EYP EXPLAINED PED GA CW Acronym for Post EYP Depression. Commonly suffered by all those present at a session: including organisers, chairs, Media Team Members, editrs but it is the delegates who usually experience it most intensely. “I cannot return to normality after my amazing experience at #Lux15. The PED is so intense right now”
Journalists, Organisers for building a team cannot be underestimated” and Jury Members. “One day I want to be part Acronym for General of the CJOJ team” Assembly. Acronym for Committee “I learned more in one day of GA than I have in Work. “I think it’s fair to say my whole school career” that CW was the highlight of the session, and will continue to inspire me well into the future”

The food is too good. EYP Lux has too many sponsors. The ‘hostel’ is too much like a hotel. The orgas are too nice to everyone. The media team is given too many resources. The school is too big. The session is ONLY 4 days. The venues are too fancy. Luxembourgians are too diverse. The wine is too cheap (free).
EYP PICK UP LINES
colour the president!
HAVE YOU MET ANNA?
Anna Borrell Mauri, the President of Luxembourg 2015, tells us something more about the session and her perception of EYP. EYP, development, fun, future. Anna, how would you connect these concepts together? I would say that during EYP sessions I have developed in myself as a citizen as well as on a personal level. In the meantime I managed to have fun, really a lot of
fun. My future, I must admit, is quite unclear now; between my studies and EYP it is difficult to find the time to figure everything out. From a general perspective, everyone involved in EYP contributes to a common future, even by sharing small things among friends, from a coffee chat to the act of voting. What was Anna like as a first time delegate? I was extremely shy, I was not that proficient in English, but I still managed to have so much fun. For the first time I felt I could be myself. Back at my first session in Barcelona in 2009 I had the opportunity to meet new people, who have become really good friends of mine during my years in EYP. What about the same Anna, presiding now? Now I feel much more confident, I would not
hesitate to speak up and I am quite a bit more knowledgeable compared to 6 years ago. I can walk into a room and know what a topic is all about and how things actually work. This also makes me feel more confident. You got some Baltic Power to help you coordinate everything, right? The Baltic Power, well, both my VPs are quite experienced and have both the brains and the looks (*laughs*). They are two cute, blond and very supportive guys so that is basically why I went for them. If you were to be pictured, which colours would you pick? I like to depict myself as quite a colourful person. So I would go with purple, green and blue, which are actually cold tones but at the same time powerful ones.

WHY CONTINUE WITH EYP? I continued with EYP simply because it is an organisation that brings together so many people that are alike. It is nice spending time with people who are like me and with whom I can have really good conversations.

In EYP each individual feels something that no one can explain. Despite being part of a group of people you identify with, you also know that you are special. I continued because of the experiences and memories that you never forget. Every youngster should do EYP! You learn a lot of things that you do not learn in school. You learn how to understand people, to accept other people’s mind-sets, about other cultures and you make unforgettable memories.
PAU PAU
Every session shakes you up, changes you, binds you with like-minded people. That is something that I really value in this organization. Also‌ the ability to explore Europe and find a proper husband! You have high chances of finding a partner that is good-looking, smart, socially active and who aims to achieve something in his life.

MATHIEU LOHR
I was a pretty good delegate during my first session, but then I choked during GA. So I promised myself that I would continue until I was the best. I always try to achieve 120%, but you never get there. You may get 70, or 80. I continued simply because I am stupid‌ Also, there are pretty girls in EYP!
EYP presents me with an opportunity to continuously challenge myself and to grow from the experiences, while at the same time enabling myself to give these experiences back to other people. I see a snowball effect happening: you have a delegate one day, you see him becoming a chair and he will impact other people. And that snowball effect is beautiful to observe. And still I get so much from this organisation. I do not see why I would leave it any time soon! 7
HOW TO BE A GOOD... We asked the officials Jury what is required to be good in their role, read “There are a number below for their invaluable of things you learn at Jury Academy, like how wisdom… to appear scary to the delegates, literally petrify them. You must eat some Vice-President “…*silence ensues*… chocolate and drink some first of all you have to coffee. Sending kisses to know what to say… you my fans.” Haris Kušmić need to be really quick with your answers… and “Be awake. Be terrifying. be really smart” Dan Grinevics Be pretty.” Josh Leyden “Always smile, be sexy and be nice to the President because she can make life Media Team Member pretty difficult.” Paulius Dovidavicius “All the clichés: creativity, team spirit and positivity” Yannick Louwerse

Editr “You have to have a passion for what you do, believe in your team and most importantly yourself. Trust people, but always have a Plan B. Also, if you ever plan to co-edit a session – pick your coworker wisely! If you do, your work will be a real pleasure, just as it is now in Luxembourg.” Giedrė Kazokaitė
“Allowing your camera to “Be prepared. For become an extension of anything. For fights, for your body” Ali Okumuşoğlu tears, for the weirdest questions you’ll ever be asked, for late nights, for early mornings, for long Organiser days, for hours staring at a laptop screen and for “Coffee, red bull, oreos, one of the most rewarding cookies, cake, chocolate challenges you can take on and support I think… in EYP #JustChairThings hugs…a lot of hugs and love” xoxo” “Be creative, sociable Sara Freixo and love what you do. Anna Nichols There is no better feeling “…Mmmmhm I don’t…I “A good orga should than seeing people getting don’t know…you just told always hug people, make emotional because of me I am a really bad chair” them happy, ask if they work you have created.” Tuusa Eriksson are happy and if they are Kristine Fainveica
