Valmiera 2019: 31st Regional Selection Conference of EYP Latvia

The older we get, the more we start to listen to advices people give us. How to properly cook food or what cleaning supplies to use - these are the questions we more and more start to ask our moms. But we cannot forget the best advices our moms give us on daily basis- the ones about friendships, love and other life happenings. This time EYP session participants were asked about the best advice their moms have given them, because how we all know - mom knows best. Remind them to yourself, tell them to others, it is the wisdom we can only get from our life givers.

Each and every EYP session is a chance to immerse yourself in numerous new friendships. First awkward conversations during coffee breaks, checks on Instagram and other more original ways how to find something in common with people you get to spend a few days with. Stumbling upon these similarities and shared interests can be so calming and exciting at the same time that you may forget that there are other sides to that person.

'Opposites as a Means to Balance' - the session theme of Valmiera 2019 inspired the media project by Alicja Matusiak .

Interviewing session participants, we presented a variety of opinions and highlighted natural differences. Lastly, we asked them to show themselves in a slightly different light - because we all need balance.

The main question of this episode is "What is the biggest perk of the EU?"

The second day of Valmiera 2019 was spent in the warm atmosphere accompanying discussions on resolutions. While chairs were having a resotyping in the evening, delegates had a chance to take part in Experts Talks where they could learn about skills such as Stress Management or Public Speaking.
