EYP Austria

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.

On the 15th of June EYP Austria organised one of its Mini Sessions at the BG/BRG Seebacher in Graz. Here is what the Head-Organisers Lisa Fuchsberger, Annika Aichholzer and Magdalena Gautsch have to say about the Event:

On June 3rd EYP Austria held its General Assembly.
On this day the attendees could look back on the past academic year and its events and also have a peek into the future by electing a new board to represent them.
One of our members, the lovely Ali Nourouzi, took over the role of the photographer at the event, to let all of you get a glimpse at the 2018 GA of EYP Austria.

In the last days of May, our members departed to the small and beautiful town of Langenwang for our annual Member's Weekend. During these 3 days the participants could not only learn a lot of new skills in various training, but also catch up with old and new friends.
To give all of you a little insight in this event, Thomas Micheler has created a video compiling some of the highlights of the Member's Weekend 2018.
Enjoy
