YEBS

The YEBS organising committee took the effort to create a

symposium brief to ease the burden of the delegates and

teacher chaperons. This symposium brief will act as a guide

and reference for all delegates throughout the 7-‐day

symposium. We hope this symposium brief will assist the

delegates and teacher chaperons in preparing for the

symposium (before and during).

Thank you!
