   The sun has finally gone out
from clouds. Undoubtedly, nature
felt that the 2nd International Fo-
rum of Batumi had officially
opened! Yeah, EYP-ers had already
arrived in Batumi and got ready to
start the most joyful Teambuilding
Games. Gathering was planned in
the wonderful BATUMIAN park
(6th May park). The weeping wil-
lows and shine lake all around the
park had created truly picturesque
view. This incredible scenery was truly enough to draw in-
spiration and our EYP-ers have finally begun to play such
desired teambuilding games.
      Creatively they have started with a Big fat pony and
then called up ZULUS. As usually at EYP sessions, we have
showed once more how can ameba turn into the rabbit
firstly, into the gorillas secondly, into the Superman thirdly
and then finally to reach the perfection – to turn into the
EYP-ers. This is a quite simple example of such complicat-
ed metamorphosis, but as you know nothing is wondering
in EYP, because here everyone takes everything easy,
yeah, easy but takes it! This is the power! Herewith, EYP-
ers are much more wise guys than you can imagine. They
are well aware that having one head is good thing, but
having two of them is quite better. That is why they are
Building a Team… That is why they can take everything
easy: they are not acting alone but they are in the team.
  It was already getting dark but EYP-ers were going on to
build their strong team with having so much fun together.
Looking at the romantic and very purple sunset from un-
forgettable seaside, delegates were imitating the funky
chickens still reminding azure Batumi on their mind :) Yeah,
funky chickens were running along the park and seaside
yesterday. :)

Eurovillage is definitely the
most beloved part of the EYP Ses-
sion. Why? It’s so simple to guess.
Because there is always plenty of
food, drinks and, obviously, the greatest doze of joy. At
Batumi International Forum everything was in traditional
way, but seems that we overdosed. Delicious national
meals, interesting country presentations and, finally, the
welcoming video of the session from our Editor and journo
team. All this gave us unforgettable feelings and memories
to carry on.

Top chart of Eurovillage meals:
 ―Bakhlava‖ (Azerbaijan)
 Lobiani (Georgia)
 Cheese (Georgia & Latvia)
 Fish (Latvia)
 Sausage (Hungary)


As Georgia is the host country, its table was bigger than
others’. But due to design and plenty of country information
brochures, on the top probably was still Georgia’s neighbor
- Azerbaijan. Georgia was presented by National dresses,
flags, silver dagger, wine, ―Lobiani‖ hospitability.




During the country presentation the level of patriotism was
on vertex. But then was a welcoming video – with EYP un-
official anthem, funny sketches and welcoming videos of
EYP-ers from Kutaisi, Europe and even US.

                                                             From the very first look at John Como, Chair of

                                                             John’s European outfit (favorite brand: ZARA) was grab-

                                                             living. It would be true to call him even child of the world
                                                             or cosmopolite person. He had been living in USA, Mexi-
                                                             co and China. Currently he is living in Sweden and plan-
                                                             ning to change his place of habitant and start University
                                                             in UK. We all wish John god luck for this goal!
                                                             As all true Europeans know number of languages, he is
                                                             also not exception. He speaks English, Swedish, Italian
                                                             and Spanish (Georgian is in the plans for future).
                                                             John as EYPer has not so big experience as Shamal (who
                                                             has attended approximately 70 EYP sessions), but he is
                                                             planning to get more involved in the regional or interna-
                                                             tional sessions. As he recalls his first EYP regional ses-
                                                             sion in Sweden he says that at first the teambuilding
                                                             games were very strange for him. So debutant delegates
                                                             should not be shocked or depressed after teambuilding -
                                                             such feelings are common for all delegates.




      Mariko Takaishvili is involved in organizing and
chairing the EYP sessions in Georgia from the very beginning. For
her EYP started after attending Lviv regional session (2008). ―It was
                                                                              BATWOMAN
one of the superb sessions I have ever been! I met with so many
friendly and interesting guys…. I made the defense speech for the
GA and it was quite successful for my first try‖, - Mariko recalls.
Mariko admits that the most beloved part of the session for her the
session is teambuilding part, but she recognizes that GA is the most
important element as everyone can see the final product of their
hard work.
Mariko as true EYP leader has some important plans regarding the
future of EYP-Georgia. She is planning to organize some training for
the active members of the organization. This initiative would very
much donate in the process of sessions’ quality raising.
As an organizer of previous Batumi International Forum, Mariko re-
calls the president of the Forum Shamal:”Shamal is great per-
son! He does everything with huge enthusiasm. He was
sharing his experience as with delegates and chairs also
with us- organizers. At night he was gathering us and giv-
ing feedbacks, which were really useful.”
Mariko is now making her masters degree in International Law and
parallel she is working in the Ministry of Justice. But Mariko admits:
―EYP for me is like-part time job, for which I feel a huge responsibil-
ity‖. It seems this woman can manage everything. Wish you good
luck for your career and EYP.

What will you do when you exceed EYP age limit? – I have plenty of

Mariam Chikhladze                     The most intellectual, responsible and serious chair in EYP Georgia. Her attitude to-
ward the teambuilding is oriented on the building trust and collaboration between the delegates. One of her favorite
games is palm and fist which elaborates the partnership between team members.
As an experienced chair, Mari can operate in any committee, despite the knowledge of delegates. Her passionate work
makes everyone involved and specified on the work.
First session for Mari was Sumy 3rd regional session in Ukraine. Primary impression of EYP was very positive; she was
satisfied with the experience and intelligence of the delegates and chairs. “Honestly, this session had big im-
portance for my life. Since then I am very actively involved in EYP and I am not going to give up it! I want
to take part in process of making EYP-Georgia the most successful brand among youth organizations. We
should attract many innovative and educated students”.
Mari believes that ―in the future she will become a president of the session in Georgia and in nearest future a
president of International Session too‖. Mari, we wish you to achieve all your goals!

                      range of policies that increased women’s
                      options. But what about other European
                      states? The women representation in the
                      national parliaments of Caucasian countries
                      varies between 5-11%; 15-20% in Eastern
                      European countries; 39-46% in Scandinavi-
                      an states. Who can be the defender of
                      women right in the country where there is
                      such dramatic gender inequality in political
                      institutions?
                                 What can we see in Scandinavian

                      sexual harassments are quite often in Geor-

                      of even thoughts about violence on gender
                      bases.
                                 So FEMM committee delegates be-

                         trol the numbers speak for themselves. With
                         42,672 km of external sea borders and

                         coordinating the activities of the nation-

                         Frontex’s headquarters is
                         in Warsaw, Poland. Its responsibility is es-

  • 3. By Tiko Akhvlediani Page 3 The sun has finally gone out from clouds. Undoubtedly, nature felt that the 2nd International Fo- rum of Batumi had officially opened! Yeah, EYP-ers had already arrived in Batumi and got ready to start the most joyful Teambuilding Games. Gathering was planned in the wonderful BATUMIAN park (6th May park). The weeping wil- lows and shine lake all around the park had created truly picturesque view. This incredible scenery was truly enough to draw in- spiration and our EYP-ers have finally begun to play such desired teambuilding games. Creatively they have started with a Big fat pony and then called up ZULUS. As usually at EYP sessions, we have showed once more how can ameba turn into the rabbit firstly, into the gorillas secondly, into the Superman thirdly and then finally to reach the perfection – to turn into the EYP-ers. This is a quite simple example of such complicat- ed metamorphosis, but as you know nothing is wondering in EYP, because here everyone takes everything easy, yeah, easy but takes it! This is the power! Herewith, EYP- ers are much more wise guys than you can imagine. They are well aware that having one head is good thing, but having two of them is quite better. That is why they are Building a Team… That is why they can take everything easy: they are not acting alone but they are in the team. It was already getting dark but EYP-ers were going on to build their strong team with having so much fun together. Looking at the romantic and very purple sunset from un- forgettable seaside, delegates were imitating the funky chickens still reminding azure Batumi on their mind :) Yeah, funky chickens were running along the park and seaside yesterday. :)
  • 4. By Kristina Margvelashvili Eurovillage is definitely the most beloved part of the EYP Ses- sion. Why? It’s so simple to guess. Because there is always plenty of food, drinks and, obviously, the greatest doze of joy. At Batumi International Forum everything was in traditional way, but seems that we overdosed. Delicious national meals, interesting country presentations and, finally, the welcoming video of the session from our Editor and journo team. All this gave us unforgettable feelings and memories to carry on. Top chart of Eurovillage meals:  ―Bakhlava‖ (Azerbaijan)  Lobiani (Georgia)  Cheese (Georgia & Latvia)  Fish (Latvia)  Sausage (Hungary) As Georgia is the host country, its table was bigger than others’. But due to design and plenty of country information brochures, on the top probably was still Georgia’s neighbor - Azerbaijan. Georgia was presented by National dresses, flags, silver dagger, wine, ―Lobiani‖ hospitability. During the country presentation the level of patriotism was on vertex. But then was a welcoming video – with EYP un- official anthem, funny sketches and welcoming videos of EYP-ers from Kutaisi, Europe and even US.
  • 5. By Mariam Chubabria & Tiko Akhvlediani Page 5 From the very first look at John Como, Chair of BA UMAN FEMM committee, you could easily notice that he is true SEA European guy. While walking in the streets of Georgia John’s European outfit (favorite brand: ZARA) was grab- bing locals’ attention. STAR But not only his appearance is western, also his way of living. It would be true to call him even child of the world or cosmopolite person. He had been living in USA, Mexi- co and China. Currently he is living in Sweden and plan- ning to change his place of habitant and start University in UK. We all wish John god luck for this goal! As all true Europeans know number of languages, he is also not exception. He speaks English, Swedish, Italian and Spanish (Georgian is in the plans for future). John as EYPer has not so big experience as Shamal (who has attended approximately 70 EYP sessions), but he is planning to get more involved in the regional or interna- tional sessions. As he recalls his first EYP regional ses- sion in Sweden he says that at first the teambuilding games were very strange for him. So debutant delegates should not be shocked or depressed after teambuilding - such feelings are common for all delegates. Mariko Takaishvili is involved in organizing and chairing the EYP sessions in Georgia from the very beginning. For her EYP started after attending Lviv regional session (2008). ―It was BATWOMAN one of the superb sessions I have ever been! I met with so many friendly and interesting guys…. I made the defense speech for the GA and it was quite successful for my first try‖, - Mariko recalls. Mariko admits that the most beloved part of the session for her the session is teambuilding part, but she recognizes that GA is the most important element as everyone can see the final product of their hard work. Mariko as true EYP leader has some important plans regarding the future of EYP-Georgia. She is planning to organize some training for the active members of the organization. This initiative would very much donate in the process of sessions’ quality raising. As an organizer of previous Batumi International Forum, Mariko re- calls the president of the Forum Shamal:”Shamal is great per- son! He does everything with huge enthusiasm. He was sharing his experience as with delegates and chairs also with us- organizers. At night he was gathering us and giv- ing feedbacks, which were really useful.” Mariko is now making her masters degree in International Law and parallel she is working in the Ministry of Justice. But Mariko admits: ―EYP for me is like-part time job, for which I feel a huge responsibil- ity‖. It seems this woman can manage everything. Wish you good luck for your career and EYP.

Why did apply for second ses- sion? – The president of EYP Czech Republic is my best friend’s brother and he just pushed me into this. Why did you apply for Batumi International Forum? – I have never seen Georgia before. I was very much interested. What is your main goal? - Organizing EYP International Session What will you do when you exceed EYP age limit? – I have plenty of time. For example, president of EYP Romania is 35 years old… Mariam Chikhladze The most intellectual, responsible and serious chair in EYP Georgia. Her attitude to- ward the teambuilding is oriented on the building trust and collaboration between the delegates. One of her favorite games is palm and fist which elaborates the partnership between team members. As an experienced chair, Mari can operate in any committee, despite the knowledge of delegates. Her passionate work makes everyone involved and specified on the work. First session for Mari was Sumy 3rd regional session in Ukraine. Primary impression of EYP was very positive; she was satisfied with the experience and intelligence of the delegates and chairs. “Honestly, this session had big im- portance for my life. Since then I am very actively involved in EYP and I am not going to give up it! I want to take part in process of making EYP-Georgia the most successful brand among youth organizations. We should attract many innovative and educated students”. Mari believes that ―in the future she will become a president of the session in Georgia and in nearest future a president of International Session too‖. Mari, we wish you to achieve all your goals!

  • 8. By Mariam Chubabria Approximately a century ago first-wave feminism activities started and women of western countries struggled for women’s suffrage. The aim of second-wave feminism of 60ies was not just political emancipation but women’s liberation from sexual and psy- chological abuses. Among Eu- ropean coun- tries the Scan- dinavian wel- fare states have been labeled as woman- friendly, and this term implies that they have been responsive towards women’s claims, given them a voice and adopted a range of policies that increased women’s options. But what about other European states? The women representation in the national parliaments of Caucasian countries varies between 5-11%; 15-20% in Eastern European countries; 39-46% in Scandinavi- an states. Who can be the defender of women right in the country where there is such dramatic gender inequality in political institutions? What can we see in Scandinavian states is society free of rape, forced mar- riages and sexual harassments. I remember one Finish delegate from my committee on FEMM totally amazed when hearing that sexual harassments are quite often in Geor- gia. I would love to live in such society- free of even thoughts about violence on gender bases. So FEMM committee delegates be- lieve that your resolution will make one step forward to the genderly equal world.
  • 9. By Erekle Chanchibadze When it comes to European border con- trol the numbers speak for themselves. With 42,672 km of external sea borders and 8,826 km of land borders, the Schengen free-movement area comprises 25 countries (including a number of non-EU states) ena- bling free internal travel for nearly half a billion people across the continent, with 300,000 crossings at the external borders in 2009 alone. If you are thinking about moving to Europe, at first find out what FRONTEX is. It is the European Union agency for ex- ternal border security. It is responsible for coordinating the activities of the nation- al border guards in ensuring the security of the EU's borders with non-member states. Frontex’s headquarters is in Warsaw, Poland. Its responsibility is es- sentially simple: to ensure that the EU’s ex- ternal borders remain permeable and effi- cient for bona fide travellers while being an effective barrier to cross-border crime. For sum-up speech makers, there is a speech about Frontex given by Federal Interior Minister Dr. Schäuble: ―The citizens expect Europe to provide effective protec- tion of its common external borders. There- fore it is the declared aim of our Presidency to further develop the operability of the Eu- ropean Border Management Agency Frontex in order to improve the protection of the external borders of the European Union and intensify border police cooperation‖.
  • 10. By Sandro Jupalakiani Their discussion came before a key US Sen- ate committee was to approve Thursday the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty that the two sides signed in April. It commits Russia and the US to reduce de- ployed nuclear warheads by about 30 percent. A senior US official, briefing reporters after the meeting of the defense chiefs, said Russia's low- er house of Parliament was awaiting Washing- ton's actions before pursuing further ratification of the treaty. Within the US, however, Republicans are putting up a fight over the treaty, and a full Senate vote is not expected until after the No- vember elections.
