EDITORIAL Dear participants of Riva del Garda 2018,
Now that the session has officially started, the Media Team would like to warmly welcome you in Italy. Between these pages, you will find a small glimpse of the output we are going to produce for the session. Thanks to this first issue, we wanted to help you with your topics. All of the journalists created an infographic to visualise the committee topics you are working on in order for you to have a better and clear understanding of it. This is from far not the only thing you can expect from us. The entire team is working hard in order to come up with fun, creative and interesting projects and outputs for all of you. Throughout the session, you will have the opportunity to take part in those projects and create your very own memories. This session might be your first one, but we know for sure it won’t be the last. EYP is full of opportunities, friends and memories. This is exactly why we are here. Our goal is to cover the entire session in order for you to never forget about your first EYP adventure. Best, The Media Team

Being a minority in your home country: Out of Europe’s close to 90 indigenous ethnic groups, 33 form the majority in at least one country, while the rest, constituting up to 14 percent of the European population, lives as ethnic minorities in their respective home countries. What can the EU do to protect the cultural and linguistic rights of these ethnic minorities, while at the same time ensuring the integration of these minorities into society and political life?

Net questions: With the United States Federal Communications Commission recently voting to end net neutrality, the question arises what position should the EU take with regards to this topic. Bearing in mind the existing legal framework and the positions of different EU Member States, should the EU follow the example of the United States and relax its legislation on net neutrality or push for stricter net neutrality rules?
