Vaasa 2022 - Head-Organisers' vision

A safe space for all As the global pandemic has ravaged the field of youth organisation we felt it important to focus on building a community of like minded young people. We aspire to create an inclusive and caring environment with a low-barrier of entry for participation to all our participants through attentive organising with an emphasis on participant welfare. We will be working hard and diligently to ensure that VARS22 will be an open and safe space for our participants to share their experiences and learn the depths of what it really means to be part of the European community through dynamic interactions with others.

Welfare & community We believe that in EYP welfare and feeling of community go hand in hand so throughout the session we will be ensuring that all the participants, from the delegates to the leadership, get sufficient rest and nourishment alongside with emotional support by building the schedule of the session adequate rest times, filling meals and social coffee breaks. In VARS22 we will be organising fun daily, easy to attend activities, for our participants to get to know each other in covid safe environment. Keeping in mind that we all socialise differently, the activities will be tailored to resonate with all the participants in different ways.

In VARS22 no one will be left hungry, tired or excluded.
