Delegates

The vast majority of those attending the session, attend as delegates. They are the group for whom the session is organised. In EYP-sessions with an international character, like this forum, the delegates’ level of experience varies. Some National Committees usually send delegates who took part in international sessions in the past, while others tend to send delegationsJournalists

Sessions are as intense as 7 days possibly could be, and often leave little time to reflect and absorb. That is where the Press Team of the session comes in. The Press Team, consisting of a committed team of journalists who are also former EYP delegates, produces among other things the “Session Newspaper”. Normally one journalist is dedicated to each committee, and they will write articles on the Committee’s working, as well as more general articles about different aspects of the session, not to mention the wider world outside. The team of journalists is headed by two Editors, who chair the team and are ultimately responsible for putting
together the newspaper – which is then freely distributed to all the session participants. The articles, ranging from the sensible to the silly, both factual and funny, always make for an entertaining read. The Press Team can also publish Session Videos and pictures and broadcast EYP TV.Chairpersons

The chairs play a very important role in the session. They are there to guide the delegates, one chair guiding each of the Committees, through Teambuilding and Committee Work to the General Assembly. Being experienced EYPers, they are in a good position to empathise with the delegates, helping them along but not being too obtrusive – for example, they do not contribute their own ideas to Committee Work, but rather encourage and motivate the delegates to come up with and develop their own ideas. The team of chairs is in turn chaired by a ´Board´ normally consisting of a President and two Vice- Presidents.
