- 3. Issue 2 - 3 Opening Ceremony By Nino The opening ceremony generally consists of introducting the board to the delegates and announcing the expectations for the session. The separate speeches from the president and vice-presidents to wish the best EYP experi- ence and success in committee work. This opening ceremony has not been an exception as well. The president of the NSC 2010 Teo lavrelashvili has held a splendid speech quoting the US president John Kennedy and famous british explorer George mallory. We choose EYP because Its here and we are here, and generally our choice is EYP, that means: practice of English, break stereotypes, holding speeches, becoming a future leader, com- municating, make new international friends and being successful both in life and the future profession. The vice presidents have as well wished a joyful session to the delegates and success in making resolu- tions. The special guest of the session was introduced as well: TSU English lecturer Dimitri Dolaberidze. He told us about the importance of the EYP to the youth, that it is a way towards success for them. With EYP we can prove that we are the unity, educated generation who is able to make changes only to better. The EYP gives us a chance to be the number one, and we have to use it, acquire the skill of cooperation and become more conscious about the current world problems. The opening ceremony has ended with national anthem and The anthem of the EU. Apart from that the power point slide show has been shown to introduce the new commer delegates what the EYP means, its benefits and purposes. The delegates have been shown both international sessions and regionl sessions, abroad and Georgia as well. As a result the delegates have become more motivated they are willing to become the member of the huge EYP family. So EYP-ers this session is your chance, try to make the best of it. Page 3

- 5. Issue 2 - 3 Form a Circle! Form, Form a Circle! Brought by Tatuli and Maia The 4th National Selection Conference of EYP Georgia has finally commenced. The starting point was old Tbilisi where participants from different faculties and Universities came together to get to know each other, by the help of the most exciting part of EYP session the TEAM BUILDING.As soon as the circle was formed Team building was set in motion in the Botanical Garden of Tbilisi. 8 committees and approximately 80 delegates attended the starting part of the 4th National Selection Conference of EYP Georgia. Though weather was not so impressive the outcome of the team building process was not really affected. Rainy weather seemed to be the KILLER of EYP spirit in the beginning but fairly enough trees of Botanical Garden saved the mood and the games we all played and enjoyed. After seeing our Michael Jordan, Irakli Alasania and Pamela Anderson Chairs and Organizations of the session divided Delis into committees and the committee Team building started. Consequently when committee members learned enough about each other they decided to interact with the other committee representatives. They played games against other committees , which once again supported the unity of the team. Weve seen Occupant Otars, Nice Ninos, Talkative Tamars and Vandalist Vakhtangs all over the name games of committees. Although the delegates where a little bit cold due to bad weather and some of them even injured cause of running too slowly from Giants the teambuilding ran smoothly and finished with the establishment of some good friendships among delegates. Slow Runner Intimate games had no less popularity on todays teambuilding - Delis kept hugging, kissing, harassing and seducing each other during different games till Teo, beloved president of the session, called everyone to the unforgettable waterfall of the Garden. The laugh- ter of delegates and smiley faces put the spirit of EYP-ers again on its heights. While playing in the beautiful nature delegates barley noticed that the evening had come and it was the time to end team building games and to have tasty dinner with new made friends and new impressions.

- 6. BUSU Times Dinner Street By Sopho and Guram It was approximately 6 oclock when apart from the incomparable teambuilding, cheerful chairs everlasting energy and delegates in- vincible spirit, we all realized that something was wrong from in- side the stomach rebelled. Decision was made easily- very organized organizers have thought about it already and in 5 minutes we were all moving down from Botanic Garden towards the Freedom square. All the committees were allocated on Leselidze Street to keep the mood of being together. Despite the fact that all delegates and officials were unconsciously tired, they were ready to prove everyone that their committee was the best of the bests! As far as the committee dinner is the last point of Teambuilding, where u are already cerebrating that you have succeeded while creating team, it was funny and interesting as expected. They talked sin- cerely, laughed, joked, played and whats the most important trusted each other. And I truly won- dered how they managed it I couldnt believe they havent known each other until the morning. But then I found that the link between them was EYP itself. Most of the committees preferred to amuse themselves by playing ,,Celebrity Games before the dinner was pre- pared. The smart delegates managed to guess who they were in reality, so the puzzles were easily solved. They were glad to discover that some of them were ,,Sleeping Beauty, ,,Sponge Bob, ,,Qartlis Deda, and even ,,Gay. I have heard that there was diversity between the dishes as well. Some committees tried their best with ,,Khinkali and some tasted delicious pizzas. The proc- ess of spending the whole evening together once more strengthened their team spirit and gave some extra motivation to overcome all the problems all over the world. Finally, all the committees took a lot of photos and drifted apart with the smile on their faces, hoping the next day would be much interesting, creative and unforgettable then it was today. Page 6

- 9. Issue 2 - 3 SEDE By Guram The committee work had been started after funny and joyful games, which helped one more time to all of the members of team to feel relaxed and there- fore prepare for hard work. The beginning of work consisted with processes of making orders named GOLDEN RULES during the work and which was accepted by all members of team and was full as with new ideas, so old rules, made by experienced and new members of the committee. SEDE was completed by younger EYPers and older ones, experienced and new members, students or pupils from different Universities or schools and corresponding to this fact the ideas and directions of thinking was quite different, diverse and interesting. During the debates delegates used to talk after catching magic yellow ball. So one of the Golden Rule was allowed by delegates by assistance of Golden Ball, which helped committee work be organized. In the second part of working with topics there was meeting with expert, Nikoloz Chitadze, who talked about topics simi- lar to the themes of security and defense and answered exhaustive to all questions, which were raised by delegates. After getting useful and interesting information about actual topics of this committee and in generally for our country, the working process continued in usual regime more actively and energetically. The main topics of discussion were about Georgian relation with Russia, ongoing political processes in Europe, having connections with Russia and its policy implications, how to manage to settle disputed security problems and many other subjects. On the definitive part of working chairs divided delegates into 4 groups, which took different corners of the room and began discussing their mini topics, sharing ideas between group members and after that presented their decisions to other groups and chairs, explained their opinions and solutions of the main problems. In conclusion, committee work was very exciting, interesting and funny, which was merit of friendly and gifted chairs, who managed this process effectively and the results were as desired, as expected, hoping more and more ideas, creativeness, discussion and finally very glorious results.

- 10. BUSU Times Iran VS AFET Brought by Tatuli Delegates switched from English to Georgian language and the committee work went on in Georgian! OMG! Why?! Why the GOLDEN RULE is violated?! Fortunately everything has its reason- able reason dearest president of the session, Teo, introduced a well known Georgian Expert in Security Issues Nika Chitadze to the delegates and opened the first round of debates. As far as the delegates had some doubts regarding some info they had about Iran and its current economical and political situation the appear- ance of Mr. Chitadze was really timely. Open-minded and easygoing delis socialized very quickly with the honorable guest of the session and have been asking bunches of ques- tions during the whole 20-30 minutes. Active members of the committee felt free discussing different issues directly with Mr. Chitadze, they familiarly used to inter- rupt him and add vari- ous questions time by time. Delegates where mostly interested in some statistical data and issues more or less concerning again and again of sphere of influences in the world politics. Mr. Chitadze talked with delis about the possibilities of connecting Iran with Nabucco and about the role of different countries in neutralizing or escalating the situation in the region. Me- dia, human rights and non-proliferation treaty was also the issue of their discussion. The interesting and catchy debates where unfortunately soon interrupted by the lunch and after the guest left Eng- lish language revived and took the same place it had before in the committee on Foreign Affairs. Page 10
- 11. Issue 2 - 3 EMPL By Maia The Committee of Employment and Social Affairs has been working hard on finding solutions about poverty and unemployment in the country. Team members analyzed wide range of problems related to the issue such as, health problems, involvement of disabled people, protection of Employment rights and etc..Every participant was eager to express his/her opinion, which was always followed by long debates. The participants were very concerned with the topic and seemed very serious about the matter as it was excpected from the name of the committee itslef. Some participants are awarded with good analytical skills, they found contradictions to every argument, some had creative opinions. The solutions they found seemed to have no end, going from one to another AND to another it seemed like AND had no END. Of course the rules of the session were respected by very participant, those who were not obeying, received the punishment in front of whole com- mittee. With the help of hilarious games the brain worked better and partici- pants found very good solutions for the resolution. Page 11
- 12. BUSU Times CULT By George For the very first, I was thinking that problem like dependence of youth on videogames is really unserious. But after some hours with the Committee on Education and Culture, I found out that it is a problem which becoming more and more unsettled. Children are losing interest to be involved in society and culprit is computer technologies, concretely videogames. Discussions between delegates reminded me debates in legislative body. Even more, young dele- gates were more disciplined despite their age, inexperience these young people discussed problems professionally; if someone strange observed them, he thought himself within the soci- ety of experts. They arose such painful problems as lack of education, which is linked on popularity of video games; easily accessible violate games; the negative role of virtual life. The strength of delegates was that they could create friendly atmosphere and this point helped them to overcome from hopeless situation easily. And, for sure the decisive points were their general education and preparedness for the topic. There were moments when delegates were feeling tiredness and they preferred to play some energetic games such as: fruit salad, the group massage and trust games. After 10-15 minutes relieve, committee members were becoming mobi- lized and were developing their ideas in best way. For the end of the day, they already had finished all problems and set different ways how to overcome. It was surprise for me (sure, from positive side), because part of delegates was first time on EYP session and second participation for another part. I can not finish article without expressing gratitude and appreciate to Chair Person NANA MAISURADZE. During the day I was observing delegates and CHAIR. I was pleasant that could enjoy with well organized team headed by NANA. Group success from one side was reasoned by delegates that they are already realized in their societies, are educated, purposeful youngsters; from the other hand, if there were not experienced chair like NANA, it might be differently and committee could not cooperate on common interest. During 3 years, she did her best and a confused delegate, became a respected chair. Page 12
- 13. Issue 2 - 3 GANABI AFCOs Gonna Be the coolest on the GA By Tatuli As soon as everyone was settled for brainstorming and delegates started to discuss the problems of their topic , Tamta the most frantic member of the committee seemed to have had finished writ- ing the resolution for herself already. Everyone took a deep breath and rose their hands to ask for the word and the speech defending their ideas from Tamtas ones. Even though, in the beginning of discus- sions it was hard for the delegates of the committee on Constitutional Affairs to decide whether Globalization was the issue of their topic or not, all of them proved their ex- cellence till the end of the day. While Giorgi was texting time by time, Andro daydreaming, Erekle trying to play the guitar and Tamta striving to talk - the whole committee work did not run in an ordinary way. The Treaty of Lis- bon raised quite many question among Delegates, questions that were not left un- answered. Delegates were vis- ited by an Expert Mr. Nikoloz Chitadze who an- swered several questions about the above mentioned Treaty. Delis wanted to know more about the possibilities of represent- ing EU citizens interests at EU Parliament and to know whether the information about the goodness and fairness of the Treaty of Lisbon was really as per- fect as retold on the official web-pages of EU and its different institutions. Mr. Chitadze talked with delegates mostly about the importance of opening the informational centers about EU in different states, about the importance of con- ducting referendums on different topics in order to raise the trust towards EU parlament and to represent and defend the ideas of as many citizens as possible. After the departure of the Expert AFCO committee members felt sad about the unasked questions but still contin- ued working on their reso- lution enthusiastically and eagerly. Unasked and thus unanswered ques- tions could not harm the spirit of our EYPers. AFCO guys claimed to be the coolest and the strongest GANABIs of the session. While girls claimed that their social statuses of KAI BICHIS DA was even more un- doubtable that they would create the best reso- lution of the session. European Onion sorry Union Page 13
- 14. BUSU Times ECON By Tako Corruption or Olympic games? Which came the first? This is the question.. Really, that is not question. The committee on economic and Monetary Affairs, shortly, ,,econ, have to discuss very, very, extremely im- portant issue. Like the worlds leaders ,in Georgia , young eyp-ers are discussing the last- hot- expensive problem- financial crisis. Firs thing, you should have to do entering their room : just smile! There ,,golden rules with 8 bullets, insists and makes Here are some advices, how to guess ECON delegates . Then, if you see someone, creative and talkative, active ,not ashamed to express his ideas, you should strongly be sure, he is from ECON! And, if he talks only in English , works in team and is not late, be sure, this delegate is form ECON.. According to their ,, golden rule I am sure, extremely sure, that you do what? 財財財財 and, after your Hollywood- smile, you have to be expert on eco- nomical issues, as in that room, you will hear such terms, that you have never heard. so, what do you think, what does SGP means? or, GDP? Had the same reaction.. sorry.. It happens to be, not something like zuma or Funky chicken, more serious, ECONOMICAL TERMS! for example, SGP means- the stability and growing pact.. In this way to, Its incom- prehensible for me. :( But, 10 active, talkative delegates, for the whole day, where discussing and making deference between ,,facts and ,,problems .. I think, these ,,dangerous terms for me, seemed so so so easy for them.. At last, about that beautiful Chair, Mariam Chikladze. She had to resistance those active delegates while discussing there issues. At the end of the day, she seemed tired and shorter, then she seemed an hour ago.. Thats because of high heels :) Yes, you guessed, she taked them off. So, dont forget about your Hollywood smile :) Page 14
- 15. Issue 2 - 3 WE are golden, WE are golden.. LIBEEEEEEEEEEEEE By Sopho As soon as the official part of the opening ceremony was over, all the dele- gates were allocated in their committee rooms. First thing they did was to set the golden rules, but how funny it shouldnt seem to u exactly half minute later 4 of the delegates were standing in front of the whole committee and were bud spelling different words. So the first punishment have made their day and with smiley faces they went on discussing such important issue as its a ban of building minarets in Switzerland. The topic raised a lot of questions in their fresh and smart minds. It was really exciting to look how they tried their best to find the way for peaceful coexistence of different cultures together in one state. They were urging that European values and democracy obliges them to respect and tolerate others freedoms and fundamental rights. Maybe someone will think that I am subjective while saying that the delegates of LIBE committee were the most hyperactive and energetic through all the other committees. Can u believe that they were the only ones who sometimes denied to play the games cause they had to work on the problem solving, and definitely they were the ones to discuss the crucial issues while being out on the coffee break. The loveliest, smartest and cutest chairperson Tiko Janjgava was always ready to neutralize her delis everlasting energy, thats why she had to make the whole com- mittee a group massage; sometimes in contrary she had to punish for breaking golden rules by making them dance in the centre of the room alone. Anyways, the work the delegates did during the day was very productive. They brainstormed for the problems at first and then went deeply into the discussion to find out how to overcome them together. Have to be sincere, sometimes there have been critical situations in the committee but they managed to overcome it and that proved once more time that they have succeeded as a team. Later the committee on civil liberties was visited by special guest an Expert Mr. Nikoloz Chitadze who tried to answer all the questions which was raised by delegates. The day is nothing without having fun- so chair and her awesome team sev- eral times enjoyed ,,Counting Games, ,,Frong Song, and ,,Fruit salad to energize themselves and avoid the threat of falling asleep. Finally the most important part of stating problems and solutions was over, so all of them clapped each other, appreciated each others work, evaluated the day as a successful one and decided to amuse themselves on a fresh air before the Star Night would begin.

- 16. BUSU Times The Euro Star Night By George The euro star night was doubtlessly a splendid one. The jury members Teona Lavrelashvili, Giorgi Chincha- ladze, Nana Maisuradze and Sandro Jupalakiani were in charge of assessing the performance of our lovely committees. The first committee to perform was the committee on employment; they were singing the Beatles song Let it be in EYP style. Unfortunately due to some technical problems the group was rejected to pass the 1st round of the competition. On the contrary to that the employment representative Salome Kandelaki has had a wonderful performance having sung Lui Armstrongs what a wonderful world. The jury members had unanimously been in favor of the group to pass the first round. The SEDE has also performed greatly, having sung Bob Dylans song. They have expressed their hope that one day the world would become secure. The LIBE has sung Panchos look up in the sky successfully with the help of the guitar. The AFCO committee together with their chair Annie Nozadze has sung paparazzi song The Stars, the whole audience was singing with them, as a result the jury has assessed positively. Apart from that they have sung Charkvianis I will swim over the sea. The joint dance Acharuli as the session president Teo Lavrelashvili has called was performed by the mix group of committees. The ENVI has made us all dance, with the mix of the songs, the Boney ms Sunny was the most exceptional. The CULT has swayed us all, with the wonderful song sung by Pussycat Dolls sway with me. Finally, the chairs have presented their song, which was sung at Batumi national session change the best of possible So the euro star night has ended successfully, Euro Stars were discovered the EYP-ers are all the STARS.
