EYP Days 2015/16: Call for Officials open

We are thrilled to announce that the Call for Officials for this year’s EYP Days is now open.

EYP Days are mini-sessions that last one day for Delegates and include all typical elements of a session (Teambuilding, Committee Work and General Assembly). With them, EYP Austria aims to get more young people involved in our organisation by introducing new Delegates to EYP. This year, we are especially proud to be reaching out to two provinces that have never hosted an EYP event before: The Tyrol and Burgenland.

All in all, there will be three EYP Days taking place in Linz (Upper Austria), Kufstein (The Tyrol) and Neusiedl/See (Burgenland). Each EYP Day is now looking for an Officials Team consisting of 2 Vice-Presidents, 8 Chairpersons as well as 1 or 2 Photo- and Video-Journalists.

Please note that Officials will be asked to arrive one day prior to the session for Teambuilding and Training.

More information can be found in the call document. To apply, please answer the questions that are relevant for the position(s) you are applying for and submit the application form to applications@eypaustria.org by 18 October 2015 (23:59 CEST).

EYP Days are a great opportunity for Officials to develop their skills regardless of their level of experience – do not miss your chance to become part of a motivated team and take on the challenge of introducing Delegates to the world of EYP in only one day!

Head-Organiser Training

On September 26th and 27th, Head-Organisers and Board Members gathered for EYP Austria’s first 2-day-HOT (Head-Organisers’ Training) in Vienna for a weekend of training, planning and getting to know each other.

During the weekend, Head-Organisers followed Trainings on Fundraising, PR & IT, Budgeting & Accounting and Orga-Team Leadership with Board Members training in their fields of expertise relating to their portfolios on the Board. Furthermore, future cooperation between Head-Organisers and the Board as well as among the Head-Organisers were discussed and milestones in the timeline for the upcoming months were set.

With twelve Head-Organisers representing all our upcoming sessions and six Board Members as well as one external trainer present, the weekend was a big success.

We want to thank all participants for a lovely weekend and wish our Head-Organisers the best of luck on their adventures of planning and carrying out our EYP Days, Regional Sessions and the National Selection Conference in the academic year 2015/16!
