We’re all now in the magnificent city of Rustavi, regional Center

of the Kvemo Kartli, region, one of the most prosperous and splendid

regions of Georgia, but it is not only beauty that draws the tourists to

the city, it’s also it’s inestimable value in historical point of view.

The foundation of Rustavi is dated from time immemorial. Leonti Mrov-

eli, a Georgian historian, connects this process with the name of the

glorious ancestor of Georgian people. As Leonti writes in his works "The description of

the Kingdom of Georgia" Rustavi was called Bostan-Kalaki. It was situated on the river

Mtkvari and founded by the wife of Kartlos.

The historian Leonti Mroveli, who described the lives of the first Georgian kings, men-

tions the town Rustavi among those castles, which protested the troops of Alexander

the Great. Although this theory was later refuted by the historians.

Rustavi is an industrial city. Relevantly, its urban infrastructure and environment sup-

ports development of the Plant. Rustavi Metallurgical Plant was founded in 1944. Con-

siderable investments, implementation of modern technologies and modernization of in-

frastructure played the huge role in rehabilitation of the plant.

The core of the city's industrial activity is the Rustavi Metallurgical Plant, constructed

in 1941- 1950 to process iron ore from nearby Azerbaijan. It is, at the moment, one of

the most important plants in the whole state, it produces steel, colored metals, cement,

liquid glass, etc.

Imagine, you’re standing on history; here great Kings and Queens had walked and

rested. Let’s pay tribute to this land which has seen so much of the time when fate

turned its back on it and equally as much of prosperity and welfare. We were given

such a tremendous possibility to see into past of our ancestors through simply imagining

how they lived and walked in these very streets so let’s grasp this opportunity and enjoy

it to the fullest .

1. When did you first experience EYP and what were your first

expressions of it?

My first EYP experience was Ilia State University’s 2nd city

session and to be honest I felt incomplete in some way but after

that a lot changed and I enjoy every session

2. Tell us shortly how do you feel being a HO?

First of all I have a big responsibility and I want to justify

everyone’s hopes and second it’s really great because you are making

a session that will gather a lot of youth and they’ll remember you for

a long time(if it will be good session)

3. Which committee’s topic is the most interesting for you?

AFET 1’s, about crisis in Syria

4. Which musical instrument do you like the most?

None because I can’t play on anything

5. I’m sure you’ve been on many sessions and which is your favorite

position in EYP?

Mmm, I think my favorite position is delegate, because lot of peo-

ple are working for you and you are obliged only to think about the prob-

lems and solutions and that’s easy, I think

6. What do you think of the Officials Team? Will they cope with

their tasks well?

I think that official’s team is the best on this session because 80-

85 % of them are experienced EYP-ers and they’ll manage to cope with

their tasks at a high level

7. What is your biggest dream that you can share with people?

My biggest dream is to study in Northern Ireland university of

Belfast and I think I could share my knowledge gained there as a lecturer

in Georgia’s some university

8. And the last one, tell something to people waiting for the session,

you’re free to say anything...

Being a head organizer means forsaking yourself for the session. They

are chosen moths before the session, select the organizing team, and

prepare to serve our expectations. So greet the Head orgas of Rustavi

3rd Regional Session— Lasha Vashakidze and Salome Kandelaki.

Head-Orgas

1. When did you first experience EYP and what were your first expressions of it?

My first session was Zugdidi 1st regional session. I was without accommodation but, I was so motivated that no one could stop me attending that session. EYP became my second family from the first day, I liked the friendly environment and clever people around me.

2. Tell us shortly how do you feel being a HO?

Honestly, I love being an organizer, so it is not very diffi-cult for me to be a HO. I have excellent organizing team, with whom I will always work with great pleasure. However, it's very tir-ing and sometimes I am under the pressure

3. Which committee’s topic is the most interesting for you?

Personally for me, the most interesting topic is about "eastern partnership", because I have already worked on this topic, so I hope I will learn more interesting factors during the session.

4. Which musical instrument do you like the most? Drums (joking) :)

5. I’m sure you’ve been on many sessions and which is your fa-vorite position in EYP?

Yeah, I have attended lots of sessions and think that the position of journalist appeals to me mostly.

6. What do you think of the Officials Team? Will they cope with their tasks well? Sure, yeah :)

7. What is your biggest dream that you can share with people? I never share my dreams with people. Dream is not for public!

8. And the last one, tell something to people waiting for the session, you’re free to say anything...

Hope this session will give you something new, useful and help you achieve your goals in the future. I just advice you to be extro-verted and try to be fully involved in each activity of EYP. Do not miss the chance, follow the pulse!

Salome Kandelaki.

“Do not miss

the chance,

follow the

pulse!”

Interviewed by

Matte

Dvalishvili

Chairpersons

Take a deep breathe and get ready for the most amazing team. The

team of chairs. I asked all of the chairs to answer a few questions. Let's start:

The first person I'm going to introduce is Data Makashvili. Is he your favorite chair? Have you dreamed to be in his committee? I'm sure you did. How did he get involved in EYP? It happened by the accident. he followed the random link on the web (thank you, random link) Delegates listen to him and leave your complexes at home. And for the newcomers, as Data told me, EYP gives you a great opportunity to meet hot Journos. Attention, attention! When I asked Data what were his expectations for the session, he answered that Rustavi regional session will be his retirement session. ( Is Data going to leave EYP? ) Sorry for such a bad news, But here we go with the next chair, Erekle Chanchibadze. From the firs moment I started writing the article, I knew what to write about him. I was ex-tremely afraid of him. Why? ask Erekle. How did he get involved in EYP? It happened when he was 15, he was the younger editor in his-tory of EYP Georgia. Being Young and innocent he didn’t know anything about life. Then Zulu and Big Fat Pony taught him what a real life was like. (that's interesting) It turned out to be addictive... And now, after 3 years Erekle is a chair for the second time. Let’s continue our presentation with Veriko Devidze. I have never worked with her be-fore, but people who know her well told me that she is one of the sweetest persons in EYP. She was the first to answer on my questions (thank you) She thinks that Chair is the person who leads every delegate into the right direction in order to show them EYP in the best perspec-tive. This is pretty challenging and a huge responsibility. Veriko encourages each of you to en-joy, enjoy and once again enjoy every second of the session. So enjoy it!

Every time I hear his name, I think about fun, farewell party and so on. In my opinion he’s one of the most creative, active and funny persons in EYP. Guess who? Giorgi Gvenetadze Our just married chair told me “ I believe this session will differ from other sessions, will be much academic-oriented, although we will manage to have fun as well. Also, the journo team is completed with brand new Officials (for example: me) so lets see what they can give us” And here is a little advice for newcomers: “EYP is a good way To get the highest non-formal education in Georgia, to express yourselves, get known with culture of team work and debates, experience a public speech.”

As everyone here, Sophie Samkharadze is addicted to EYP. She started with public school session in 2010 and now she just can’t stop. And now she is chairing the committee on human right ( best committee ever ) I hope I’ll get know to her very soon. She thinks that a good chair should keep a committee very active and get all the delegates involved into discus-sion. She expects the session to be very energetic, mentally challenging for delegates and of course FUN. (hope her expectations will come true)

session to be very energetic, mentally challenging for delegates and of course FUN. (hope her ex-pectations will come true). He is the most experienced EYP-er I have ever meat, Akaki Kukhaleishvili. “As for my in-volvement, I can say that I’m one of the oldest members of EYP Georgia. Whose introduction to this organization started in 2008 from Two weeks EYP tour to Ukraine and Belarus, which was filled with unforgettable, productive and efficient EYP Sessions, meetings and trainings. This was the first time I experienced EYP spirit and was inspired to contribute to the development of EYP Georgia.” Akaki thinks that EYP is more than attending a session; it is a style of life which makes you feel that you are an active youth, who shares the principles of democracy, volunteering and active citizenship. I would like to continue the article with introducing Mako Tirkia. For her EYP is like a big family. “If you want to be a member of this nice and big family, then come and join our commu-nity.” I asked her about most embarrassing thing that happened to her in EYP. here is her story: “At one of the EYP sessions , I had to sing at the Euro-concert and I failed. I still remember the embarrassment I felt that moment. I was on stage with my EYP friends trying to entertain audi-ence. It still worked out though, because EYP is a lot about fun” (same thing happened to me during school session, so I know how she felt) The president of EYP Georgia, and this session. She has been my chair, has interviewed me thousand times. And every time I have to work with her, I enjoy the process. and of course, I’m talking about Mariam Chubabria. She has been EYP-er since 2009. Here is a little advice for new-comers from Mariam (listen to her, that would be useful) “This year is promising to be supper ac-tive in EYP Georgia. I am very much motivated to make the sessions academically attractive.”

Here he comes, Erekle Antadze. Although He has only been participating in EYP for less than one year, his outstanding performance granted him a place in our chairs team. There is one thing that you should know about him— is dream is to study at Harvard, and He works really hard to achieve his goals. Newcomer delegates of LIBE, you are very lucky to have him as a chairperson, because he knows how to lead you and with his guidance, your committee is going to have fun along with extremely beneficial committee work.

And last but not the least, Nanuka gurgenidze. I think she’s probably fastest growing EYP-er I have ever seen. Do you know why? Despite the fact that she is rally smart and talented, she is in love with EYP. I asked her about the most embarrassing thing that had happened to her, and I liked her story a lot. “well it happened to me in Romania. during GA while i was asking a question i accidentally said Hogwarts instead of Harvard. whole board and delegates where laughing 3 times straight. so I got nicknamed Hermione and my committee got to be Gryffindor”

Imagine the most active,

vigorous and creative per-

son you’ve ever met, then

add tremendous philan-

thropy and deftness to the

character and you’ll find

yourself thinking about our

great editor Irakli

Grdzelishvili!

With such enthusiasm he

accomplishes every goal

set, that his aim of life,

which is to live his life to

the fullest and “not feel

jealous of the children

playing in the yard when

he’s old”, is simply bound to

be attained.

“In EYP Veritas”- says the

experienced EYP-er for

whom these 2 years of par-

ticipation in EYP have

played a life-changing role.

Oh, and by the way, if you

ever happen to be trans-

ported to the parallel uni-

verse of the Naruto world,

you’d most likely find him

mastering wind techniques.

have the right to trans-

plant his organs to the peo-

ple who need them!

As well as that, he reveres

logical reasoning and, if

given a chance, would kill

Rahm, Japanese Shinigami

in the Anime “Death Note”

for slaying L- the greatest

Mind of the World ever

imagined, as he believes.

(small notice) Girls: Atten-

Rezo Chanishvili is the

most generous, self-

denying and benevolent

person I know. Judge your-

self: he’s looking forward

to getting to the age of 18,

so as to… you’d think maybe

to drive a car without any

adult around? You’d be ab-

solutely wrong! He wants to

tion! When asked what his

aim in life is, he answered

that his dream is to be a

perfect father, truly a

rare specimen, isn’t he?!

him. (His favourite book is

the best book of all times

Master and Margarita by

M. Bulgakov, by the way).

“I have affected EYP” he

answered when asked how

EYP has affected his life,

which is not completely

humorous or untrue, as a

matter of fact, as he has

already participated in 14

sessions!

Oh, and by the way, as he

says, he gets what he

wants so mind not to get

into his way!

The most experienced

member of our Press Team

is the highly talented and

creative Vass Khurtsilava.

Even though he describes

himself as stubborn and

reserved, he manages to be

agreeable to absolutely

everyone.

He is also very clever and

educated, which you can

tell by merely speaking to

Daily prophet

“ To live full, happy life, try to use all chances life will give, find love, travel the

world, have a personal gallery” says our gorgeous journo Anano Mikadze.

She strongly enhances the progress of the world ( despite our suspicions about

her anarchical tendencies, because she’d like to live in the world of Fight Club,)

one means of which is joining EYP. Participants of EYP sessions are the smartest

and the most active people, she explains, here people find new friends and, above

all, gain invaluable experience.

For Matte Dvalishvili this is the third session in EYP! He is apparently very talented

just because he had achieved this, let alone any other proof. He is also very jocular, he

tends to make people laugh everywhere all the time.

Just like Rezo”s, L (from the “Death Note) is Mate’s favourite character because he

finds him overwhelmingly interesting.

He also happens to be a maximalist and an optimist, as he dexribes himself.

His motto for the session is “You can’t hide… Big Brother is watching you!” so be care-

ful! Nothing can slip his eyes.

He also takes to poetry and

even though he hasn’t dis-

closed it to us yet, I have

my suspicions that he

might be writing poems

himself! (If any of you

might get hold of this in-

formation, inform us right

away!)

Oh, and the last but not

the least, he secretly plans

to open MYP (Megrelian

Youth Parlaiment) but shh!

This is a secret operation,

nobody should find out!

Our absent-minded Beka

Korshia is ambivalent about

the amount of sessions he

has attended however he is

perfectly sure that it’s

more than 10 which makes

him the most experienced

out of the journalists.

He is studying ….. and is

deeply interested in learn-

ing Arabic language some

time soon.

It is really difficult to de-

scribe myself but I ( Tamri

Matiashvili) can assure you

that for being your journo

my skills and talent are, to

say the least, sufficient. I

can also say that on this

particular session I will

embody an FBI spy… none

of your secrets shall be

concealed from me, not

even your deepest

thoughts, regard me as

omnipresent on the ses-

sion because I will be

such. Here, we are The

Journalists and you - our

preyJ)). If I could

choose to live in a differ-

ent reality, I’d go to

George Orwell’s 1984, in

order to prove that human

nature, logical reasoning

and individuality can never

be rooted out. In this

world, fortunately, there

does not seem much men-

ace of that kind, and the

greatest example is EYP

itself.

By Tamri Ma-

tiashvili
