Program details

Opening ceremony top

The conference opens with an inaugural address. Participants to the conference then introduce themselves and the countries they represent. Finally the President of the First European Tibetan Youth Parliament and minute-takers are formally elected.

Workshoptop

Each participant can choose two out of five workshops and take part in them (1st and 2nd Round). Each workshop is limited to 30 participants. Assignment of interested parties will take place according to their preferences if possible. The workshops will focus on different topics concerning Tibetan politics and identity. However all discussions are linked to the role of the youth in respective topics. The ultimate goal of the workshop session is to draft a recommendation that substantiates the position of the European Tibetan Youth Parliament (ETYP).

After the workshop, participants can join the so-called "active corners" where ideas and thoughts can be exchanged.

Out of these proposals, ten questions will be selected and published on the website. There will be an online poll and everyone can vote for their favourite questions. The five most popular questions will then be posed to H.H. XIV Dalai Lama. The one-hour session with H.H. XIV Dalai Lama will be open for all European Tibetan Youth Parliamentarians.

Plenum - European Tibetan Youth Parliamenttop

The President of the ETYP will chair the sessions of the day. First the groups from the Friday-workshops present their results and recommendations, which are discussed and commented on in the plenum. Subsequently a voting on these recommendations will take place. Each participant has one vote to either accept or reject each of the recommendations.

Distribution of resolutiontop

A draft version of the resolution will be distributed for common acceptance. If the resolution is considered contentious, comments are discussed and amendments drafted by the European Tibetan Youth Parliament. These amendments are edited and finalized within the next hour (during the Program on Elections 2011).

These and other questions on the Kalon Tripa elections 2011 will be discussed during the Sunday morning session in the First European Tibetan Youth Parliament. We are proud to announce outstanding personalities such as Dr. Lobsang Sangay and Kasur Tenzin Tethong, who will share their views and ideas with us.
