Last year in September/ October I was at the regional session of the EYP Krapina (European Youth Parliament) and it was one of greatest experiences of my school year so far. Third-year students from my school were invited to join the assembly of European Youth Parliament, all together 8 pupils could join. Nobody from my class wanted to go but me, but I didn't mind because I have no trouble meeting new people and making new friends.
The event lasted for 3 days and it was all together really fun.
When I got there, at least 40 strangers waited for the session to start. They were from Serbia and Croatia (Rijeka, Sisak, Varaždin, Krapina, Pregrada, Zabok etc.) and most of them knew each other from previous sessions. We (delegates) were sorted into committees and were led by our chairperson. Every committee was dealing with one problem of the EU just like real European Parliament and mine (DROI [dvah] - human rights) was supposed to find solutions for problems with the Roma people living in the EU.
The work was hard and we all felt like we were going in circle, always facing problems and not finding solutions…
In the end, out committee was the only one who’s resolutions didn’t pass on the General Assembly, but it’s okay because our topic was tricky and we did the best we could.
It only matters that we found friends and that we partied. A lot. The people were great, I felt accepted by everyone and it’s an experience I would want to repeat.
