Why you want to be elected?
I want improve existing work structure and I assume I can make EYP work more coordinated and interactive between all the members of organization. In my opinion not only work brings people closer but common trips and other kind of fun actives as well. So in order to make our organization’s work more efficient I consider it needs to be active on both sides. I believe that I can express myself in this position as I am with organization for a bit over than a year, I can contribute to its development and also promise to keep our work balanced.

How will you contribute to the work of the European Youth Parliament – Ukraine?
I will try my best to create a friendly atmosphere. Also I have helped organizing some EYP events, so will have all the necessary points on any events clearly structured as I consider this can help us to focus better on crucial questions during meetings. As I’m interested in diverse directions of activities I will help out in various questions.

What are your plans for the term you are running for?
I have some interesting ideas concerning organizations’ Happy Hours and certain suggestions to upcoming year’s working plan:
• Maintain proper cooperation between all departments.
• Annually visiting regional representatives and having them over in Kyiv for 1-2 day improvement trainings.
• Spring trip to Artemivskyi Zavod Shampanskyh vyn for an excursion.
• Summer weekend somewhere in the South, just to share our opinions in more marine area.
• Attending together interesting art and music events.

My main focal point is to provide EYP-Ukraine with fun emotions and serious help.
