Dear delegate,
EDITORIAL
right now you are holding the very first issue of the VIRIDIAN in your hands, congratulations! Our team of journalists will accompany you throughout the session and display each of your major steps and achievements in this very paper. You now might be curious about the title of our little magazine and what its meaning might be. VIRIDIAN is a special shade of green that we associate with nostalgia and the forest. The most striking reason for our paper to be named after a green hue however, is the environmentally friendly touch of this session. Our goal is it to remind you what a nice colour green is and that all your debates within those days have the aim to secure its existence on our planet. You will find that the articles in this issue are mostly dealing with your committee topics. Take them as an inspiration, consider the opinion of your session journalists and try to look at the topic from a new angle. But most of all, between all those serious talks and discussions, don’t forget to have heaps of fun! yours faithfully, Nicole Goetz & Moira Lanters

from the president Dear Delegates,
Welcome! My name is Jonathan and I will be your president for the session in lovely Subotica. I am very excited to be here since it is my first time in Serbia, and my first time as a president. So not only am I excited, but also a bit nervous. And filled with expectation. You know the feeling when your fingers tingle and you just can’t hide your excitement because what you are doing is just so very cool? Well, that is the feeling I have and I hope you feel it too. Or that it finds you during the coming days! For me, this is part of what it means to be an EYPer: having a tingling sensation of expectation in my fingers! But there are many more parts and it is my hope that you will experience as many as possible during the coming four days. The theme of the session is, as I am sure most of you are aware, “Empowering the New Generation”. Guess what? That is YOU my friends! Now, you might ask yourself: “well if I’m part of the new generation, then how am I going to be empowered?” The answer to that question is simple: by becoming awesome! If you after this session have to sum up your experience in one word I hope that it will be: Awesome! As we proceed, things will become more clear, so fear not if you are unsure of what this EYP-business and all this empowering is all about. And fear not if you are nervous. Remember the tingling fingers! One thing that is awesome is the environment, but only when it is green and not filled with human garbage. This is why a fundamental aspect of the session theme is environmental sustainability. Most of the committee topics relate in some way to this and various elements of the session-organisation are environmentally friendly thanks to the work of the lovely - and awesome! - head-organisers. If you see them, give them a hug! (The other organisers appreciate hugs as well.) Yes, I am a vegetarian. I know that some people in Serbia find this a bit strange, but my vegetarianism is strongly related to the session theme and if you want to know why please ask me. This goes for anything and everything: being president means being here for you and ensuring that the session is – guess what? – absolutely awesome! I hope that you enjoy the coming days as much as I am sure I will and may they be filled with excitement and adventure! Your President, Jonathan Ellis Maerker 4

Working hard, or hardly working? How the changing labour market complicates employment opportunities
Titus Verster , EMPL
Whereas picking a career used to be really easyBack in the days, picking career was really easy. - Ssons would work at their father’s companies or take over their jobs, and daughters would marry a good man and become a housewife and a mother. Nowadays - getting a job has become much harder. The economic crisies undoubtedly 6
played a big role in this process, but another important factor in this ever-growing problem is the radical change of the labour market. This is an aspect the European Union should not overlook while trying to improve the employment rate within its borders, and the economy on the whole.
The changes in the nature of the labour market can be seen
very clearly in manufacturing. This disciplineManufacturing has given away its position as the major employer of youth to primarily the service sector at a tremendous pace. The percentage of youth working in manufacturing has dropped from 24 to 8 percent in the past 30 years, whereas a growth of nearly 20 per cent has been seen in different other sectors, such as business services and the public sector. The driving force behind this process has been the rise of em-
ployment in ‘knowledge-based’ services. In a little over 40 years the percentage of youth working in knowledge-intensive services has risen from 30 to 50 per cent. As a result of that, the number of high-skilled and highwage jobs has grown rapidly. The criteria for employment h a v e therefore changed too, which can very clearly be seen with the increasing importance of soft-skills, such as teamwork and problem solving. In a recent survey held in the UK, 71 per cent out of 150 asked employers stated social and soft skills as an important quality., along with team working skills and problem-solving skills. Due to the changes in the labour market, qualifications and education have also become decisive factors in the employment process. Graduates appear to earn a significantly higher wage depending on their qualifications. However, the group of people without any qualifications has grown to
nearly 30 per cent. For them finding a job is becoming more and more difficult, and when they are employed they are less likely to to grow by either getting a raise or a promotion. The same problemThis process of banishingshutting out less educated people also involves the aforementioned importance of social skills, resulting in an exclusion from the labour market of people with less developed soft skills. An issue that also can be seen is the so-called ‘hollowing out’ of the labour market. Apart from the employment growth in highskilled jobs, the lower wage service occupations have also seen major growth in the past two decades. These two processes, combined with the decreasing amount of middle-wage jobs, have caused another problem: the so-called ‘hollowing out’ of the labour marketthis ‘hollowing-out’. Due to this ‘employment polarisation’ and the smaller amount of jobs with mo-
“I
will not have the same job as my father does, nor will my sisters
just be housewives.”
derate wages, a situation was created where one often has to choose between high and low-paid jobs, often resulting in the latter because of the lack of qualifications. Another example of the changing labour market is the skill shortage or skill deficiency in the practical work fields such as IT, mechanics and construction. For example, 800.000 nurses are needed in Europe, and there is a shortage of 300.000 truck drivers. Germany has already taken steps to solve this problem, with its so-called dual system. About 1,5 million Germans are trained annually through a system of apprenticeships. Resulting in the lowest level of youth unemployment in Europe and a sufficient way of filling as many jobs as possible. Times have changed, and so has the labour market. These changes heavily influenced the employment rates in Europe and the rest of the world. I will not have the same job as my father does, nor will my sisters just be housewives, but what profession will we choose? Should we choose a specific job for the sake of its availability? Will we find a job at all? In the search of a solution to the current economic problems it is important to not just look at the current state of the labour market, but also to keep in mind and anticipate to its recent and expected developments.

Looks like due to the crisis Economy is going through, it’s asking for a five-minute break to revive. That means Environment will have to wait for Economy to repair. The crowd is going mad. One side is for the stable climate, while the other one is for the economic growth. We can somehow manage to combine both and calm the crowd down, but how? In my opinion the logic is fairly simple: we need a strong Economy in order to make the right investments in renewable energy technologies to make them affordable and publically acceptable. While waiting for the other contestant to build up, Environment has time to think about the foundations for the flora of the future. Yet, the match is still not over. How the outcome of this highly dramatic battle will look like is up to you!
It’s a trap! How we are getting more and more tangled up in a bureaucratic web. Brent van Beethoven, TRAN II
Going through documents concerning the ecological aspect of tourism, I discovered that the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) is not the only organisation that was founded to help acquiring a level of tourism that can be maintained over the long term. There are not just a few more, there are quite a lot more. In just twenty minutes of searching, I stumbled upon dozens of governmental and non-governmental organisations. That begs the question: how can we really solve this issue, with such a cluster of organisations already existing?
To solve this problem, I think we need to reflect on the following two problems: Firstly, with the creation of another European organisation, we force ourselves deeper into a bureaucratic trap. Then there is the second problem of contributing to the promotion and impact of these initiatives. Will we promote all the initiatives, or will we only promote a selected group? One option is to create a central body that controls all the different initiatives, but that would mean that it would have to control

Highway to a surpassing panorama
Serbia’s way to a better transport infrastructure
Simonida Milutinovic, TRAN I
Đ?ll great changes must begin with small steps. As far as transport in Serbia goes we need to improve the existing infrastructure by creating a more environmentally friendly system. At the moment the country uses outdated means of transport and therefore it takes a great amount of effort to reach our goal of a modernised transport system. 10
It is extremely important to use the means we have in the best way possible in order to ensure that Serbia reaches international criteria, bearing in mind that it is one of the most important crossroads between Europe and Asia.
the economic differences and factors alike. According to surveys conducted in Europe, transport in Serbia has been rated as one of the worst. In my opinion the transport inside the cities is pretty decent to say at least, but there is room for improvement. I believe we should not replace but merely improve the It is quite understandable that tram and bus system in Belgrade people are not satisfied with the and implement it in other cities as transport system, because the con- well that are not as developed in cept is not as developed as in coun- means of transport as the capital. tries as Germany or France due to Vintage green and red trams are
one of the most authentic things about Belgrade so I wouldn’t want for them to be exchanged for urban machines but it would be better to make them more eco-friendly and make their whole system more punctual and faster while keeping their recognizable charm. The way in which the Serbian government approaches this area lacks innovation and most of all: initiative. There have been talks about starting a metro system for years, yet, although plans have been laid out no progress has been made. Understanding that it takes time and money to fulfil this idea I think it is crucial to start in the near future. The establishment of a metro would enhance the freedom of movement in the city and provide easier access to any destination of choice. If I was asked to describe Serbian railways and the buses that transport people across the country, I wouldn’t have anything to say but the worst. Buses that are not only old and poorly maintained
but also big polluters. In my mind there is no other solution but for them to be replaced as soon as possible. Due to the economic crisis this could be very difficult. Japan, Spain and Switzerland amongst other countries have donated new means of transport to the capital and a lot of donations are still arriving so I believe it would be wise to use these to replace the bus system between cities that yearns for a change. The donations themselves are improving our relations with other countries and in the mean time help us solve problems that we face when it comes to transport across Serbia. The railway system in Serbia is in a way underestimated. A lot of railways have been forgotten and are simply not used any more. When it comes to this we find ourselves facing a vicious circle that poses the question: “Is the railway system not being used because it is in poor state? Or is it in such a state because it hasn’t been used?”
“Is the railway system not being used because it is in poor state? Or is it in such a state because it hasn’t been used?”
Trains themselves are slow and not taken care of as they start to surrender to the effects of time and neglect. But first things first, all of the railways should be cleared out and train stations should be revived again in every city and town. The Danube is one of the greatest rivers in Europe and we are blessed to have it run through our country but yet our governments have not used it to its full potential. In reality it has barely been used except for touristic purposes. Profits that Serbia could gain from the Danube, such as the transportation of goods would be an incredible boost to the economical situation in the country. As we find ourselves in time of economic tension and changes waiting for innovators who will put them into action, Serbia finds itself in a perfect time to set that example with the improvement of its transport infrastructure reaching its potential to be a modern and significant crossroads between the two worlds that are Europe and Asia.

What the Earth eats or rather... What eats the Earth? “Meat is just food, it has no real value; The Earth does.�
Ana Maria Croitoru, ENVI
Today I read that 29% of the EU Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions come from the food industry and 60% of that comes from the meat industry alone. Tomorrow I might read that the percentage has changed and reached 70-80% or more and I will feel that I did nothing to change that. So, what do I have to do the next time I go into a super-market and decide to buy something that I could eat or consume? Most people would go for just meat and will never think of making a balance between vegetables and meat in order to save a bit of what we call Earth.
But why am I concerned about how the meat consumption affects us and other creatures on Earth? At a first glance it might seem that there is no connection between the two of them, but actually it is more than I ever would have thought. At a global scale it has been estimated that livestock contribute, directly and indirectly, to about 9% of total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, 37% of methane emissions and 65% of nitrous oxide emissions. The nitrous oxide released 12
by fertilizers and animal manure, is the most potent of the greenhouse gases that cause climate change; the UN’s climate body has called for deep cuts to those emissions but this this is just the first step towards the reduction of the environmentally harmful factors. There needs to be more done about it. Some experts estimate that if every person in the world ate 50 g of red meat and 40 g of white meat per day by 2050, greenhouse gas emissions from meat production would stabilize at 2005 level. Fact is, that meat consumption has highly increased in the past 50 years and shows no hint of reduction and is only the people and their strength and determination that could change the results of this statistics by consuming meat alternatives. You could easily eat crops like corn, wheat and soy beans, as well as artificial
meat, instead of meat; not only it would bring less harmful to the climate change but they are also tasty and healthy for your body. The director of the Woods Hole Research Centre in Massachusetts, Eric Davidson, said that going vegetarian or vegan is not a solution and he claims that changes in the daily diet by reducing meat quantity is a solution. Then, however, I found this article of a journalist that brought a fair approach to what extent meat consumption affects the Earth. He believes that going vegetarian for 7 days is the same as taking all cars off the U.S. roads, 5 days is the same as planting 13 billion trees and letting them grow for 10 years and 2 days is like replacing all household appliances with energy efficient ones. This vegetarian fact sheet written by the journalist Jonan Weinhofen might sound funny at first but it gave me the opportunity to see clear how much the meat production and consumption affects the Earth. We are the sum of our decision and the Earth is a consequence of how we act. If I can step forward and make a difference by reducing the meat consumption regarding my daily meals, so can you and so can the entire world. Meat is just food, it has no real value; the Earth does.
To be, or not to be in the EU? Yellow is yellow, blue is blue, will Serbia get these colours too?
Nina Rajovic, AFET
Serbia, being a country that has been through decades of war, political tension and economic instability, is at a time when is yearning for improvement. In the last few years it has been a priority of the government to insure that Serbia becomes a modernized and democratic country so that one day it is able to match up to other European countries in terms of stability and innovation. So as to achieve these targets certain activities that lie
ahead of our country, including raising public awareness about efforts that our country is making on implementing its goals, could be a possible solution. Encouraging and promoting public thinking through different debates helps influencing the progress of society. Efforts to resolve major issues arise from the desire to overcome all obstacles in order to achieve better society. It is necessary to emphasize the selfless help of others, and the European Union in the process of achieving their goals. Improving the health of the population by investing in medicine, promotion of gender equality,
protection and enhancement of the environment by informing people through media are just some of general guidelines for improving initiated reforms in Serbia. Recognizing Kosovo as independent is vital for the future regional integration and cooperation. What Serbia needs to do is to cooperate with representatives of the people from Kosovo and Metohija in order to improve several respects. First of all, it is more
This means that it is necessary to strengthen the Nongovernmental organizations sector (civil society) in different directions. Also, it is necessary to support the media, the above mentioned activities and include some financial help and support that should be continuous, which means that its source must be stable. As far as the possible influence of Serbia on other countries is concerned, a lot of initiatives are possible to be picked up in order to motivate countries that still remain undeveloped in sectors like economy or industry. By that means, Serbia will gradually become a role model, not just for them but also throughout the Europe. Achieving these goals will require much work and sacrifice, changing deeply ingrained habits and commitment of holders of state officials, so as representatives of civil society. People say that if you want something, you need to get it on your own . And that is exactly what Serbia needs to do. However, we don’t know what the future may hold. Where will we be in the future depends entirely on us.
“Is the railway system not being used because it is in poor state? Or is it in such a state because it hasn’t been used?” a c tive participation policy (government sector) aimed at the recognition of these relationships. Then, it is necessary to create conditions within civil society, aimed at improving ethnic relations disrupted.

Europe’s fossil fuel dependency
The big shift in energy might not be what you think
Eleni Giannouli, ITRE
Sadly enough, during the last decade it is most obvious that people have been paying too much attention to domains such as economics, while forgetting the importance of problems concerning industry and its impact on the environment. As long as we are Europeans, we should all be motivated for a change by the fact that, according to 14
statistics, 80% of Europe’s oil and 60% of its gas comes from abroad. At the same time, another fact that should be taken into consideration is that only 25% of Europe’s energy is predicted to come from alternative energy recourses. The most significant natural source of energy is in fact oil. It has the largest market share of energy compared to
any other fuel, although this ratio decreases. Oil demand is constantly increasing, especially in the transport sector. For this reason a crisis in oil supply will no doubt be the most difficult to curb than any other cut of fossil fuels. As already known, Europe imports about 80% of the oil it consumes. Despite the fact that the percentage of impor-
