but we were fully rewarded by your happy faces and enthusiasm! Thank you, dear

delis, for being so lively and involved in all the activities of this session.

We would like to address special thanks to the organizers (the

always smiling and restless team that passed all the day cooking for us, carrying heavy furniture all over

the school, handing out cookies and spoiling everybody with delicious things), as well as all experts that

have been presented during committee works!

Many thanks also to the chairs, team, to our beloved President Teo, to the vice-presidents George and

George and of course for International Black See University Administration for giving us an opportunity

to make such a lovely session!

Last but not least I, the editor, would like to warmly thank our journo, who worked really hard and put

all their energies into the paper. In these days we had difficult and challenging moments, we co-

operated for making BUSU Times. We had fun time kidding, dancing and making stupid videos and we got

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 It’s 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.

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 s e e i n g 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. We’ve seen “Occupant” Otars, “Nice” Ninos, “Talkative” Tamars and “Vandalist” Vakhtangs all over the name games of c o m m i t t e e s . 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. Intimate games had no less popularity on today’s 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.

It was approximately 6 o’clock 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 what’s the most important trusted each other. And I truly won-

dered how they managed it – I couldn’t believe they haven’t 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.

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 it’s 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Tamta’s 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.

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 world’s 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? ☺☺☺☺☺

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, It’s 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.. That’s because of high heels :) Yes, you

guessed, she taked them off.

So, don’t forget about your Hollywood smile :)

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 shouldn’t 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

it’s 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, that’s 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 other’s work, evaluated

the day as a successful one and decided to amuse themselves on a fresh air

before the Star Night would begin.

WE are golden, WE are golden.. LIBEEEEEEEEEEEEE

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 Armstrong’s 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 Dylan’s song. They have expressed their hope that

one day the world would become secure.

The LIBE has sung Pancho’s “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 Charkviani’s “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 m’s “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.

You recently have met your chair and met your committee’s delegates. It is time for TB. Your chair decides that you should play the “Human Knot”. Dur-ing the game you…. a. Try to be as helpful as possible. In order to find a so-lution I think that it is neces-sary to discuss and specu-late over potential solutions so we can untie this knot. b. You are the one who cracks up the jokes and the fun-ny comments. c. Follow the procedures/steps but you simply can’t be bothered to share your views. 2.As TB has ended you and your committee pro-ceed to committee work. How prepared are you? a. For weeks before the session, I have been doing some in-depth research on the committee topic. I want to be as prepared as possible. b. No point in doing so, I sleep during CW so I can be the last one standing at night! c. What? Did we have to do that? Because I didn’t know… not like I care… 3. The Press team have issued the “Speaker’s Cor-ner” where any session participant can raise their voice about a matter (it can be anything really). What do you think of this? a. This is a golden opportunity for me to debate a topic with someone else. b. Isn’t enough that we have CW? By the way, when is the bus coming? I sense that tonight is going to be a killer rave!! c. That is just pathetic. 4. Time goes by rather fast during EYP sessions. Before you know it is time for GA. On a scale from 1 to 10, how much are you looking forward to this? a. The scale can’t define my excitement! b. Couldn’t you have asked me about the Farewell Party instead? Alright, I say 3 just because it’s so spatula bor-ing. c. The only use that GA serves is a good long nap, so I’d say 8. 5. Although the session is officially over, a Farewell Party has been organised for all participants. At the party, what do you do? a. I socialise with my new friends. I want to make this night into a memorable one so I will abstain from ex-cessive drinking. b. Good music, great drinks and fishing awesome peo-ple! I’m deffo delaying my trip home for at least one day. I will be too hung-over tomorrow (or, today!) c. Chillax with the crew over a pint of prime Belgian beer, yeah that’s the way you do it. Results: In order to find out your result you have to see which of the a-c alternatives you have the most. So if you have mostly: a. You are the Enthusiast. You burn for debates and the exchange of perplexed ideas. You like to aim high and push yourself to the limits. Just don’t push yourself too much, enjoy the evening activities. After all, you live only once. Continuing your career as an EYP-er seems likely, you could try out organising ses-sions and chairing. b. You are the Raver. Politics schmolitics, who cares? You think that people should learn to loosen up and party like it’s 1999. Your abilities include the power to stay awake for weeks without showing any symp-toms. A position as a journo may be the way forward, if you can be bothered. c. You are the Snail. Although you have an inter-est in politics and intellectual debates, you cannot be both-ered to be as energetic as the Enthusiast. If you re-ally have to do a job, you do it well, and that’s what you do in CW and GA. These characteristics are suitable for practically any session position.
