Dear ladies and gentlemen,

The International Forum of the European Youth Parliament-Ukraine “Agora on Security Kyiv” (a.k.a. ASK 2014), will be held between 1st and 9th November 2014 in Kyiv and will focus on international and European security under the umbrella topic: Re:think security policy and hack old paradigms.

The International Youth NGO - the European Youth Parliament-Ukraine is delighted to launch an open call for 10 Moderators, 1 Trainer and 1 or 2 Media Coordinators, who will help Martin Hoffmann, the ASK 2014 President, and the organising team to make this event unforgettable for everyone involved!

The event is organised in cooperation with the Berlin-based Schwarzkopf Foundation, the international umbrella organisation of the European Youth Parliament (EYP). ASK 2014 is financially supported by the Council of Europe’s European Youth Foundation. The organising team is currently waiting for the grant re-sults from the German Federal Foreign Office.

The Agora on Security Kyiv 2014 will provide an open forum that will allow the participants to analyse po-litical patterns that govern international security, understand their flaws and advantages and develop new strategies for collaboration in international security. ASK aims to leave an impact on its participants and the wider world. Breaking old patterns, its final results will have a more strategic approach, aiming to envision security from various perspectives.

The team of ASK moderators will work in a flat hierarchy surrounding, based on strength-supporting mechanisms. Each member of the team will be joining in fully, and not only participate, but also to contribute what they are best in.

The moderators are asked to come open-minded and supportive for both the event and all other involved team members. You, as an ASK moderator, will participate intensively in the preparation process, the pre-event meetings and the event itself. What is more important, all ASK moderators will have to gather expertise in the topic they will be dealing with.

The ASK trainer will be involved in all steps of the content preparation of the Moderators Academic Training (MAT), which will take place in Berlin on September 19-21. Moreover, the Trainer will be assisting the Pres-ident in enhancement of the educational experience for all the participants during the event in November.
