EYFON survey on the Future of Europe
/in National UpdatesAs part of the Conference on the Future of Europe that has recently been started in the EU, the EYFON (European Youth Forum Neumarkt) has launched a survey for young people about European education, values, democracy, economy and environment. Its results will be analysed and fed into the online platform of the Conference, so make sure to use this chance to have an impact on the future of your continent!
Call for Socialisings
/in National UpdatesThe ESC Team, with Tobias in charge of Socialising matters, is again calling for Socialisings! This is part of our monthly Socialising Calls, which are opened at the beginning of every month. Currently, we are specifically looking for events that should take place any day from now to roughly the beginning of July.
Organising a Socialising is very simple, which is why we want to encourage our members to try it themselves. You simply need an idea for an activity, a date and a time, and you’re good to go! For further guidance, the ESC Team has also created a Socialising Guide that you can use as a point of reference.
Unlike other calls in EYP, there will be no selection. Instead, we will approach everyone who reaches out to us immediately! You can submit your Socialising ideas until Sunday, 13 May using this form.
For further information, you can contact Tobias (tobias.gradenegger@eyp.at), who is responsible for Socialisings.

EYP Austria Frühlingserwachen | 4 June
/in National UpdatesWith lockdown restrictions easing, we’re happy to welcome you to our first physical Socialising in over half a year, taking place in Vienna this Friday, 4 June!
We’ll be meeting at the statue in the middle of Maria-Theresien-Platz (Zwidemu) at 16:00 CEST. Depending on the weather, we’ll then either just chill outside or go into one of the museums nearby (MQ, NHM, KHM). In line with the new National Strategy (1.4 Educational Value – 2.3 Membership – 3.2 Inclusion), a budget has been set up for Socialisings with an educational value that ticket costs will be covered by EYP Austria should we end up going to a museum!
In the interest of the participants’ safety and in an effort to protect public health, we will practice social distancing during the Socialising. If we go into a museum, you will need to wear an FFP2 mask, so make sure to bring one!
Newbies and long-time EYPers alike are very welcome and we can always provide you with information on EYP Austria if you want to know more about our organisation. Either way, just tell us if you intend to come via Facebook or by filling out our Google Form. Should you have any questions, just contact me (Philipp Leindl | philipp.leindl@eyp.at), who is in charge of the Socialising.

PBM#6.0 Report
/in National UpdatesNot yet able to make proper use of the recent COVID-19 restriction easing, the Board of EYP Austria is splitting its sixth “Physical” Board Meeting (PBM) between two weekends. During the first part (6.0), it discussed important matters regarding the organisation, with Advisory Board Members also attending.
As with all PBMs, a report has been compiled to inform our Members of the subjects talked about there, as well as the results of modules that will have a concrete impact on the organisation. So make sure to check out the report of PBM#6.0 to get an insight into the happenings of the Board and EYP Austria at large! Most notably the Board further developed changes to the structure of the Board regarding responsibilities and tasks associated with portfolios, revisited its strategy for the transition to the next Board period, and added this year’s updates to the new National Strategy.
