SCHENGEN, LUXEMBOURG, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 2014
INVASION J. Meijer Clear evidence of a joint invasion of Luxembourg by the Dutch and Belgians spotted in Schengen this week. Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg - also known as Benelux – were formerly referred to as the Low Countries. However, this relationship ended when Belgium and Luxembourg became independent in 1830 and 1890 respectively. It is reported that the Dutch and Belgians are arriving more and more regularly by train and car to the picturesque town of Schengen. Their strategy seems quite clear; gaining ground in the very south of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and work their way up to the capital by the end of the week. Their motives on the other hand, are not that obvious. The money and fine wines are obviously desired by the Dutch and Belgians, respectively. These superficial incentives are argued - although being very legitimate - rumour has it that the monarchies are planning on building a city that will be internationally recognised as a metropolis as the first step in their world domination.
EYP IS BACK IN LUXEMBOURG A.Hagarová EYP. European Youth Parliament. Three letters, three words. And either too much feelings to express them just as that, or no idea whatsoever. Right now, the only thing this abbreviation might mean for some of you is an uncertain future and yet unfulfilled expectation. Your head is full of ideas and maybe a bit of overwhelmed from the day you have just lived through. EYP as an organisation started in 1987 in France and only four years onwards, an International Session (IS) was held here in Luxembourg. Ever since then, the EYP has grown and developed, digging its way into the hearts of young people. Connec-
ting them thorough all the Europe and above, challenging, demanding, and giving. Now, twenty seven years after the founding and twenty three after the mentioned IS, EYP Luxembourg is raising from ashes just like the mythical phoenix, to shine and grow into its full beauty and potential. This small country - Groussherzogtum Lëtzebuerg, if you’d ask a native, has Europe in its very heart, However, any event of European Youth Parliament has not been organised on its grounds since 1991. What you experience now, therefore, is a proper comeback. Not only is it the first National Selection Conference (NSC) here in Luxembourg, it also happens to be one of the most “international” NSC-s you might ever have a chance to attend. This is surely a very promising kick-off. If you wanted to describe any EYP session in the best way possible, you would probably fail. There is no best way for everyone, a universal one, since the meaning of EYP differs from person to person. But as we are in Luxembourg, let us try to compare EYP to something luxurious – let us try chocolate. Everyone loves chocolate. It is sweet, yet might be sultry. You can eat it just like that or with pretty much anything. It can be both cheap and expensive and if you have a bar of chocolate, you find yourself in a possession of many friends right away. Everyone has his own way with chocolate, yet the point is to enjoy it to its fullest. To take the best out of it. And, no matter what your selfish self says, it is best shared. So enjoy away.
