Shakespeare:- Merel B

lok

Are you a fashionable person? Maybe addicted to chocolate? Is your swagger on? Fashionable, addicted and swagger are all words invented by William Shake-speare. Probably the world’s most famous writer did not only invent 2000 new English words but also wrote more than 30 plays filled with love, death and emotion. In contrast to how well-known his stories are, little is known about his personal life. Who was the man behind the epic love-stories and tragedies?

Some scholars have suggested Shakespeare was a whole group of writers instead of one person. 38 plays, 154 sonnets, and several poems have been attributed to Shakespeare, so it is not hard to suspect collaboration. The main theory is that several writers decided to cooperate in order to achieve more success.

Baconions

A small group of people believe in a theory from the 19th century. Another au-thor from Shakespeare’s period, Francis Bacon, is proposed to have written un-der the alias of “Shakespeare”. Sir Francis Bacon was a philosopher and essayist from England’s higher-upper class who is said to have been ashamed of being a “lowly playwriter”.

The 17th Earl of Oxford

The most mentioned person said to be Shakespeare was a lover of Elizabeth I of England, Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford. Being a very talented poet and writer but also reckless and hot-headed, Edward de Vere was not able to have any governmental responsibility. Like Francis Bacon, de Vere couldn’t publish plays under his own name and is therefore said to have created William Shakespeare. This theory also explains the great adoration the Queen had for Shakespeare.

Just Shakespeare

It remains possible that Shakespeare was actually just William Shakespeare. A son of middle-class parents, beginning his career as an actor and climbing up the career ladder by becoming a very famous writer, William Shakespeare is the perfect example of becoming royal. So who do you think Shakespeare was?

BECOME

KING

One of the bases of the EYP experience is cultur-al exchange and the best way to put it into practice is by communicating with people you have probably never met before. Some-times you need to make an effort to speak up and ac-tually enter a conversation, but this effort is worth it. It is a great opportunity to engage in a fruitful discus-sion and build friendships.

As soon as you arrive to the session you ought to leave all your fears behind be-cause most of them usually stem from the comfort zone of your daily life. Thankful-ly, EYP gives everyone a chance to expand this zone, sometimes even get rid of it. All you need is to make the first, and unfortunately the hardest, step and do what you always wanted to do but never had the courage.

Be fearless!

socialise!

SESSION

- Nastia Yeremenko

Creative thinking is an ap-proach applicable to every single aspect of the event: discussions during Commit-tee Work, performances at Euroconcert or general communication with oth-ers. To be more specif-ic – do at least one thing that you have never done before. You can start with small shenanigans while taking a break, but do not hesitate to use fresh inno-vative ideas during the ac-ademic part of the session.

In other words, enjoy every single joyful moment that the session has to offer. Taste the national cuisine of the country. Enter cultur-al dialogue with delegates from the member states; enjoy small talk during cof-fee breaks. Be active within your committee. Read the issues produced by the me-dia team, party – party hard.

Be true and fair, especial-ly when it comes to you. It does not mean that you have to be overly self-cen-tred and remain stubborn no matter what happens; it is rather about going deep-er to your own self and towards growing and de-velopment by being open: open to changes, open to experience, open to life.

Experiment!

take part!

BE a king!

Remembering that we’re close to the Russian border, we have to keep an eye out for bears. This is no laugh-ing matter. Here are some other uses: killing mosquitoes, scratching your back, getting rid of unwanted trees in your shoes, putting an end to the sun (or clouds), heating food, mug-ging frogs for their slime, undressing

HEALTH PACK

Use food for an energy boost and the dry water for thirst relief.

ANTI-SLEEP PACK

Ensures that the individual is cured of the disease called sleep in order to participate in the session as much as they can. Not counting the anti-sleep plaster, here you can see motivational texts to prevent the individual from sleeping.

• You look ugly in your sleep. Putting a rotten octopus besides the sleeping version of you, it looks like a tasty pie.

• Sleep is the nastiest time thief of all time, do not support thievery.

• When you sleep, you can be more easily deported to Russia.

• It is common knowledge that sleeping in EYP is considered disrespect to the venue.

• If you say that you are tired, you could as well be retired.

and scaring locals.

SCISSORS

Here are some sharp scissors to help you slice your way to success by cutting out all of the epic material provided in the survival kit. Don’t forget to take care while cutting; we don’t want a repeat of the gadget show incident.

TOILET PAPER

Here is the most ground-breaking discovery since the creation of fire. The piece of toilet paper included in the kit is meant for emergency situations and comes with useful step by step instruc-tions.

EPIC PICK-UP LINES

In your survival kit you have a small list of some great pick up lines which can be used to break the ice with the boy or girl you’ve got your eye on. Although pick up lines may seem stu-pid at first sight, knowing that both you and the person you are hitting on realise how cliché the pick-up lines are, they can actually work and prove your interest in a less awkward way.

Remember, use with caution!

LINE REDUCING PACK

Use these phrases or the scary spider – can be used to astonish them and easily pass through – to cut in the line you desire.

- If I fill my pants, can I get in front of you?

- “I think I saw a mouse.” Move in front when saying this.

- I am from the staff, passing through.

- *Speak loudly in French and move to the front of the line*

SOPHISTICATED VOCABULARY

When making small talk with other session participants you may notice that some people only talk with really complicated words that mean nothing. Why do they use them? Usually to ei-ther sound really cool and smart or they are just really-really intelligent. So here is your own list of useless words and phrases that really don’t mean too much but sound extremely sophisticated.

Royalty is the essence of fashion. Throughout history the tastes and whims of royalties have decided the image of what is classy, dar-ing or dowdy. That is, considering the immense wealth and power that royal families claimed during the days of old and the attraction a princess’ wedding dress still possess to the public. Therefore it comes as no surprise that the museum curator and fashion histo-rian James Laver states social hierarchy being one of the driving forces behind fashion development. So the history of fashion also becomes a history of royalty from the birth of the feudal system to the latest royal marriage – Princess Madeleine of Sweden.

It was during the Middle Ages that maybe the most stereotypical images of royal fashion were forever imprinted into western cul-ture. Who has not seen pictures of a princess greeting her love from a castle balcony while wearing the conformed hennin head-dress?

The most curious outbursts of the creativity of courtly wear is may-be the supershort tunic that became popular in the 1450s. Not only were said tunics short, but sometimes short enough to be banned by law as they exposed the more royal parts to the public eye.

The focus on men’s legs that started in the late middle-ages contin-ued into the renaissance. During this time the English court gained prominence on the fashion arena as well as the political one. Henry VII and Elisabeth I are prominent fashionistas; the first of the two is said to have spent over three million dollars on clothing annually. Elisabeth could not have been far behind though as her wardrobe consisted of over 3000 gowns and headdresses.

When it comes to flamboyance, however, no one beats the French. In the court of Versailles the Bourbon monarchs of France took extravagance to a new level. This is the baroque and rococo of the sixteen- and seventeen-hundreds. During the baroque period, Ludvig XIV is the prominent icon and the man to imitate. With the French Revolution in 1789, however, the rules of the game changed: suddenly dressing as an aristocrat was outright danger-ous.

The royals of today, do they shape fashion? The shrill cries of my uncle’s wife when she sees the wedding dress of Princess Made-leine of Sweden is all the answer I need.

more The European Union’s purpose by itself is unification of different nations, their languages, cultures and first of all – economies. Thus making everyone feel equally powerful and involved. That is why the theme of the LNC’13 is ‘’Creating base for diverse space’’ which is also one of the objectives always taken into account when draft-ing strategies for future actions in the EU.

Segregation between nations, genders and even generations within every Member State and the whole EU has been recognised long ago. There are already hundreds of organisations working on elimi-nating youth unemployment or campaigns made to prevent female discrimination in the labour market but they’re still not making a visible difference; the same applies to racial and LGBTI discrimi-nation. This is why LIBE I and II, CULT II and EMPL are trying their best to find ways of alleviating these problems in society as quickly and operatively as possible. The matter of fact is that due to dif-ferences in historical and cultural backgrounds, the same solutions and aims can not be applied to all Member States.

In addition to integrating with the EU, countries have to tackle their own inner discrimination between natives and immigrants, their languages and lifestyles. People are migrating not only from one Member State to another, but, because of low quality of life or education, unemployment or no career options, they also migrate from rural areas to cities. All of that makes the reasons of moving away from countryside even more troubling. This affects CULT I - the committee assigned to provide solutions for school closures which are one of the results of this migration.

As well as needing to address several social issues, Member States are often struggling with protecting their sovereignty or trying to agree on common regulations for the different economies in the EU. Similarly to nations, every economy also has a distinct histor-ical and cultural background. Imagine how hard it is to maintain the same monetary policy in different economies such as those of Germany and Greece.

The world would be more peaceful when all nations could be united in di-versity. And as the Patron of the ses-sion Ieva Freidenfelde said – ‘’Everyone should feel comfortable everywhere, despite the differences all over the world!’’

Wim’s duties as a presidentMostly I’m trying to support the chairs. The chairpersons are constantly with their committees and I’m in a sense their leader, so I have to help them with anything that they need. It’s mostly about helping a committee to get through the session. Apart from that I work together with the head-organisers and organisers to lead the major events. Generally I’m also the one who tries to keep the officials’ teams communicating with each other.

What Keeps Wim going in EYP.It changes over time. For me it recently became a lot about the fact that I can help other people to learn. It’s very interesting to be in a position where you have certain experiences to share with others, and try and help them to become more effective at what they’re doing. I think that one of the main things throughout EYP is to be challenged and those challenges could be, for example, a delegate going up to the podium to deliver a speech or an organiser arranging all of the funding & venues. These challenges teach many different things. I think that is really what drives me to continue.

EYP to WimEYP to me is a place where different organisations come together. On the one hand, it contains deep and interesting discussions, on the other hand, a lot of socialising and getting to know lots of people. Added to this there is also a lot of personal development and learning about how people and groups work.

One of the first EYP experiences My second session I went to was in Rhen, France. I didn’t really understand EYP at that point. For me it was all about debating. I was really passionate and always made my points for or against something with a really strong stance. I remember that session because afterwards I changed a lot. In EYP I notice and really appreciate that people don’t take such radical stances, but actually try to find the compromise and put different viewpoints together to make each other better.

Thoughts on the session so farI think it’s been really good. Since the start everything has been run-ning really smoothly, the organisers have put a lot of effort to ensure that everything is on time. The people are getting into their topics a lot, really discovering what this EU policy is all about. It’s really good to see that.

Short advice to help one use the ses- sion to its fullest.I would suggest spending at least a few minutes a day think-

ing about why you’re here. Try to see what you still want to get from the rest few days, because before you realise it,

you’ll already be at the end and if you’re a bit aware of what is going on and what you want to take out of it

you will probably be able to take even more than expected.

There needs to be an initial idea for a session to take place. The 11th National Conference of EYP Latvia was provided one by the amazing Head-Organ-isers – Kate Katrīna Dreiblath-ena and Diāna Orlovska. Let us find out a bit more about them in this interview.

For how long have you been involved in EYP?Kate: I have been involved in EYP since summer 2010.Diāna: And I from summer 2011.

Just looking at the extreme amounts of workload you manage to do during only this session, one has to ask: is it worth it?K: Definitely!D: We will see when the ses-sion ends. (Giggles)

K: Just for reference I can say that I had tears in my eyes when teambuilding started.

Could you please explain the difference between a Head-Organiser and a regular one from your perspective?K: The Head-Organiser is obliged to know everything that is happening around. We have much more responsibili-ties and in case of trouble we are the ones to be held ac-countable.

The session is taking place in one of the beautiful parts of Latvia – Latgale. Why did you decide to do it here?D: Because I am the Head-Or-ganiser and this is the place where I come from. So I thought to myself at first: “Hey, this might be easier!” And I no-

ticed that the national confer-ence had never taken place in Latgale before. So why not this year?

Were there any other candi-datures you considered?K: At first my idea was to orga-nise the session in Liepāja, as I come from there.D: But in the end we settled on Rēzekne mainly because of the fact that it is in Latgale.

How long have you been working to make this session happen?K: We started writing the proj-ect in June 2012.D: So it has been a year.

Everybody around you can notice the immeasurable pas-sion you have for LNC`13. What are your expectations

Page 19: Royalte second

19

from the session?K: Grand! Also that everybody is happy and enjoying them-selves.D: I agree; for me, the best part would be if the confer-ence were really enjoyable for everyone.K: If a single person could say that the session has been the highlight of their summer, it would be amazing.

You are both students right now, what are you studying and why so?K: (laughs a bit) Right now I am a typical EYPer. I study pol-itics and economics in Glasgow. Before that I studied civil en-gineering – back then I was a minority in EYP.D: I studied sociology at the University of Latvia for a year, but now I transferred to polit-

ical science, so I will start my first year there.

You ought to have other pas-sions outside EYP as well. What do you like doing in your spare time?K: When I am at university, my spare time goes into other vol-untary work in different kinds of extra-curriculum activities. Also, some of my time goes into useless TV shows such as The Valleys and Jersey Shore, just to put my mind away from everything.D: The part of my time I had off LNC`13 I mostly went to Tellus. I have not yet managed to find any other hobby in Riga, since I have been living there only for a year.

Diana, it is your home region of Latvia, how do you feel about bringing EYP to such an important place to yourself?D: It is amazing; to be honest, it is still a bit unbelievable. Af-ter the session we will probably realise the importance of it.

Kate, why do you have such an exceptional affection to-wards the pink colour?K: (giggles for a long time) Pink is just really, really cute, but I am slightly starting to drift to-wards purple. Right now both of these colours are close to my heart.

Lastly, what YouTube video best describes your feelings during the session?Kate and Diāna: Sunshine, lol-lipops and rainbows.

The responsibilities are to take care of sort-ing one-day-old chicks by gender by repeat-edly squeezing them until they give up and forfeit by admitting whether they are male or female.

Please send your applications now, as there are 3 eggs about to hatch tomorrow.

Since we know just how extremely creative our fellow EYPers are, we decided to give them a chance to let that creativity out. We came up with a short one-sentence begin-ning for stories and asked our victims – I mean interviewees – to finish the stories for us, sometimes including a few words of our choosing.

Dita, Linda & PaulaA prince walks into a bar…

During his stay there he becomes amnesiac. After a few days, when he regains his mem-ory, he realises he is in a different country. So, the prince from UK wakes up in Ban-gladesh. He starts to recognise the girl who tried to order a chicken burrito in the bar but could not because the bar did not offer chicken burritos. He remembered the logical decision to go to the gas station to buy the lovely girl a chicken burrito. But the peo-ple saw him there and they were so over-whelmed that the prince had to run away. He reached the airport and took the first flight which was destined to Bangladesh.

The prince also remembers that he was drugged before (that’s why the memory loss) – probably by the same girl who craved for the burrito. She wanted to seduce him.In the end the prince buys Bangladesh and becomes the ruler there because he likes the elephant pants.

Kate & DitaA prince walks into a bar…

A prince walks into a bar and he sees a sexy beast which runs to the nearby club “Crown and Leash”. Prince follows the beast and in

the club he sees his wife – the princess – performing striptease. To save his marriage, he joins the striptease. Everybody likes his crown, so he leaves it on during the show. The prince likes the club so much that he decides to buy it. So, finally he buys it and both he and the princess make the club a really classy place... with royalties stripping occasionally.

Wim & Kārlis F.You are on an airplane and it is going down quickly…

Include: giraffe, volleyball, disco, can-non

Kārlis – who is currently crashing with the plane – and Wim by his side start to fire the cannons in order to kill giraffes. They do this because they are disco fighters out on a mission to destroy the giraffes that keep on winning all of the volleyball games they play against humans.

Three lovely, yet anonymous delegatesYou are on an airplane and it is going down quickly…

Include: umbrella, curtain, fish, season, caramel

You see the pilot getting an umbrella to save himself. Luckily for him, the season is win-ter, so if he lands in the sea, he will survive because the fish will not eat him. To survive, he makes a caramel ice cream out of fish. The only thing he salvaged from the plane was the curtain that he uses as a tent. He is known to yell “Oi, governor!”

Summer. The time of warmth, fun and happiness. We wait for it, plan it, live for it; and when it comes, we fully enjoy ourselves. And even in light of all the possibilities that sum-mertime has to offer us, we have chosen to come to Latvia for the 11th National Confer-ence of the European Youth Parliament. As a result, we find ourselves surrounded by young and active people reunited once again to speak up for Europe. But when it comes to indi-viduals, the reasons behind being here now are numerous and, most importantly, unique.

As a matter of fact, the motives which guided us all here depict the most distinctive features of our national identities. This phenomenon becomes apparent when you realise the uniqueness of EYP itself. “United in diversity”, we say and find ourselves at the core of a cultural salad bowl.

All this would not be possible without the people who contributed to the cultural diversity of LNC’13: international guests. Delegates, organisers, chairpersons, journalists, editors and others. So what brought this diversity to the Latvian National Conference? See for yourself in the boxes on these two pages.
