: we are using all the innovative digital tools at our disposal to create a unique sense of togetherness.

As you are getting introduced to the passionate individuals behind the Kielce RSC, you may find it hard to believe that a few days in front of your computer can be so impactful. Still, we ask you to take some time to count the smiles, the sleepless nights, the texts of gratitude, and the bursts of excitement that have gone into making this experience so unique and meaningful. We are here to provide you with the space for your creativity; it is up to you to decide what to create with this and how to reflect on the memories we will build together.

Having seen the hard work behind the preparation of the Kielce RSC, all that is left to say now is that we are grateful to everyone that decided to join us in achieving this shared goal, in exploring the elements that help us create a sense of community and togetherness in this digital era. We cannot wait to meet you all digitally and we hope you are as excited as we are to make this session a reality!

With great excitement and gratitude, The Board of Kielce RSC 2021, Kuba, Monica, Raphael
