An Introduction Welcome to the Regional Sessions of EYP Sweden 2018. This will be the second call for Presidents to our sessions since 2011, which we view with great excitement. This year the Regional Sessions will be held in the cities of Malmö, Stockholm and Östersund. Unfortunately, there will not be a western session held this year.

We are now looking for motivated Presidents to take on these remarkable projects this November. As President, you will together with the Project Managers work actively to form a session-specific vision and theme. This year the Project Managers takes part in a new decentralisation project, which means that more independence will be promised to the Leadership of the respective session.

Moreover, this years Regional Sessions holds the overarching theme ’’Culture and Diversity: The Heart of Sweden’’. This states a symbol for the different positions the different cities possess in the Swedish society. Malmö is known for it’s remarkable diversity, and as Sweden’s gate to Europe, it constitutes an important and beautiful symbol of the Heart of Sweden’s Diversity. Stockholm is the beating heart of all of Scandinavia, and with it’s veins consisting of top businesses, beautiful islands and history - it empowers the very heart of the Swedish culture. Östersund is a city we are extremely proud to welcome yet another Regional Session to. With Östersund being positioned in the very middle of Sweden, it becomes the centre of the winter from November to March. Its history reaching back to the 1700s, creates a remarkable and beautiful city - right in the Heart of Sweden.

The rest is for you to compose.

Östersund 2018 6th Northern Regional Session of EYP Sweden A word from the Head Organisers ''EYP is a politically independent platform which encourages the discussion of practical politics, furthering solutions as opposed to pandering to a certain political stance like what a youth association may easily fall into. Practical solutions to actual problems are what develops and evolves in our world. We want to provide a wide range of youth as possible with the ability to discuss practical politics within the EYP which is why we stretch our grasp to the northernmost parts of Sweden where the political capital can, on occasion, seem very far away.''

The session will be held in Östersund from the 29th of November for Officials to the 2nd of December.

The Application The application will be sent in through the members platform.
