https://www.eypuk.co.uk/ Liverpool Town Hall, LS2 3SW
Regionals in 2021
EYPUK runs a variety of regional forums every year, each consisting of one day of General Assembly. In light of the coronavirus pandemic, we have taken the decision to move our regional events for 2021 online. Moreover, in light of the new format and the cancellation of EYPUK’s first extended regional forum earlier this year, each digital regional will last 2 days.
Our 9 2021 Regionals:
South of England 13th-14th February
Wales 20th-21st February
South East 1 20th-21st February
South East 2 27th-28th February
Midlands 6th-7th March
Scotland 13th-14th March
Northern Ireland 20th-21st March
North of England 20th-21st March
Merseyside (North West) 27th-28th March
Each session takes place over a weekend, with Teambuilding and Committee Work (OCs only) taking place on the Saturday and General Assembly taking place on the Sunday. Applicants are expected to be present for the duration of the weekend, as well as for an additional CMOJ weekend taking place in early February. Exact dates are to be announced.

The Call
Each digital regional session is looking for: ● 2 Vice-Presidents ● 6-8 Chairpersons ● 2-3 Jury Members
Moreover, we are also looking for applications to be media team members. Rather than having one media team per session, there will be one larger media team, responsible for creating projects for all of the regional sessions. This team will be managed centrally by the EYPUK Communications Team.
More information, including the application questions and the google forms to apply, can be found under the headings below.
If you have any questions concerning the application process or events themselves, please do not hesitate to contact the EYPUK Regionals Team at [email protected].
Vice-Presidents
The Vice Presidents will support their President throughout the session. This will involve preparing and leading modules during the CMOJ weekend, helping the chairpersons to prepare for the session, supporting the chairs team during the session and leading the General Assembly alongside the President. Applicants with prior chairing experience, especially if digital, will be looked highly upon.

Chairpersons will not be expected to write a Topic Overview prior to the session, and in Committee Work, delegates will work with pre-written Introductory Clauses to form the Operative Clauses. At the session you will lead the committees through Teambuilding, Committee Work and the General Assembly. You will be supported by the session Vice-Presidents and President throughout.
