T
          hose who have been to Georgia know that this
          country has its own, special spirit which can
          be found in everything – in land, in wine, and
          in its incredible people. Traditions and values
          here are not on paper – they live in the hearts
of Georgians, making these people generous friends and
high-class hosts. Nothing can describe this better than
traditional Georgian celebration, the supra. Its strict order
of toasts and ceremonies don’t make the feast boring
and official – on the contrary, these traditions create the
atmosphere of warm unity and great fun. To experience
supra, tourists often attend special ceremonies held in
the traditional Georgian restaurants. However, there is
another way, much more true and soulful – just befriend a
Georgian! (Be yourself and this will happen much sooner
than you expect).
   What to expect from the feast itself?
   1) Tons of delicious Georgian food and oceans of wine
and chacha (be aware, it can be twice as strong as vodka);
   2) Lots of people, including friends, relatives, neighbors
and so on:)
   3) Tamada, a toastmaster of the party and its most re-
spected person. Tamada leads the supra, and all his orders
are obligatory. A true tamada can drink liters of wine
without getting drunk at all.
   4) Lots of toasts on all possible topics! But be prepared
to drink to God, Georgia, friendship, and beautiful ladies –
these toasts are a must at every supra.
   5) Lots of singing and dancing – Georgian party is for
sure not only about table talks! Everyone is free to invite
for a dance any partner without any distinction as to age,
status or type of relationship. Dance in Georgia means fun
and friendship.
   Even being the only non-Georgian at the party, don’t be
shy or timid – you are a guest here, not a stranger. Speak
from your heart, drink till the end – and you’ll have a time
of your life!
   And remember, if you haven’t experienced supra – you
haven’t seen a real Georgia.

                                                            been involved into EYP?

                                       1) It’s approximately 2 years; EYP is a part of my life.
                                       2) To my mind, the coolest EYP session was the 5th Is-
                                      tanbul 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. incred-
                                      ibly 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 success-
                                      ful participation in building more democratic, safe and peaceful
                                      Europe of tomorrow!!! :*


                        Tornike Zurabashvili
                          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, par-
                  ticipation 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.

                        to a rockstar, famous actor or politician?
         I consider such an activity as trying to find celebrity to whom
     you resemble very boring. However, a lot of people find this pur-
     suit quite funny.
         Surfing in the internet, I found that such kind of “having
     fun” is really popular. There are a lot of articles and forums about
     celebrity similarities. Moreover, I found few web-sites specially
     designated to find celebrity similarities.
         All you need is to upload your photo and wait for a minute…             “Did anybody tell you that you
     Done! You see a photo of someone famous and a wording below:                look like an actress?”
     “You look like Lauri Ylonen (frontman of the rock band The Ras-
     mus). Similarity 87%”.. as it was in my case. Of course, sure that
     I’m a pretty girl, I hoped to see:
         at first - female!
         as a wish - some attractive photomodel or actress.
         But the result was unexpected and quite interesting...
         Later I really found some similar features.

(though our Supra is a person, and no one else but our beloved vice-president on PR, but she is just as much of a celebration as Georgian Supra is). There are also two more very special features of EYP-Georgia: - Every time you go home after their session, you always want to come back to Georgia; - Friendship that you’ll find there will remain with you for your whole life. Of course, to form your own opinion of National Committee of every EYP-country you should go there yourself. But I promise that Georgia will not be the country to disappoint you. I assure you, Europe is bigger than it seems but a lot closer to us than you may think, and EYP-Georgia is a live example.
  • 5. 5 T hose who have been to Georgia know that this country has its own, special spirit which can be found in everything – in land, in wine, and in its incredible people. Traditions and values here are not on paper – they live in the hearts of Georgians, making these people generous friends and high-class hosts. Nothing can describe this better than traditional Georgian celebration, the supra. Its strict order of toasts and ceremonies don’t make the feast boring and official – on the contrary, these traditions create the atmosphere of warm unity and great fun. To experience supra, tourists often attend special ceremonies held in the traditional Georgian restaurants. However, there is another way, much more true and soulful – just befriend a Georgian! (Be yourself and this will happen much sooner than you expect). What to expect from the feast itself? 1) Tons of delicious Georgian food and oceans of wine and chacha (be aware, it can be twice as strong as vodka); 2) Lots of people, including friends, relatives, neighbors and so on:) 3) Tamada, a toastmaster of the party and its most re- spected person. Tamada leads the supra, and all his orders are obligatory. A true tamada can drink liters of wine without getting drunk at all. 4) Lots of toasts on all possible topics! But be prepared to drink to God, Georgia, friendship, and beautiful ladies – these toasts are a must at every supra. 5) Lots of singing and dancing – Georgian party is for sure not only about table talks! Everyone is free to invite for a dance any partner without any distinction as to age, status or type of relationship. Dance in Georgia means fun and friendship. Even being the only non-Georgian at the party, don’t be shy or timid – you are a guest here, not a stranger. Speak from your heart, drink till the end – and you’ll have a time of your life! And remember, if you haven’t experienced supra – you haven’t seen a real Georgia.

Salome Tsimakuridze 1) It’s approximately 2 years; EYP is a part of my life. 2) To my mind, the coolest EYP session was the 5th Is- tanbul 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. incred- ibly 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 success- ful participation in building more democratic, safe and peaceful Europe of tomorrow!!! :* Tornike Zurabashvili 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, par- ticipation 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.

Do tress and producer (“Bridget Jones’s your friends compare your friends compare you Diary”, “Chicago”, etc) to a rockstar, famous actor or politician? I consider such an activity as trying to find celebrity to whom you resemble very boring. However, a lot of people find this pur- suit quite funny. Surfing in the internet, I found that such kind of “having fun” is really popular. There are a lot of articles and forums about celebrity similarities. Moreover, I found few web-sites specially designated to find celebrity similarities. All you need is to upload your photo and wait for a minute… “Did anybody tell you that you Done! You see a photo of someone famous and a wording below: look like an actress?” “You look like Lauri Ylonen (frontman of the rock band The Ras- mus). Similarity 87%”.. as it was in my case. Of course, sure that I’m a pretty girl, I hoped to see: at first - female! as a wish - some attractive photomodel or actress. But the result was unexpected and quite interesting... Later I really found some similar features. You can see this example here: Member of PR department - Olena Grygorieva, Lauri Ylonen - the frontman of the Finnish alternative rock band The Vice-President on Public Relations - Rasmus. Anna Suprunenko Kristen Stewart – an American “Ania, have you ever actress (Bella Swan in “The Twilight met the vampires?” Saga”, etc) “Should I try such «raven» hair style?)” Board Member on International Activities - Nataliia Tarasevych Hayden Panettiere – an American actress and singer. More known as the bride of Wladimir Klitschko). “You may deceive our Ukrainian boxer!”
