Call for BNC Assistant Spring 2023

We are happy to announce that the call for the position of BNC Assistant for Spring 2023 is now open to all members! 

The European Youth Parliament is currently represented in 40 European countries, creating a large,

interconnected, international community that offers opportunities for interaction and development to National Committees (NCs) such as EYP Austria. Twice a year, representatives from all NCs meet for the BNC meeting.

The role of the BNC Assistant is to support the Board Member for International Coordination (Elena Szegedi) in the preparation and postprocessing of the Spring BNC Meeting 2023, taking place from 31 March – 2 April 2023 (physically in Berlin). The main aim is to provide the members and the Board of EYP Austria insights into the BNC discussions, gather feedback from the members, prepare a decision base for the board of EYP Austria, and work on our proposals.

The responsibilities of the BNC Assistant Spring 2023 will start by mid-February as then the first BNC Infos are published. Overall, the position will last until the end of April, when all post-BNC meeting work is done. Thus, this position only lasts for about 3 months.

As BNC Assistant, you will gain valuable insights into an integral part of the Board portfolio for International Coordination, knowledge about the international governance of the EYP, expand your personal network, and find out if International Coordination is the “perfect fit” for you. 

This call is open until Saturday, 11 February 2023 at 23:59 CEST! You can read more about it and apply using this link: https://eyp.at/calls/9714/

Jonas

Hi! My name is Jonas and I am 22 years old. Originally I am from Lower Austria but now living in Vienna, where I am studying law at the University of Vienna. In this year’s board term, I am serving as Cooperation Coordinator for the board member for Fundraising, Paula.

Having been a member of EYP since I was a student in school, I have experienced first-hand the lively and truly transnational exchanges this unique organisation provides. Therefore, I am thrilled to work alongside the whole board and do my part to secure as well as strengthen the partnerships necessary to continue EYP Austria’s endeavours.

PBM #4 Report

During each board term, the Board of EYP Austria meets several times to discuss important matters in person, with the Advisory Board also typically attending to some degree for guidance. Last week the Board held its fourth Physical Board Meeting (PBM) online.

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. Most notably, the Board members talked about Greenlight Requirements for this year’s sessions, reviewed the Annual Plan, updated the HR Register and analysed the outcome of the Delegates Abroad Feedback Form.
So make sure to check out the PBM #4 Report to get an insight into the happenings of the Board and EYP Austria at large!
