EYP Austria

The second team we would like to present to you is the Fundraising Team. The lovely Lukas Burnar and his five extremely competent team members have already started their work in ensuring the very future of our events.
This means the team will be taking up the challenge of helping with fundraising both in the private and public sectors. Developing trainings and providing support for the Organising teams of the upcoming sessions in all matters concerned with fundraising are also a part of this teams’ responsibility.

We interrupt our round of Team-introductions for a very special announcement.

It is our pleasure to announce that the call for Statute Working Group Members and Understanding Europe Trainers has been extended for another week.

You have until Monday, August 20th at 23:59CEST to apply under eyp.at/calls.
We are more than excited to read all of your applications.

Now that all our wonderful Head-Organisers have been revealed and are ready to get to work, it is time for a new round of announcements. This time it is our utmost pleasure to present to you the members of EYP Austria’s Teams for the academic year of 2018/19.
Kicking things off with the Team on International Affairs, led by the wonderful Hanna Begic, this team of already excited individuals will be making the most of the international network of the European Youth Parliament by communicating with other National Committees.

Less than a year after their success with Regional Session Graz 2018, the dream team is back. This time Dominik Groß and Daniel Binder have their minds set on our most beloved winter event: EYP on Ski!

Get excited for fun in the snow and cozy alpine refuges and stay tuned for more infos on this event.

With all the excitement about Head-Organisers being announced, let us not forget that we still have a CALL open until Sunday, August 12th.

We are looking for members of a working group dedicated to revise the statutes of EYP Austria and Understanding Europe Trainers.

Don't miss these opportunities of shaping EYP Austria and/or student's understanding of Europe and its institutions. Apply today at eyp.at/calls

With all of the Head-Organisers for the Regional Sessions of 2019 unveiled over at Regional Sessions of EYP Austria, the time has now come to present to you the Head Organisers of this year's flagship event: The National Selection Conference Graz 2019.

"[...] EYP needs to make its programs more accessible to people from poor socioeconomic backgrounds and minority groups. A special focus should be put on recruiting immigrant students who do not hold citizenship in their countries of residence and therefore often do not feel addressed by traditional forms of political activism. The project “Understanding Europe” can serve as a low-threshold means to reach a wider and more diverse audience. All in all, the focus on inclusion and outreach already represented in current EYP policy should be enhanced."

It's time.
The Head-Organisers of the 2019 Sessions of EYP Austria have been selected and we want to finally introduce them to you.
From tomorrow on we will present one pair of Head-Organisers to you every day. The first post will go online at 17:00 CEST on Regional Sessions of EYP Austria.
Head over there and see who is going to be in charge of our events in the next year.

We are very excited to open the Call for a Statutes Working Group and Understanding Eu-rope Trainers.

The Statutes Working Group is a temporary working group consisting of law students, which will aim to review and renew EYP Austria’s legal documents. This group is led by Michael Ernst.

The Understanding Europe Trainers will lead free workshops in different settings, which should aid to further the understanding of the European Union of students. This team is lead and trained by the Understanding Europe Coordinator of EYP Austria Sophia Weiser.
