The Annual Meeting of YEE was officially opened today. The day started with some name games to help participants to get to know each other. The first session was led by Anja Wilken (Chairperson) and Zaruhi Stepanyan (External Relations Officer). They presented the agenda for the Annual Meeting which was afterwards approved by the General Assembly.

The next session was mainly focused on presenting the Annual Report of YEE with the description of the activities. This was followed by the Secretariat report, presenting the work of the Secretariat of YEE through a creative theatre play. After the lunch break, it was time for the presentation of Board reports on what they have been working through the year. The day continued with the clearing of the Board, and opening the call for the nominations for new Board members.

So, it was time for a coffee break and some games to get the participants energized for the next session. Natalia Luchko gave some important information on project planning and funding, and then the participants had the opportunity to present the projects that they want to include in the Working Plan 2015 of YEE. At the same time everyone had the chance to get to know the different projects and to find partners. It was a very productive session with a lot of interaction and interesting discussions.

In the evening the NGO market was on the agenda where everyone presented their organisation in a creative way!
