Head of Jury's Vision The Jury fulfils a very specific yet easily misinterpreted role at sessions therefore my vision for the Jury Team of Basel 2022 and its members consists of the following key elements to help us achieve a positive, safe and productive experience for everybody involved: openness, communication and balance.

Openness To me openness is one of the most important assets any person, but especially any Jury Members can possess, which is why it is the first element on the list. While every Jury Member may have a certain idea of what they expect from delegates, keeping an open mind throughout the whole selection process is crucial. Delegates may behave differently from day to day, or even hour to hour and it is important to take all interactions into account and not necessarily stick to the first impression we formed of them. Furthermore we will spend a significant amount of time discussing amongst each other what we have observed, requiring us to be open to each others opinions and interpretations to ensure a positive team atmosphere. In addition, the benefits of being open minded can also be applied to many other things such as other teams or the session in general so I encourage all applicants to keep this in mind.

Communication Secondly, communication, which is a key word in EYP in general but never hurts to be repeated. Within our team I expect everyone to communicate in a timely and open manner so we can best support each other both before, during and after the session itself. As for the delegates, communicating to them clearly our work and intentions will make a huge difference in the way they perceive the Jury. Based on my experience most of the fear and anxiety delegates feel towards the Jury comes from a lack of understanding or connection to us as persons. Therefore I plan on having multiple opportunities for Jury Members to engage and communicate directly with delegates so that together we can create a safe and supportive experience for them.

Balance Lastly, I hope to create an experience for my team that offers them a chance to balance the different aspects of being a Jury Members and an Officials at a session with their personal goals for the event. While there will be much work to do, I plan on creating a time table with my team that includes not only our work but also personal priorities, such as for example getting to bed at a certain time each night, socializing with other participants or having time to themselves. Whatever it may be, personal welfare and safety will always come first and the overarching goal is to have a session that is both productive and fun at the same time.

I look forward to reading your applications and to maybe meet you in person at Basel 2022 very soon!

Session Theme

Active participation of citizens in local public life is a fundamental requirement of a democratic society. However, the major challenges of today increasingly have a supra-regional or even global dimension.

LOCAL INITIA GLOBAL CH 8

Whether it is climate change, digitalisation, health care, social welfare or public safety, hardly any issue seems to be addressed at the local level.

This can make young people in particular doubt whether they can make a positive contribution to social development by getting involved in local organisations, parties or communities.

Participating young people will be able to explore this question at this year's 26th National Selection Conference of the European Youth Parliament Switzerland (EYP Switzerland).

During five days, they will have the opportunity to deal with regional approaches through which they can make a significant contribution to solving global problems in their local communities. The aim is to

make a positive contribution to the political education of the participating young people and to encourage them to take an active part in social life.

As the heart of the border triangle, in which cross-border regional cooperation has been taking place for centuries, the city of Basel offers the ideal environment for dealing with this topic.

Session Location: Basel

The 26th National Selection Conference of EYP Switzerland will take place in Basel. Located in the so-called “Dreiländereck” where Switzerland, Germany and France meet, Basel has been an important place for international trade and exchangeever since the Middle Ages.

Therefore,it comes as no surprise that a key part of the city's identity to this dayis its diversity and multiculturalism. Today,Baselis renowned for its internationally recognised art museums,such as the Foundation Beyeler and the Kunstmuseum Basel. During the industrial revolution, Basel also became a hub of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry which profoundly influences the city’s architecture to this day.Since 2020 the Roche Bau 2 - the highest building in Switzerland - towers over the city.

Despite these strong international ties, Baselhas maintained to preserve its cultural heritage and traditions. Hence, Basel is the ideal place to explore the interaction between local initiatives and global developments, also reflected in the session motto. We hope that this year’sNational Selection Conference of EYP Switzerland in Basel allows you to discover how local initiatives can have a global impact!
