From 29 October to 1 November, Toulcuv Dvur and the YEE office were happy to host this year's Physical Board Meeting with the new board. Four months after the new Executive Board was selected at the Annual Meeting, they all came together in the ecological center in Prague, so that they discuss how they have adapted to their respective positions in the past months. Also, another important reason for the physical board meeting was to plan the upcoming projects and activities in the organisation.

On Thursday, the first day of the meeting, after the opening, board and office discussed about the shared vision each of them has when it comes to YEE. This was a good opportunity for combining ideas about what the organisation has to focus on in the upcoming years. The day ended with a fun, yet productive, teambuilding.

The second day was about the Short Term Strategies and the Work Plan. By using the concept of Open Space, the participants all divided their tasks when it comes to working out on the respective policies and strategies. The Treasurer and the Member Organisations officer had their sessions this day, and YEE also welcomed Pavlina, a representative from its Czech member Hnuti Brontosaurus.

Saturday started with a wonderful hike that also served as a teambuilding activitiy, thanks to Natasha's group engagement about "our relation with nature". After the lunch, the rest of the day was filled with the sessions of the Chairperson, the Project Officer, the External Relations Officer and the Promo and Publications Officer. A nice dinner and a walk in the center of Prague was the perfect way to end the busy day.

On Sunday, Gossia held training on task-management that was helpful for getting to know each other and our separate working styles even more.

As a conclusion, we deem the first Physical Board Meeting with the newly-elected board a success, and we are sure that we will reap the benefits from it in the upcoming period of YEE.
