The (not so) lost civilizations, by Pandora

(translation)

When I figured out that this session would be placed in Águas Santas – Maia, I have instanta-

neously felt that no other session could ever compete with this historical link between the

past and the present. Chronos might be a creepy guy but it will certainly transform this ses-

sion into something remarkable!

EYP has challenged all the delegates to a wonderful journey towards the Greek Civilization.

The luckiest ones will reach the Mount Olympus but all of them are (re)building the great and

stunning Maya, I mean, Maia Civilization!

From Mesoamerica to the Northern Portugal, Chronos’ ambassadors, a.k.a. EYP alumni, were

sent to share their knowledge about the EYPer’s life-cycle. Philosophically, the Maya be-

lieved that knowing the past meant knowing the cyclical influences that create the present,

and by knowing the influences of the present one can see the cyclical influences of the future.

Well, that’s it, once you know the legendary EYP spirit it will rule your entire daily routine …

and the deepest truth beneath this divine presence… it’s that EYP spirit will be forever in

your life. This is quite useful - you will finally be able to answer THE question. What do you

want to be in the future? An EYPer!

Mucho moche… Dá-

me mucho moooche –

YO SOY MACHO!

OPENING CERIMONY REVIEW, by Pandora

Discreetly sit, our Press Team was

working hard during the whole Opening

Ceremony. Their VIP badges allowed

their entry to a wonderful world plenty

of people dressed in suits and low-

profile skirts, stiletto and ties.

The board was crowded. The Local Gov-

ernment representatives were present,

since the Maia Municipality is hosting

this Session, but also the Director of

the High School of Águas Santas and the

former Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Silva Peneda.

The Mayor has congratulated the EYP Portugal for its work. He and Director Manuel Ferreira also

pointed out that the mission of EYP fulfills some specific youngsters’ needs, such as the improvement

of the civic participation and reinforcing their spirit of European identity.

Former MEP Silva Peneda has made a global review of his European information portfolio. He alerted

the audience for the difficult times that the European member states are living, since the European

economic system seems to be deeply damaged on assuring its competitiveness and that old dominance

in terms of education and knowledge. (HWE editorial note: nothing that the MEYP (Members of the

European Youth Parliament) could not have solved ;)

Ricardo Vasconcelos has spoken as representative of the EYP Portugal and has specially addressed all

the delegates some welcoming words that were as warm as a real hug! He has also stressed out how im-

portant teachers’ work is to develop this project and enrich them with renewed energies.

The Ambassadors of the participating Schools in this Session were challenging to perform a formal

speech presenting their homeland and/or their school. What a speech! Everyone is willing to visit

these six schools placed in three different regions. Beginning upside down, in the South, the Ambassa-

dor of High School André de Gouveia (Évora - EMPL) has stated that “living in Évora is spectacular”

and believe me, I might be quoting and writing it between inverted comas, but after that speech I could

have stated it myself since the Ambassador has been so convincing! I am now practicing my Alentejano

accent.

Climbing to the High Lands of Mangualde, the Ambassador of High School Felismina Alcântara (JEUNES)

almost made us feeling embarrassed, recalling how delighted we all were eating Pastéis de Feijão on

Friday night! Mnhami mnhami… then we have tuned us again to the Ambassador’s speech and noticed

that she was inviting us to visit Mangualde! Prepare your Pastéis, we’re just returning from Évora

right now and we’ll stop first in Torres Vedras.

High School Madeira Torres (ENVI) is only one of the several spots where we can have fun in Torres

Vedras – it seems that we don’t have to wait for the next Carnival, the spirit is always there. But be-

ware, you might find yourself in a time-travel machine all the way back to French Invasions! But you

don’t have to go back in time to find French Generals’ descendents, so keep climbing, the North is

waiting for you...

...or at least we were told by the High School Gonçalves Zarco (HUMAN, Matosinhos). They were waiting

for us in the beach, where we could observe how the fishing livelihood is still present up there but

Norteshopping told us the undeniable truth: Matosinhos has grown and modernized itself and it has so

much fun spots that we have to move to Vale de São Cosme whenever it’s time to study. The Ambassador

of Didáxis (ANIMAL) has told us that the geographical isolation provided by their school just respond

to students’ needs since 1975! They also used the space and their school conditions in order to prepare

themselves to this EYP journey altogether. But after the final exams, we have decided: we’ll have our

High School Seniors’ trip to Braga. The Ambassador of High School Carlos Amarante (CIVIL) has chal-

lenged us to go to São João de Braga but if we are still doing our exams at that time we will be back to

Braga in another opportunity because there is no lack of cultural initiatives for young people.

Ah, we hope that our President, Joana, will be able to go with us! Certainly she wants it so much as we

do because her speech has totally covered my eyes with true and warm joyful tears. I have no need to

quote Joana’s speech because once you heard that the XXIII National Session is solemnly opened… your

heart has already placed in every single corner of her welcoming speech.

What do we consider essential in a GA? – by a passionate and nostalgic ex-delegate, Afrodite

“Don’t feed them, teach them how to fish.”

Here are some tips from an outside observer of the GA:

Believe in your motion

The open debate on your motion serves the purpose of evaluating which will be its impact and if it

fits the European reality. It is your role to truly and wisely defend your motion, which can only be

possible if you believe in the measures you’re proposing.

Be passionate

Give the best of you. Each intervention shall be unique, remarkable and contribute to the debate.

Feeling butterflies in your stomach? Great, now you’re ready to intervene. Please, have a democ-

ratic orgasm.

Be aggressive, but not arrogant

While defending/attacking passion can lead you to be arrogant, which you should avoid and control

as impoliteness is NOT a rational argument, but only a negative

contribution to the debate itself.

Trust your colleagues and your Chair

With all the razzle dazzle characteristic of the GA, it is

important to rely on each and every person next to you. Most of

all, it is crucial to trust in your Chair, the person who was

specially chosen to tutor you, to be your older brother :)

Be straightforward and coherent

“What goes around, comes around” was a nice hit, but it

has already been forgotten. During the open debate avoid

pointing out the same aspects over and over again. When this

happens it is a vicious cycle, adding nothing further to the

discussion and breaking the rhythm and dynamic of the debate.

Be a true EYPer

During the GA you must not forget that the main

objective of EYP is to come up with resolutions for real

problems, which serve the purpose of accomplishing a

common good.

Last night Goddesses descended to earth to give us a wonderful presentation of Euroconcert. De-

spite the subtlety worthy of true divine deities, these beloved friends have showed to me their

worldly desires as any human being. I’m showing you a few likes of these celestial superiorities so

that you may know "How to please Silvia and Sara!”.

EUROCONCERT — a journey through Europe’s History by Kraken and Dionysus

It was certainly one of the most peculiar Euroconcerts ever, organized by Orgas and the newest team,

the Multis. It catapulted the audience to the most important events in European History, starting by

the Pre-Historic time and the Greek and Roman civilization. The delegation from Évora showed us a

Turkish version of “Ponha aqui o seu pezinho”, followed by a couple of songs well played by two ex-

cellent guitar players.

It went on with the Catholic Church influence on Middle Age, a time of general ignorance by the ma-

jority of people. Braga’s delegation recited a poem called “Celebr8”, in which they called the atten-

tion of everyone for diversity, and singing an

awesome playback version of “Bohemian Rhap-

sody” by Queen, showing an excellent interpre-

tation of (the shir tless) Freddy Mercury.

The historic review went on, as the Renascence

and the Discoveries of the XV and XVI centuries

demonstrated the importance of Pão-de-Ló and

its preference by English erudite poets. Fama-

licão’s delegation was next with their D’

Artagnan and the three Mosqueteers play, fol-

lowed by a Shakespeare poem and the Sid Vicious’

version of “My Way”.

Page 5: Holy Waters Express #2

Absolutism was the next political model of the XVII and

XVIII centuries, putting in evidence Russian and French

vodka and wine. The delegation from Mangualde was next,

giving us a musical adapted mash-up performance about

drinking problems, in a really authentic theatrical role by

one really «drunk» delegate.

Both World Wars were emphasized as the two most radical

events in the History of Europe (and mankind) during the

XX Century. Then, Matosinhos’ delegation presented us

with a Video and Karaoke play about Human Rights and

their own delegation, showing us how united as a group

they are, leaving the audience astonished with their call-

ing: “Hey sexy lady, support my motion”.

After the new geographical reality formed by the end of

World War II, USSR and the United States were involved in

a war with no casualties but with lots of tension – the

Cold War. While this was happening, Europe was starting to

walk towards nowadays reality of the European Union. The

delegation from Torres Vedras was the last delegation to

perform, and they did a satiric play about fish interacting

in society, illustrating people’s behavior, especially when

one of them lost his pants.

In the final part, Alguém and Brandão ended up with a motto: “EYP unites people, even if they have

their own little differences”. After being expelled from the stage by the Indian Pocahontas, a video

was shown, containing symbolic moments from this and other EYP Sessions, being one of the high-

points of the night and providing the audience with lots and lots of pure laughter.

EYP State of Mind, the next performance, was a song about the EYP spirit, giving the delegates (and

teachers) some ideas about what it is all about, giving special relevance at sleepless nights. How-

ever, Lennon’s “Imagine” interpretation was touching enough to be an unforgettable moment in any

EYPer memory, not only because of lovely Silvia’s violin and Brandão’s guitar, but also because of

dozens of people’s voices becoming just one in a shout for PLUR – peace, love, union and respect.

“Do you really know your teachers!?” by Kraken

... We have a turkish teacher in our Session! Yeah, Sevil

is a very recent graduated teacher who is in Portugal

due to Comenius Programme. She came here with the

Secondary School of André Gouveia, Évora, and she is

22! Welcome Sevil!

... Teacher Lurdes from Didáxis had already had 8 boy-

friends! But attention, we’re speaking about the seri-

ous relations here!

… Teacher Manuela from Évora, is the guilty for all

the mystery that it was created around the Shcnuli-

luli!

… Teacher Sara from Mangualde has two daughters in

the session. Yeah, that’s true. First we’ve a new dele-

gate and than we’ve a very known EYPeer who had par-

ticipated in several EYP Sessions, Sílvia Vermelho, a

wonderful Journo of this session!”

… Teacher Margarida from Matosinhos wanted to be a

butcher when she was a kid. Unfortunately she didn’t

get it but now she’s teaching a lot of special “pieces

of meat”

A MOTHER OF HUNDRENDS by Kraken

She’s always busy walking around. She never let goes of her phone. No, it is not Catarina! ... It is the

wonderful, beautiful, sweetest Professora Eduarda!

Good morning! Before starting, let me express how fantastic you look, younger and younger each time!

Now confess, is it EYP that does that to you?

(Laughing) Of course! But are there any doubts?

How does it feel to always be surrounded by post-adolescents and pseudo-adults? Do you feel like a

mother or like a friend?

Actually both. For me it can get very complicated since I am a teacher in deed and I am more than

accustomed to having to dispense my shoulder from time to time, especially when someone is feelin

down. But that’s also what mothers do, right?

We know how hard it is to be a mother, a teacher, a strong woman and a EYPer at the same time. Still

you always manage to do things with a smile on your face. Are you some kind of super woman?

(Blushing) No, not really ... I do not think so ... Well, maybe a bit! Depends on the day. Sometimes I

consider I fail a lot because I cannot do things as perfectly as I’d like, but usually it is also diffi-

cult to find time for everything - to be a teacher, to handle several projects at the same time - but

especially to be a mother since there are times when I have to postpone my familiy affairs. Surely

not easy ... no!

Why is that there’s always more female teachers than male? Especially in EYP… Do you think Sílvia

Vermelho has anything to do with this?

No, I do not think so (laughs) Women have all the blame, and I stick to my theory that men have no

capacity for this type of work. Even in class you can see that girls take more entrepreneurial ini-

tiative than boys, they respond very well to the challenges imposed...

A piece of advice for the other teachers?

Do not regret nothing! Nothing! Since I joinesd this project I’ve done things I’ve never thought I’d

be able to. I’m this new better person now.

Tell us.. Are you already able to tell the twins apart? What kind of tricks do you use?

Honestly – I cannot! (a lot of laughter)

Thank you so much. Keep up with the good work!

Teachers Quotes

“A magical rushy dream weekend” – Prof. Margarida, Matosinhos

“Star’s raining” - Prof. Esmeralda, Mangualde

“The light of a dark day” – Prof. Beatriz, Didáxis

”A very strong Flame” – Prof. Sara, Mangualde

“J’étais à la recherche d’inspiration ... Je l’ai Trouvée” – Prof. Dulce, Torres Vedras

“Outstanding example of European awareness with a print of unity humour. Wonderful human beings

these youths! EYP Rule!!!” – Prof. Paula Paulo, Torres Vedras

“Ausgezeichnet” – Prof. Manuela, Évora

“Excellent” – Prof. Ana, Évora

“This was nothing in the face of what’s to come!” – Prof. Lurdes, Didáxis

“It’s the first time that I have participated in such a beneficial organization, where the students are

given a chance to think about solutions about problems that are concerned all over the Europe. It’s

impressive to see how they can speak a second language that fluently and so comfortably, which is very

hard to achieve with the students in Turkey where grammar is given highly importance than speaking

itself. With this Parliament I have realised that there’re many to be changed in the Public Schools’

system in Turkey.” – Prof. Sevil, Évora.

BEHOLD… THE MIGHTY CC (SISSY)! By Pandora

Good Morning, CC. First of all, the long coat idea: was it yours or Mourinho’s?

I’m shocked! I use long coats for a long long time, of course the follower was Mourinho, I’m always the

leader. What a lack of personality to imitate those who are really inspiring people!

What has Mourinho told you when he discovered that you were going to be CC?

He confessed me how frustrated he was! Well, it’s life… He can’t even face us, and this is why he doesn’t

come to a single EYP session...

What scheme will you use in this session? Have you previously work with all the chairs?

Of course, all the chairs need to prepare themselves, just like their delegates. I am pretty confident

about their preparation, because I really trust this team. They are the truly the EYP “crème de la

crème” – and I mean it!

What do you expect of your chairs in this session?

Well, they have already proved that they really belong to the brightest EYP alumni. So I’m expecting

the maximum of their minimum basics: the excellence and brightness.

Amongst all the chairs, who is the best liar?

That’s an easy question, thank you for this one, HWE. I will point out Mariana Vieira, UNDOUBTEDLY. She

uses her sweetness, her social skills and brains, in order to manipulate everyone. She can be danger-

ous! Indeed, you cannot find a better liar when you have Mariana Vieira nearby.

Page 8: Holy Waters Express #2

And the Scrooge McDuck one?

Another easy one: Mariana Catarino. She loves to show her iphone and her Mac, well, she is all

about Apple! And those shoes, have you noticed, how parisienne she thinks they are? Well, take

that: 5 euros the pair. She sells fashion but she doesn’t look at the mirror during the shopping

process… she is always looking into her pocket!

Name the one who spends more time in the bathroom.

Seriously, now this interview is becoming boring! Can’t you find a tougher question? OF

COURSE it is João Leal who spends more time in the bathroom. Putting those piercings on, get-

ting his hair done as if he were a Dragon Ball character… That requires at least one hour. He

should pay an entire RD team to create a Viagra pill for that hair!

Who would you take home in a rainy and stormy night in order to watch Love Actually and to eat

chocolate? Why?

Well, Love Actually is so unexciting that I would need someone to make me staying awake, so I

would pick João Moreira. He could always play suricata for me. But when it comes to choco-

late… I would rather pick them all.

Do you think Katyzinha would be a great chair?

Ah, now we are back to the challenging questions! My answer is a big YES. She is quite a leader

and she has the guts required by the EYP. How thrilled would I be if I saw Katyzinha being a

chair alongside the twins (Flávio and Tiago). I can distinguish them, of course, but I wonder if

Katyzinha would… They’d always have to have their jeans hanging low below their bums. (HWE

recommends you not to miss the next edition if you want to figure this mystery out).

Do you still remember when you were a chair? Back then, what have you thought about your CC?

I have always admired this hard task and subsequently the ones who perform it. Being a Chair

Coordinator is so about improving the whole General Assembly and the EYP spirit! The CC is a

more experienced person, someone whom you learn a lot with! The CC is a leader, an advisor

and a shoulder where you can cry on. The high levels of stress lived in an EYP session require a

firm hand and the CC is that hand, that picks you up every time the big fat poney hangover and

the EYP depression are devastating you.

In what extent your work as a CC and in EYP in general is related with your daily routine?

There are few opportunities in and outside the formal school system to develop some skills

which are essential in the future, namely in the labor market. Those soft skills, such as man-

aging conflict, being able to organize an event, practicing foreign languages, teambuilding

and simply to interact with dozens of people every session, are useful and help me to be effi-

cient and effective in all my others activities and life’ spheres.

And of course, I am so grateful that being a CC makes me feel that my mission is accomplished

whenever I see the extraordinary performance of my chairs!

Last but not least, leave a message to your outstanding fans.

Feel sorry for Mourinho, keep enjoying his style – I am sure he will gladly accept you as a

friend on Facebook. But if you are fancying EYP, live this session to the edge and shout the

loudest you can the sweet song in honor of the Big Fat Poney.

A typical day in the life of an organizer (here by the example of Catarina), by Poseidon

Saturday:

4:30 – Go to sleep; 6:30 – Get up.

This is just ordinary routine for your Head-organizer

who gladly makes sure everything is ready and most

importantly, ready on time, even if it means she has to

sacrifice herself so YOU don`t have to. She may be the

Head-organizer but she certainly doesn`t just stand

back watching and giving orders.

The HWE talked to some of the organizers and they all

agreed in one thing: Catarina is an awesome Head-

organizer. They said she “knows how to give orders. She

treats us well and respects us.”, “She is really organ-

ized, she really knows how to get the job done…” She is

such an awesome Head-organizer she was even asked to

take care of an air conditioner that didn`t exist. She

can solve any problem and she wants to do everything.

“if you don`t go after her to do your job, she might just do it for you”.

Catarina was also interviewed by HWE because we know EYP wants to know who your Head-organizer

is in fact.

Catarina has been in the EYP family for four years now and she confided us that her best EYP mo-

ment was 2 years ago when she was asked to join the Board of EYP Portugal.

2 years later Catarina goes both ways ac-

cumulating Boarding work but is always

doing and completing her Head-organizer

tasks, letting no one down but surprising

us all, being said by one organizer that

for a normal person to do what she does in

22 hours (remember she slept 2) they

would need 48.

Think of Catarina as a vampire who can`t

normally leave her home because of the

sun (except if you`re a Twilight vampire)

but she doesn`t leave because she doesn`t

want to and her home is all you EYPers.

The soft (mole) side of Miguel Paiva: by Poseidon

What was your best EYP moment: When somehow I emotioned my delega-

tion and chair.

Tell us something about yourself no one knows: I write poetry”; “I have never had a

girlfrien

Why do you think you have star quality: “Because I have a big nose. (Beware of

Santana)

What do you want to say to the new delegates? : When I am working I think to myself

(and smiling) “I love this”, and I really mean it. This is what EYP gives us - emo-

tions, challenges, culture and bonds. EYP transcends human spirit and you can only

I have star

quality!!!

Mind the

Code!

Who`s good

with fingers?

ME!

STACEY & CLINTON’S TIPS: be SmartCasual by Hermes

Moura and Catarina long have been struggling with the

purpose of banning the so-called tacky outfits often

seen in EYP session. There’s always someone who is will-

ing to ruin their morning happiness with a pair of elec-

tric pink boots, a golden-lettered yellow shirt or a set

of hideous accessorizing.

The most ridiculous outfit you’ve seen in a EYP session?

Catarina – some delegate once with a tight white sweat

-shirt displaying huge pink letters on the GA.

Moura – once, an organizer had such a short dress, that

only her groin was covered – her teacher begged her to

change for something less revealing!

What kind of techniques you use to achieve a consistent

wardrobe?

Catarina – i often watch Clinton and Stacey’s show.

Moura – I try to follow the trends of haute couture,

going to shops before Sales, setting a list of items i

would need/like to buy, attend some fashion shows, read

fashion blogues… a lot of things really! I might even

sometimes watch Gossip Girl – they always have nice

outfits!

Some nice EYP fashion moment…

Moura- I remember being an organizer for the first time and being awed by this extremely well-

dressed guy with an elegant suit, a long coat and - cherry on top of the cake - a yellow scarf! I after-

wards came to find this precise guy was our sissy Nuno Nunes! See, for instance, at this particular

case, the contrast had a very positive outcome, but we need to be careful, since other contrasts may

not be as esthetical as that one.

Catarina – Exactly! Sometimes these mixtures are just not tolerable, such as mixing patterns. If one’s

wearing a tigresse or a floral pattern, one has to make sure it is well conjugated with neutral colours.

Tigresse plus red lipstick is forbidden!

It turns out to be more difficult for men to stand out in a crowd of formal dress code, since there aren’

t many possibilities, being the suit often the accepted in these situations. How do you think men can

overcome this?

Moura – Try accessories! Try scarves, coats – a beautiful coat is the best ticket for an outstanding

profile… Women, on the other hand, well, their dressing habits can be defined by their shoes – trendy

outfits MUST always include gorgeous shoes!

What do you consider tacky in clothing?

Catarina – t-shirts with D&G written on its front – you can immediately tell they’re a fake! Also not

very much a fan of jeans with glitter drawings and I surely can’t stand those kind of round earings

where birds can land on.

Moura – Louis Vitton purses worn with trainers or training suits – blergh! Totally opposite meanings,

it can even get painful!

Thank you and keep on being glamorous!

WHO IS WHO? by Hermes

Responding to the requests of many fans and families, HWE decided it was about time someone

would reveal the REAL tricks to tell the twins apart. Indeed, we ran for help in Ana Isabel’s

arms – and she so very kindly cooperated. Long knowing those two, Ana Isabel assured us that

these are guaranteed tips. Here are some:

A new energy: meet the Multimedia Team! Certainly born in the 90s by Dionysus

Along with human evolution, EYP Portuguese Sessions are also evolving into something...new.

It’s in this context that a new team emerges from the ashes of ignorance and incompetence:

the Multimedia Team! Yes, they’re here to take over the world with their nerdy cameras and

silly tripods, but are they that different from ordinary human beings?

André Alguém, João Gregório and João Brandão are all members of this new generation of

equipment holders. Now, I’ll ask the most heard question of this weekend: “What the hell does

Multimedia Team do??”. First of all, they’re responsible for every picture you see on this

Journal (yes, even the crappy ones). Secondly, they’re the suitable people to carry photo

equipment. And on the third place…well, there’s nothing else, really. If you see them walking

around and not doing anything, probably they’re waiting for their batteries to recharge. Or

maybe they’re just allergic to work.

This new Team of Officials is needed to portrait every single funny moment, stupid context

or flirty face...in the name of all those little girls who loooove to take pics for their Face-

book or Hi5, thank you Multimedia Team!
