WORD OF WELCOME

Dear Alumni,

Welcome to the 11th Alumni Weekend of EYP the Netherlands. We are

starting off a new year with a very promising event. The spring Alumni

Weekend is meant to get to know each other and the new alumni better.

This weekend puts its focus on socialising, teambuilding and reconnect-

ing with all the alumni. The weekend will take place at one of our old

locations in Austerlitz. The Houtduif will be our hosts again this year and

although many of you might have been here already, we hope we can

create even more wonderful memories. If you haven’t applied yet I can

only hope you do so very quickly. If you have any questions after reading

this booklet do not hesitate to get in touch with Myrna.van.dijk@eyp.nl

I’m very excited for the upcoming weekend and look forward to seeing

all of you there.

On behalf of the board of EYP NL,

Myrna van Dijk

Alumni Coordinator

ACCOMODATION AND INFORMATION

As mentioned before we will be staying at ‘De Houtduif’ in Austerlitz,

Utrecht. We have acess to the building itself and the entire area surround-

ing it to our disposal. All our activities during the day will take place at the

accommodation and therefore we request that you do not suddenly leave

the area without notice. This so we know where everyone is and we are able

to move on with the schedule during the weekend. The arrival time will be

around 16.00 - 18.00 on Friday 6th of March. We would like to request ev-

eryone to arrive on time. Dinner will be served around 18.00. If there is any

reason you won’t be able to make it before 18.00 and you would stil like

dinner, or later than 20.00, please send me an email or a text. This won’t be

necessary for alumni that have already mentioned it in their sign-up form.

THEME AND PROGRAMME

This weekend will not only consist out of relaxing, teambuilding and do-

ing several activities, but will also present the opportunity for the newest

alumni to get familiar with the procedures of the EU and of EYP. There

will be a short introduction on how the organisation works, how you will

be updated about upcoming sessions, how to apply for future events

and sessions and much more. On Sunday we will also have our Annual Meeting where the new board will be introduced and there will be time

to discuss anything about the previous year or present ideas for the up-

coming year.

As you may have noticed this Alumni Weekend has a mystery theme

which will be the red thread through all our activities. Saturday afternoon

we will play an amazing game of Living Cluedo and Stratego, which will

require teamwork and some amazing detective skills. The Alumni Com-

mittee is working hard to create these games and we have high hopes

for them.

On saturday night we will have our most famous theme party. In corre-

spondence with our overall theme, the night theme will be Cops and Villains. Dress up as your favorite childhood cop or scare everyone with

your new look . Time to get your crazy and best outfit and impress all of

us. We will have a small surprise for the person with the best costume.
