EYP Austria x Pulse of Europe Austria HomeParliament | 22 May

We’re glad to announce an event organised in cooperation with Pulse of Europe Austria: a HomeParliament with Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) taking place on Saturday, 22 May 2021 from 17:00 to 20:00 CEST!*

The event will bring young Europeans together to discuss current euro-political issues in small groups of up to 8 people. After around an hour of discussion time, the individual committees  will be introduced to MEPs who are currently involved in the decision-making process at a European level. Through fostering an open floor and encouraging the youth to speak their mind we hope to create an exchange of ideas, values and visions for Europe between the politicians and the other attendees.

The event is taking place online and open to all interested individuals. You can register here as a participant until Friday, 21 May 2021, 23:59 CEST.

*We originally announced the event for 15 May, but this has since changed due to a short-notice guest unavailability.

Call for Socialisings

The 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 online events that should take place any day from now to roughly the beginning of June.

Organising a Socialising is very simple, especially in the online format, 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 next Sunday, 16 May using this form.

For further information, you can contact Tobias (tobias.gradenegger@eyp.at), who is responsible for Socialisings.

Europe Day | 9 May

With lots of topical events taking place on Europe Day this year, we wanted to make sure you’re in the know about the different offers of our umbrella organisation JEF and its associated organisations on 9 May. With an online symposium about Europe, a physical gathering at MQ – Platz der Menschenrechte in Vienna (EYPers will be there too!), and a thematic focus on the community broadcaster Okto, we’re sure there’s something you would enjoy as well!

EYP Dialogue on Anti-Racism | 10 May

The Governing Body’s Task Force on Anti-Racism would like to invite you to their first community event: a Dialogue on Anti-Racism to be held on Monday, 10 May 2021, at 18:00–19:30 CEST. They will present some of their experiences and thoughts from the work they’ve been doing so far, before providing ample opportunity for discussion and input around the issues of diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism in EYP.

We encourage you to join the event to share your own views and experiences and take part in a conversation as a community around these issues! To register for this event, please use this form.

Call for Mini Session St. Veit/Glan I Officials

We are excited to announce that the call for Officials for the first Mini Session of this academic year, namely the Mini Session St. Veit/Glan I, taking place on 25 May. We are still looking for a President, Vice-Presidents, Chairpersons, Journalists and Organisers, so if you are interested in any of the roles and teams of EYP sessions and would like to try them out on a smaller scale, this is a great chance for you!

Whilst the session is guaranteed to happen regardless of the format (either physical or digital), we are currently preparing for a digital session. At the same time, we have also secured a second Mini Session for St. Veit/Glan, which will take place on 2 July that might be realised as a physical event – further details will be published in time!

Find the official call document and application document for the Mini Session St. Veit/Glan I here. You can apply as an Official until this Friday, 30 April 2021, 23:59 CEST.
