EYP Sessions 2015

National Selection Session

This year’s Swiss EYP National Selection Session took place in Bern. After a very long wait, it was finally time to start the parliamentary adventure. We began our journey on a Wednesday morning, full of energy, both eager to meet our committees and dive into our topics. The morning wasn’t stress-free, one of our delegates nearly missed the train to Bern; thankfully she hopped on at the last moment.
We arrived at the youth hostel and soon enough we were rushed off to meet our committees and start team building. Through a variety of activities, games and the occasional goofy energizer, we bonded with the representatives and really got into the spirit of EYP.

The evening came to a close with the official opening ceremony for the 2015 session. Delegations from all over the country, along with a few foreign missions, had to introduce themselves through some creative means. Due to technical complications we had to improvise our presentation last minute, but we managed to pull through.
A lot of committee work was in store for the very next day. Heated debates and intense discussions aroused, but in the end we came one step closer to our resolutions. Later that evening our delegation bustled to set up our stand for Swiss Village. Each group displayed their hometowns with colorful booths covered with food and drinks. We came well prepared and our counters came together nicely, naturally covered in Läckerli and FCB plates!
On Friday morning everyone rushed back to committee work, in full pressure mode due to the fact the resolutions needed to be finished. After non-stop work we all pulled through, but the job wasn’t nearly done! We returned to the youth hostel and worked until 3 a.m.: defense, attack and summation speeches needed to be finished.

The day of the general assembly finally arrived! Saturday morning started chaotically as people tried to eat breakfast, put on formal wear and practice speeches at the same time. Two days of intense discussion and debating left us all very satisfied. That night we had a fantastic closing dinner with our committees and a crazy Grease-themed party.

At the end, some of our resolutions didn’t pass, but the hard work we invested and the memories we keep were all worth the effort. We were even invited to attend the Swedish National Selection Conference in March 2016 and we’re very excited to continue our EYP journey.
