1) It’s approximately 2 years; EYP is a part of my life. 2) To my mind, the coolest EYP session was the 5th Istanbul International Forum. It was fabulously organised, with high academical level and amazing venues, city tours, parties, accommodation, etc. 3) My first associations which are connected with EYP-Ukraine are: well-organised, friendly and unique people who try to do their best to create awesome sessions in Ukraine. 4) 1. Georgians particularly love being the hosts 2. incredibly friendly 3. traditional 4. reliable 5. have sense of humour. These are the key points which make a Georgian. 5) I’m holding a glass of red wine (kidding) and saying: wish EYP-UA fantastic and productive work with genius youth from all over the world!! Wish EYP-UA continue its successful participation in building more democratic, safe and peaceful Europe of tomorrow!!! :*

1) I have been involved in EYP for almost 3 years. 2) I guess the best session I attended was Stockholm International Session. This was on the one hand my first international session as a delegate and it made me double-excited and one the other, the atmosphere of that particular session was beyond the normal quality of EYP international sessions. Plus, I got to talk at length at the General Assembly and then debated with other delegates, who were equally (if not more) experienced than me in those topics. For a person as motivated as I, participation in Stockholm IS turned out to be very challenging and intriguing time. 3) My first and last association with EYP-Ukraine is and will be Dmytro Honcharenko. 4) Plurality of ideas and features is what really makes a Georgian nation but these are some most common features that the majority of Georgians possess. 1. Freedom-loving 2. Creative 3. Energetic 4. Sociable/friendly 5. Devoted. 5) I wish you a lot of enthusiasm and success in all of your future endeavors. May you continue giving young Ukrainians the golden sessions and moments, you have been gifted in the past. Your success as EYP-Ukraine will always be met happily here in Georgia.
Kevin Austin (Kakhi Sanikidze) 1) I have been involved in EYP since October 2010, so pretty much for one year. 2) I think the coolest session for me was Georgian National Selection in May; I liked it because I was an Editor and I had an amazing team. 3) I have never been to Ukraine myself but I know some Ukrainian EYPers and I can say only positive. They are my lovely friends. 4) That’s hard to answer what makes a real Geor-
gian because everyone understands it in a different way. I think a real Georgian is patriot, orthodox Christian, very hospitable, good at dancing or singing, and probably loves wine too much, hehe. 5) I’d like to raise this toast to EYP-UA, to my amazing Ukrainian friends who made me fall in love with their country without ever being there. I’d like to wish them a lot of success and as good new generation as their old members are.
