EYP Sweden - Call for National Session | 2

Dear Applicants, It is my pleasure to announce the call for organisers for the 11th National Session of EYP Sweden The session is taking place in Umeå between the 13th and 16th of March with officials arriving one day prior the session on the 12th of March.

Together with the President Irem Tümer, Head of Jury Dorothea Weber and Editor Janne Vanhemmens the 11th National Session of EYP Sweden aims to inspire and encourage the next generation of EYPers attending our session. My vision for the organising team is not only to keep the highest organisational standard possible, but also to give new EYPers insight in the opportunities and work organisers do. This is to make sure the delegates leave Umeå with an understanding of all the different roles EYP has and an inspiration to further stay in EYP. This session will also be a great opportunity to learn and further develop your own organising style, with the theme “Sustaining our Future” and also the initiative to be the first Eco-Session of EYP Sweden the organisers will have to tackle new organisational problems and work in new ways to balance out the environmental aspect.

Attending the session is also a chance to visit the lovely city of Umeå!

On behalf on the organising committee, we are looking forward to reading all of your applications and we hope to see you in Umeå in March!

/Emil Juslin Head Organiser of the 11th National Session of EYP Sweden

Session Vision, “Sustaining our future� aims to raise awareness of the common challenges our generation faces in creating a sustainable future.

What can the world, the European Union and the European youth do to tackle problems like the global warming? While tackling these issues, the participants will also work together creating the future of Europe, a sustainable world and thus set common goals for our generation to build upon, and shape a world we can, and want to, live in.

The 11th National Session of EYP Sweden aims to make Sweden youths reflect over their future, their problems and how they can affect and change their challenging situation together. Moreover, the 11th National Session of EYP Sweden also is the 1st Eco-session of EYP. The 1st Eco-session will focus on creating an environmental friendly session with a focus on how small changes can make big differences. The Eco-session will include workshops for all participants, knowledge sharing prior, during and after the session through social media and an environmental focus on the session material and logistics.
