Let’s plan the trip!

Dear participant, It is my honour and pleasure to welcome you to experience EYP in Krakow in May. The organisers have been working dedicatedly to make the session happen and arrange for all the details we’ll be able to enjoy during the five days in Krakow. The session will gather participants not only from Poland but also from Europe beyond that. This to show the diversity and the richness of the continent we inhabit and will make our experience even more fascinating. The days will be full of possibilities to gain new knowledge about European issues and discuss current questions with other young EYPers. Seven years after the biggest enlargement of the European Union will be the central theme throughout the session and I believe EYP is a wonderful forum for discussing the recent phenomena.

My own story of being born in Bosnia and growing up in Sweden is a testimony to the European integration; and I look forward to hearing all your stories and experiences. As much as EYP is about personal development, it offers moreover an environment for making lifelong friends and become inspired by different people from different backgrounds. Many of you will probably be reunited with old friends but also make new ones. We will work, but also have fun. We will learn, but also play. A mixture that for me makes EYP an addiction. I advise you - already now - to use all the possibilities EYP has to offer you. Observe, learn from and adjust to what you see and experience. The success of the session lies within you and your willingness to have an open attitude. The further you go, the more you and others gain. I look forward to meeting all of you! Nedim Malovic

EYP Session in Krakow

Ladies and gentlemen!

On behalf of the organising team I’m happy to

announce that the 17th Regional Session of EYP

Poland will take place in the amazing city of

Krakow between 6th and 10th May!

It’s hard to believe but last regional session was

held in Krakow as long ago as in 2009. So,

after almost 2 years we are BACK. We are back

with great people, enthusiasm, fresh ideas, great

President Mr Nedim Malovic from Sweden and… the 17TH

REGIONAL SESSION as the final product! Krakow,

the royal city with a great history, breathtaking

monuments, loads of tourists and hospitable

inhabitants, is the city with enormous potential and

now you have a chance to feel it! It is the second

biggest city in Poland, but the first when it comes

to ambience ;) Have you known that we have the

largest market square in whole Europe? Have you

ever heard that around the market we have the

biggest amount of pubs and clubs? Should I add

anything else to convince you to come to Krakow?

Probably not, so if you would like to taste the

atmosphere of our beautiful city, APPLY!

The umbrella topic of the session is “7 years after

the biggest enlargement of the European Union”. We

plan to have 10 committees, around 100 delegates,

5 days filled with EYP spirit, 5 days of making

the best of being together in Krakow and much

more! Obviously, there are other reasons which make

you more than OBLIGED to come to our session, one

of them is the 5th anniversary of EYP Poland!

I know you want to say ‘happy birthday’ personally!

I know you want to be a part of this event! I know

you can’t wait to send your application! So don’t let

history be written without you!

CRACOW is waiting for YOU!

Love,

Magda Pietras
