Call for Head Organisers Spring Regional Session 2021

1 European Youth Parliament

The call for Head Organisers for the Spring Regional Session of EYP Finland 2021 is now open. In this call we are looking for one to two Head Organisers to organise one of the three-day spring Regional Sessions of EYP Finland between April and June 2021.

For the year 2021, EYP Finland will introduce a new calendar for our Sessions, organising two three-day Regional Sessions in the spring and two in the autumn as well as a four to five-day National Session in the summer. The Sessions will last one day longer for Officials, including the Head Organisers.

As the Head Organisers you will be responsible for the practical arrangements of the Session, such as securing the venues, creating the program, acquiring sponsors and leading the Organising Team. You will also be working closely with the Session Leadership as well as the Board of EYP Finland.

Previous experience as Organisers in EYP Sessions and other events is recommended and considered an advantage, however, it is not a requirement as the newly selected Head Organisers will receive training. The training is mandatory and planned to be held online at the end of 2020.

Head Organising is a good way to challenge and develop as a person, experience a new perspective of Sessions, and receive important experience for later life. Head Organising takes a lot of time but gives back considerably more.
