rom the 4th till the 7th of April 2012 the 5th Kyiv Regional session of EYP – Ukraine took place. More than 100 representatives from 16 European countries gathered at the Institute of International Relations of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv to discuss burning ecological issues, which were united under the main topic of the session “Blue Planet: Red Alert? Think green!” In 8 committees delegates discussed global warming, nuclear power plants safety, renewable energy sources, recycling, sustainable water management, biodiversity etc. It was an event to remember for a lifetime. Organisers were doing their best to impress all the participants. And now we are going to find out whether their efforts were not vain. Maria Shcherbak (Interviewer)

DID YOUR EXPECTATIONS ABOUT THE SESSION COME TRUE? Everything turned out to be far far far from my expectations. When the session started, I felt as if nothing was done before and we have to organise everything on the spot, from the very beginning. Ievheniia Melekhovets (HO) I think my expectations came true: I expected the session to be awesome and unique, and it was like that! Except for the hotel and the food everything was fine. Luise Peeck (Delegate, DE) Totally. Kyiv was pretty wild. Very different culture from the one we have in Germany. I met a lot of friendly people and had a lot of fun. Arne Packschies (Delegate, DE)
