19th - 23rd of August, 2008, the 6th National Selection Conference of the European Youth Parliament (EYP) in Latvia will be taking place in Ventspils with the slogan "The voices of Latvian youth over Europe. How loud can you be?". Bringing together more than 150 participants from close and far regions of Latvia, Estonia and Germany, the organisers of the session aim to create an international atmosphere in which the most capable Latvian delegates will be chosen to represent our country in the following two International Sessions of European Youth Parliament in Rennes, France and Stockholm, Sweden. The topics, discussed in Ventspils will be connected with the aims expressed by the European Comission for the year 2008/2009 - tolerance, intercultural dialogue, the reform treaty of the EU, Gender equality and most importantly - the elections of the European Parliament in 2009. During the conference, through the tools provided by non formal education, youngsters will be urged to take part in the discussion about European issues, thus raising their awarness about these problems. International guests from Estonia and Germany will help to create an international and an intercultural atomosphare, so that the delegates can experience direct European citizenship and practically use and practice their knowledge of english, get to know other European cultures not only through discussing such topics, but also through practical communication with people from around Europe, thus raising tolerance and experiencing intercultural communication. The event will take place in Ventspils and consists of: the following parts: Teambuilding,where under the supervision of two experienced EYP-ers - chairpersons, different activities take place in order to bond the committee. Committee Work is when the chosen topics are discussed and debated on. As a result of Committee Work, a resolution is made that voices youths' opinion in these matters that is defended and voted on in the General Assembley. It is a simulation of the European Parliament, that helps youth become interested in and understand Europen issues, allows them experience European Citizenship and connects them with the rest of Europe through making friends and aquaintances. The Organisers of the session are Latvian Youth Organisation "Tellus" that are the official representatives of EYP in Latvia and are responsible of selecting the participants representing Latvia to the International Sessions, gathering more than 250 youngsters from all over Europe. The main aim for the session is to spread the information about the event and to offer the possibility of participating to all regions of Latvia, thus making it available disregarding the georgraphical, social or economical obstacles. We have chosen to do it through establishing a close link with the teachers of the schools, that will select the interested students to take part in the National Conference.
