The first Summer school Session organized
by European youth parliament finished last week, and now I’m here to tell you
what I think about the forum overall.
At first I want to tell you that I was
skeptical about the forum because I thought that It simply can’t be well organized
cause it was the first time and I was partially right. First 2 days we had more
than 3 free hours, I personally think that we could use that time to do more useful
things for example committee work, which unfortunately didn’t happen. Complete opposite
of that were 3rd and 4th days, when we didn’t even have an
hour to relax and just stop thinking. In the end of the 3rd day I thought
“I’ve never worked that hard in my life”. The 4th day was almost the
same but in the end when we finished I thought “that’s it we can do everything”.
That day we finished earlier so we had time to play.
I know what you’re thinking about I’m
talking just about negative thing, so please let me fix my mistake.
First of all I want to give a big
credit to our chairs because without them I don’t think we would be able to
finish our work on time.
Second of all we had so much fun
playing different (new) games, singing, dancing. I think the biggest plus of
the School Session was the communication between delegates and staff. They also
organized a Talent Night and again I was skeptical but this time I changed my
mind as soon as I heard the first song. The other big thing that I’ve gained
during the past week was the ability to work as a team (but this time I didn’t change
my mind I still hate team work).
Apart from the rest of the week I want
to talk about the last at the same time the best, the hardest and most exciting
day of the week. It was the day of General Assembly when we had to show to the other
delegations what we’ve done in 2 days, with what kind of solutions we came up with
in order to make the world a better place. Each of the participants in our group
had its own think to do. Other delegations were attacking us, asking lots of questions.
At the same time we had to write down and then give answers. Believe me I was tired,
I wanted to go home and get some sleep, but I will never forget that day.
In conclusion I want to say that
there were pros and cons but in the end of the day I’m very happy that I get a chance
to be a part of The First EYP School Session.
“Sometimes we’re not realizing the value
of decisions or moments, but in the end that exact moments can change our lives
forever. There are moments which mark your life. Moments when you realize
nothing will ever be the same and time is divided into two parts- before this
and after this.”
