Have you ever heard about committees being compared to wild ani-mals? Dana Klimova introduces the wild, wild ITRE.

Engineering Werewolves

Dasha dancing, Riaan rocking,Engineers evaluating.Passing the esplosive ball,ITRE has it simply all.Sexy Paulina the lady,Athletic filmmaker and cutie Tommy.Sarp´s butt spelling uniforms,Standing, 69 performs.The brilliant Iaroslava,smart and lovely as Oksana,Jannis, German gentleman,get all girls is his plan.Vadim thinks outside the box,Ilya, funny fella, rocks!ITRE hugs and dance and kiss,There is no fun they would miss!

The full moon on the evening of the limo ride made a huge impact on the Intelligent Team of Radioactive Engineers. They changed into werewolves and liter-ally got wild. What happened in the limo and what

should have stayed there? Definitely the 'Never Have I Ever', 'I Am Sexy And I Know It' dance on the floor or the 'Pass the glass & shoe'. Even though their look changed back to regu-lar in the morning, their soul stayed the same. Travelling from table to table, suffering from (foqusing) they reached decision to save a man cleaning a skyscraper window and an employee taking care of the ball. Meanwhile in other part of the ITRE world many Ninjas got killed. It all ended by building a liquor plant instead of a nuclear one in order to save the world from the Apocalypse, since it is simply cheaper and citizens will ap-preciate vodka more. No more Chernobyl, let´s get the real threat spread to the world! Everything of course supervised and censored by the RiDa Company.

On behalf of the media team Iana Yukhimenko proudly introduces you with the enchanting committee of Economic and Monetary Af-

fairs, chaired by fabulous Richard Janousek.

a) Noting with respect ECON to be a completely distinctive committee; b) Meeting all the deadlines due to nervous German committee members;c) Recognising the fact that the Limo-party was a present for Felix’s birthday;d) Repeatedly expressing the strong concern about the indefinite situation with the recycling of nuclear waste, by showing a Chernobyl elephant with really differently sized ears during Bibidi-Bob;e) Appreciating the chairpersons to share 'Alenka' chocolate and M&M’s or other for achieving your goals during committee work;f) Fully believing that holding 'a sexy and I know it' party (including balloons) during the cof fee brake is a perfect way to energise during committee work;g) Realising that during 'Magic stick' a ghost member of the committee called Dasha was spontaneously found;h) Recognizing the fact that Sasha got a huge slap on her ass while playing the 'Dig dag gus' and it looked fun;i) Bearing in mind 'that’s what I heard' quotations such as these:

- Public separate compartment bins.- A bin will never pay you back!- Write it – 'S' – s s s s s s s - So much ass sounds from the committee.- Richard: Now you need to kiss the ear... -Felix: Wait, my own ear? - I think it’s about the commit-tee going to the wood!

ENVI I wall of memories

Michal Rejman has the honor of introducing the superb ENVI I to the World.

With maybe not the most excit-ing name, Water museum gave

the committee whole loads of fun and chill. From all of the committee activities prepared by organizers this particular one was revived by HO, Zhe-nia Melekhovets as, quotation: 'The best activity, Misiek, Mis-iek ,Misiek you’re so lucky you’ll be there!' And I was, so were the members of ENVI I. Educa-tion by fun, fun by education. Playing in the mud with buckets and little plastic shovels. (Deniz: 'I’m making a river, I’m making a river!') And there’s also a cher-ry at the top: beautiful, sunny panorama of Kiev from old fire brigade tower on the hill in the heart of Kiyv. In-your-faces!

There is an old native Americans saying: 'If you sleep too well, you’re gonna do

butt-spell'. Okechukwu, who overslept to the transfer to the CW was punished by butt-spelling his name while stand-ing on the table. Ugis quickly recognized huge potential of this device and invited ENVI I committee to play the Big Fat Pony on the table. That’s how the BFP was taken to whole new level and 10.000 hry-vnias wooden table in room 106 was nearly destroyed. Beautiful girls in cock-tail dresses. Handsome guys in expensive suits. Shamapgne in tall, crystal glasses. Finest Cuban cigars. Night trip in a long, shiny white limousine. Po-lite, trustworthy driver able to fulfill every, even the most ex-otic wish. Stylish interior, with seats from best quality leather. Calm music flowing discretely from the speakers. And beau-tiful Kyiv outside... That’s how

ENVI1 spent one of the evenings during Think Green Session. ENVI I is not for chick-ens. It’s highly risky business – this committee can actually have deadly consequences. For those who yet don’t know: people from room 106 at KNEU for three days had discussed issue of the highest matter: water. Simple construction of three particles with crucial in-fluence on life of every last one of you. Why then it’s so dan-gerous? There is an possibility that after all those discussions they will be so fed up with water that they’ll actually stop using it. And then what? At first, social life is suffering. But eventually lack of H2O causes painful and irreversible death. Let’s hope that they’re strong enough to resist the hydropho-bia. But as I see it: they’ll make it.

The developers

Tua Malmberg offers you the look into the committee she described 'cute as kittens and puppies'.

During this session the delegates of DEVE made the world a better place.

Guided by Oksana Korchak, chair extraordinaire, the del-egates got to know each other during one and a half, very amusing, days of teambuild-ing and bonded over their committee work discussions

and fantastic tree-planting. Being a first time of-ficial I could not have asked for a better committee. The delegates welcomed me, their confused Swedish journo, with open arms. They supported me when I was having men-tal breakdown after mental breakdown (hopefully without

knowing it, I hope I hid them well) and they let me take as many pictures of them as I wanted, without complaining.

I want to give my thanks to the best commit-tee ever by dedicating a spe-cial place in the paper to each and every one of its members.This is how you save the world:

The environmentalists

In line with this sessions main theme, Valentina Marin gives you the fashionably green ENVI II.

Let me tell you the story of ENVI II, the com-mittee that randomly starts creating songs

by playing not musical instru-ments (at which they are tal-ented as well) but actually forks, knives and everything else that they can find on the table. It started out just as a

joke, but ENVI II delis are be-coming more and more excited about a very promising album coming out possibly soon af-ter the session. You might have heard only a demo yester-day at lunch; they are taking their time for the grand debut.

One other thing that this awesome committee is bringing to the table is God-like ninja skills, Maria being the last round’s winner. All of the delegates have made their contribution and are unique in their own way. Maybe this will give you just a hint about how awesome they all really are:

› Christoph mentioned being into 9gag and had a laugh with the rest about meme faces in real life;› Dinh said ‘Challenge accept-

ed!’ to the speed dating activity that DEVE’s lovely journo pro-posed;› Hoping that it would bring a smile on ENVI I delis’ faces (yes, the sad face drawn on their door is still noticeable) › Maria decided to draw a smiley face on ours. She also

thought about bringing more color to the committee by de-signing the new image of ENVI II;› Corina made media team

proud when surprised by the camera excitingly reading the newspaper; › Olha showed her strong character during CW› Yaraslav laid low and be-come the proud winner of the Silent Game. It’s not a Nobel Prize, but it’s something!

› Maxym is quite an avid mu-sician. He plays three instru-ments and is really into instru-mental music. Hans Zimmer, Yann Tiersen, YIruma and Se-

cret Garden are only a few of his favorite artists.› Arne could be seen as the genius in the shadows, always saying the right thing at the right time.› Olesia was also fascinated by the ‘dancing’ squirrel that they saw at the zoo.

Writing about Gods in anciet history is one thing. Valentina Marin & Michal Rejman had to interview our very own demi-goddesses.

The true

10

We cannot ignore the fact that you are constantly avoiding media. Any comments?Z: We hate journalism; we hate you, abusive paparazzi. We ac-tually didn't want you to come, but we were forced to.T: That's true. We have so much dirty stuff going on around here and we really didn't want any-body to find out about it. We are doing so much inappropriate things during the session.

Yeah, suure... Anyway, which was the biggest challenge you had to face as Head-Orga during this session?Z: I would say that it was hiding expenditures like renting limos from the sponsors. (laughs)T: It was definitely the Eurocon-cert. The facility had to be rented weeks in advance but we man-aged to do everything in just two hours prior to the concert. During this time we also had to do our usual jobs as Head-Or-gas: taking care of everyone, our session's babies.

We’re glad that you brought up the topic. Are you aware of the fact that you were the only one to get standing ovation during the evening?

How long have you been pre-paring that?(both) Woow... Really...? Wooow. We hadn't noticed that... It took us like two hours. We had three rehearsals. We decided to sing together, we chose the song... But we agreed that just standing and sitting is boring, so we de-cided to invite Vitalij to entertain us during performance.

After the concert you rented us the limos. Crazy. How did that amazing thing became reality?Z: Few weeks ago during pan-ic attack I called Tania and was freaking out about not having any venue after Euroconcert. At some moment Tania tried to shut me up and said sarcastically: 'What can I do? Rent a limo?!' T: And after a few seconds

of silence we actually thought: 'Yeah. Why not?' We checked if it's possible... And you know the rest. Actually it's how it works: we get some stupid idea and use it.

By this particular one you raised the bar quite high. Should del-egates expect other surprise?T: Well... Nearly nothing can com-pare to limos. We unfortunately won't be able to rent a space shuttle. But maybe that's good, we still need to save something for the next session.

Can you give us one random reason that made you smile during these past few days?T: Actually, I'll go for the one when we had to do the video for Riaan. It was 4 a.m. and at first we were really tired and simply film-ing the scenes that Riaan asked us to. At some point, though, we just started filming random crazy stuff. We were having so much fun that we just kept going on for at least one more hour. Z: Hmm... I would say the orga meeting that we had yesterday morning at 6 a.m. Everyone must have woken up with this though: 'Orga needs me!' We woke up and just started organizing. We

didn't even get out of the bed actually!

It seems like your 'organizing organism' really works pretty well. What makes EYP Ukraine so special?Z: We have really different kinds of people here. And we man-aged to find golden balance be-tween academic approach and having fun.T: We are really something more like a family, not organiza-tion. We opens to each other, we share. We know we can trust each other.

So if the EYP is family-like that makes you the parents of the session. Who’s the mommy and who’s the daddy?(together laughing) Who's Your Daddy?! T: Well, probably, probably I'm the dad. I usually do this bor-ing work: Schedules, transports, preparing venues... And Zhenia is more like an inspirational one. We divided tasks. Z: But there wasn't a single quarrel between us, as among whole organizers team. Also, Tania helps other people to un-derstand what I'm talking about. I constantly mix

up terms, places, times, venues.T: Yeah, I'm something like an in-terpreter here!

We do know that you have in-vested a lot of time and energy into this session. At the end of the day... Is it all worth it?Z: Yes, most definitely! It was probably during the arrival day that I just thought to myself 'This

is actually happening!' I had this sort of feeling first time some weeks ago in the storage room when I found myself surround-ed by materials for the session. That's when it hit me: 'Wow, we are actually doing what we've been planning and struggling to do for the past few months!'

What’s next?T: It'll be session in Odessa RS

-something completely differ-ent. Another place, people and venues. But we already know: challenge with the limos is ac-cepted and don't be surprised if after Euroconcert you'll end up on yacht.Z: Indeed, it's going to be a really good session, especially con-sidering the fact that the head organizers will have had more experience than us both have. Maybe they will be able to han-dle the things that could have gone better during this session in a different way than ours.

POST SCRIPTUM: After the interview we found out that in order to give this interview Zhenia decided not to show up on a very life-important meet-ing at the Polish embassy. She basically put session over her personal life. This is just an example of how much effort did those girls put into event sometimes sacrificing some-thing valuable. Zhenia, Tania - I think I’m speaking in the name of every participant of Kiyv RS - Without you we wouldn’t be here. You did an amazing job. And for that: thank you.

The media team got a hold of our always busy head organizers: Zhenia and Tania! Finally they agreed to answer some of our questions.

Maria Shcherbak draws your attention to the fact that super committees need super articles.

JURY superheroes

Thanks to Kyiv RS some of the participants have discovered su-perhuman abilities in

themselves. And I am happy to announce that our amazing team of superheroes has en-

riched with guys fighting for implementation of legislature. Please welcome an invincible committee on Legal Affairs! This powerful five is headed by an experienced

sensei Niks Berzins, thanks to whom the committee works as one and always follows all deadlines. No doubt, that thanks to JURY’s resolution the Principle 10 of Rio+20 will be successfully implemented.

LAZAR (Christian Lazar)Character: ambi-tious leader.S u p e r p o w e r : never gives up, keeps his word.A m m u n i t i o n : strong will, under the stone muscles.Activity: fights against lies.

YULIA (Yulia Kauk) Character: charm-ing genius. Superpower: un-limited knowledge and energy chargeWeapons: logical thinking and charm.Activity: solves all the problems.

MARINJA (Maria Doring)Character: mad assassin.S u p e r p o w e r : moves at the speed of light.Weapons: hands, sharp like razors.Activity: punishes those who do not follow the legisla-tion.

DANIELO (Daniel Singer)Character: cun-ning spySuperpower: Can turn back time.Ammunition: just a cool costume.Activities: reveng-es criminals while helping them to make crimes.

PAVLIUS PRIME (Pavlo Fedoriv)Character: like a sir.Superpower: ex-actly knows peo-ple's needs.Weapons: intel-ligence, sense of humor. Activity: keeps the planet green.

Have you ever thought that future looks bright for humanity? Artem Gumeniuk surely thinks so.

During the last 3 days, the committee on Transportation has been discussing the

current issue of environmen-tally unsustainable planning. It is the cause for land fragmen-tation. After implementation of their resolution we can take a look at the places of their work.

In a few years the re-adjusted and redesigned plan-ning would make the way to their work smooth and ecof-riendly. Kolya shall be work-ing in a company, analyzing the economic issues. Two members of the committee have a keen interest in sports. While Kai will be comment-ing basketball tournaments and hockey games, Temo shall be managing one of the top football clubs, combining his passion for law and sports.

Marika got lucky to ob-

tain a position at one the most reliable insurance compa-nies in the world. Apart from her job as a risk manager at Aliance Insurance Company, Marika aims to get internship at the main office in Munich.

Veronika and Marina are going to bridge culture di-vides. After her German phi-lology studies, Veronika wishes to enrich Ukrainian culture with translation of German literature works. Marina is going to pur-sue her career of fine art paint-er, hence she’s been drawing since she was 3. Her passion for arts brings her inexpressible joy and that matters the most.

Although Ivanka and David will have had different diplomas, their contribution to the society and environment is going to be enormous. Af-ter obtaining her teachers de-gree, Ivanka is going to share her love and knowledge with school kids. But David is go-ing to deal with tasks which are directly related to com-mittee resolution. He is a civil engineer, the one who is re-sponsible for infrastructure planning. That is a tough job, because you constantly have to keep in mind the idea of environment friendly plan.

This generation is going to feel the difference made by their work in just a few years. They definitely took over frag-mentation issue even in circum-stances of difficult economic climate. The future is theirs.

The TRANtastics

The future is theirs!

Having fun is cool and all. Writing about it? Dana Klimova & Artem Gumeniuk try to describe the undescribable farewell party.

The solar party

14

The journey start-ed with turning our heads all 360 de-grees around. We

had a chance to relax and space out with the spheri-cal movie which got us into the right mood for the party.

As we know Germans are precise in anything they do and this event wasn't an excep-tion. Their space radioactive costumes were outstanding and the boys could be easily mistaken for aliens. The girls weren´t left behind and their shiny metallic dresses didn´t leave a boy without attention.

There wouldn't be a party without getting touchy,

which literally brings the spice. After the first rounds of danc-ing the show was about to burst out to its fullest. Ear to ear, head to head, back to back and finally People to people!

After getting closer to each other the party got hot and sexy. The reason for that was another game, which was the high time for girls. From the two teams competing for the longest clothes row, Dr. Flowers chose the winner.

The tension between delegates of opposite sex were getting stronger. Pia just couldn´t resist watching Sarp's 6-pack. What a pity he put his T-shirt back on after the game,

right? Unfortunately, Pia wasn´t the only one for the Turk-ish delight. At some point we actually stopped counting the number of girls he danced with.

Apart from that, those not being eager to dance had a chance to enjoy them-selves playing various space games or wandering around the exceptional venue. We must admit that the music was just perfect to party hard awaiting the Apocalypse.

Having the resolutions defended, partied hard and having the session behind, now we can even face the Doomsday!

Nosa, nosa, assim voce me mata. Ai se eu te pego, Ai, ai se eu te pego...“. With this song and the Disco Pogo on, we rocked the Universe!

Have you ever felt so bad that the urge for something is only compa-rable to drugs? Marianne Munz & Iana Yukhimenko sure have.

Dear delegates,

The General Assembly is over and you are probably on your way home. Finally, you will be able to sleep the whole night through, maybe even you will get a few days of rest be-fore getting back to the real life. Now, it is totally normal if you have a strange and uncomfort-able feeling in your chest, as if you are missing something cru-cial. It doesn’t matter if this was your first or fourth session, you did, in any case, experience it. Generally, we have a spe-cial definition for this feeling. Post EYP Depression. PED can be commonly de-scribed as a strong and irre-sistible will to play strange and sometimes silly games; talking casually to completely unfamil-iar people; getting the tempt-ing desire for partying and the inexplicable struggle to speak up during every discussion.

Don’t be afraid – PED is a common EYP syndrome. There are several ad-

vices we are very willing to share with you, so that you won’t suffer too much.

First of all, take your res-olution booklet; open the Fa-cebook page and add as many friends as you can. However, add only people you remem-ber; in that case you avoid pos-sible awkward situations. Even so, do not reject any friend re-quests from the session – even if you might not remember the person, the person remembers you, and wants to keep in touch.

Second of all, 'like' the session page on Facebook 'Kyiv Regional Session 2012'.

That way, you will be updated on all pictures and movies up-loaded by the awesome press team from the session. You might also upload your own pictures, so you can keep in contact with your new friends through common memories. Third of all, if the PED is extremely hard to cope with,

allow yourself a couple of days inside, preferably in your bed with lots of chocolate and tis-sues. We recommend watch-ing episodes of 'How I met your mother', because than you will eventually discover that the joy in life is not dead even if the session is over.

We strongly advise every victim of PED to con-tact your national committee of EYP, and to browse upcom-ing EYP sessions online. Find something that you think will work good for you, and ap-ply as either a delegate or an official. There are over a hun-dred EYP events every year, and everyone will find some-thing that suits them good. Ei-ther you can go alone, or you can plan the trip with friends; EYP will always welcome you.

PED

It is normal to have a strange feeling in your

chest

With about as much ado as possible, I would like to finish the last paper with a picture. A picture of those who took All the pictures. I
