THE CAMP The 5th Training Camp of EYP - Ukraine will be held in the seashore city Odesa, between the 12th and the 15th of August, 2021. It will gather around 70 participants from Germany. Russia, Belarus, Geargia, Armian and Azerbaijan. The project seeks to develop soft skills of European youth by organising a platform for intercultural dialogue and sharing diverse ideas and practices among young people during 4-day training courses and evening activities. It is a combination of informal education in diverse teams and cultural activities with sincere talks along the seashore. Training Camp is a non-formal education platform for future participants of EYP events. It will prepare them to effectively perform at future EYP events as an official: organiser, academic or media team member. The main training course encompasses 4 different fields: Project Management, Team Management, Media and Photography and NGO Management. Each participant (trainee) will have a chance to choose one of the tracks to focus on. Additionally, they will also be able to visit other tracks if they wish, therefore getting a broader perspective and knowledge from different areas. Participants of the 5th Training Camp will also be able to develop their soft skills and learn more about active participation in decision-making within their local communities. Apart from the main training course, the 5th Training Camp will compromise different evening non-formal activities. With participants arriving from different countries, social and economic backgrounds, we hope that the evening events will help participants improve their cultural sensitivity and prepare them to work in a diverse environment.
THE TRAINING TRACKS
ODESA TRAINING CAMP 12-15 AUGUST 2021
PROJECT MANAGEMENT As a network for young people by young people, thousands of volunteers are involved as project managers, organising hundreds of annual events in their spare time. Youngsters learn by being part of a team of dedicated volunteers and receiving hands-on education in the build-up to their event. While much of the learning about event management happens through this learning-bydoing principle, our National Committees offer many different workshops and separate training courses to prepare our volunteers for these tasks. The current training track is one of them. Key components of this training track are modules on the planning, implementation, and evaluation of a project as well as human resources management and the basics of communication. Project management track will be designed to provide the trainees with the knowledge on launching a successful start-up, their own project or an effective social campaign on a local and international level. The training module on “Fundraising” was defined as the most important for the current training track. As a network of independent organisations, EYP raises funds to support its various activities from a range of different actors and partners. The trainees of the Project Management track will learn the basics and the best modern European practices of business communication, grant writing, and local fundraising.

MEDIA& PHOTOGRAPHY Young volunteers in EYP are eager to tell others about their work and the EYP. Using social media, online campaigning tools, and press work, our volunteers are actively communicating about our aims, projects and mission. In order to develop their communication in a coherent manner and to share knowledge about new techniques and channels to communicate, trainings on PR & communication are a substantial part of the EYP training courses. Members of the media track will receive practical skills of raising social awareness through social and media campaigns. It will further help them to tackle different ecological, political and social problems within their local community using the most effective tools of raising social awareness.

NGO MANAGEMENT& DEVELOPMENT As a constantly growing network of volunteers, EYP has an increasing need for developing its capacities in NGO management and development. Each year, the International Office, as the main governing body of the EYP network, orginises a National Committee Management and Development Training in different European countries in order to share the most effective practices in the current field. Since the foundation of the European Youth Parliament in 1987, its National Committees have gone through many changes and were able to define the best practices of managing and developing an NGO. During the 5-day training modules, the team of experienced EYPers from different countries will share these practices with the trainees of the current track. The training track will focus on knowledge management in NGOs, human resources management, networking, fundraising, and legal aspects of managing an NGO within the European countries. This track will also be useful for those who want to start their own business within continental Europe and will provide them with the most effective practices of managing their start-up.
