EDITORIALIn May 1945, as the Soviet Union began to tighten its grip on post-war Eastern Europe, Winston Churchill secretly ordered his Chiefs of Staff to draft a plan outlining a future war with Russia. Their product became known, quite ap-propriately, as Operation Unthinkable. It was a daring plan for a surprise offensive, in which British, American, and Allied forces would drive deep into the heart of Russia. It could quite possibly have spared the world 50 years of communism. However, in the end, the plan was deemed ‘hazardous’ and quietly forgotten.

The lesson we want you to take from this quaint piece of history is that nothing great was ever accomplished by meekness. Be bold. Be Daring. Intelligence and reason are excellent qualities, but that alone will not achieve your dreams. Only together with a fair dose of courage, stub-bornness, and perhaps even a little bit of madness, can you accomplish the impossible. In 1945, caution won out over daring, but we are not destined to make the same mistake. With articles like The Tyrants, we hope that by reading WARSAW, you have been inspired to take a hold of your future. In our opinion ‘crazy’ is not necessarily a bad thing. Go for the gold, push the envelope, and carry out your very own Operation Unthinkable.

On Thursday afternoon, the Committee on Civil Liberties found themselves on a sinking hot air balloon flying over the At-lantic on their way to Paris from New York, representing the people they admired the most. Among them one could find greats such as Dr. House, Pope John Paul II, and Princess Diana. The problem they faced: “who do we kill in order to save everyone else?”

Barney Stinson was the first person to be thrown into the ocean, in a futile attempt to save the balloon, but the committee soon found out that their ordeal had just begun. Before they arrived safely in Paris all pas-sengers but Napoleon and the pope had been eliminated.

“We found it impossible to kick out the Pope after the first few rounds, because the people he would compete with were already dead, and Napoleon is just Napo-leon,” the committee said on their choices. Although controversial, the agreement

they reached helped them develop as a group, to what they today called, “about 80% cohesion.”

The committee is chaired by Alex Nara-yanin (FR), who is well liked by the com-mittee for his chairing style, and the fact that he actually speaks English. The fee-lings are mutual, as Alex describes the committee as being very smart, and cha-racterized by their professionalism. As the majority of the committee is new to the European Youth Parliament, I found it ra-ther surprising to hear that he thinks that the committee has an aura of experience surrounding it.

To conclude, even though the commit-tee is composed of a group of talented and intelligent individuals, with remarka-ble ideas like creating a European identity by force, they do not work in an ‘air bal-loon’ way. They would never throw people overboard in order to save themselves, and their opinions, in a group discussion.

ON THE MOVEImperialism and imposing Western standards | By Tobias Satlow (AT)

With so much news from Libya, it is hard to remain interested, but the reports continue to flow in. In Tunisia and Egypt the revoluti-ons are said to have succeeded. However, one cannot be certain of future stability. In the lights of more pressing events in other countries around the world, the public fo-cus has shifted for now. Nothing new on the Eastern Front as it seems. Even so, the question remains: How will the Arab Spring continue from now on?

While the media is only speaking of the afo-rementioned big players in the Arab Spring, we must not forget that there are actually eighteen countries currently undergoing si-milar civil unrests. The next big problematic area seems to be Syria. After several weeks of apparently peaceful protests, the regime has taken measures to oppress its people, going far beyond anything Gadhafi has thrown against his opposition. With news of battleships attacking the coastal town Lata-kia, Western governments patiently devote their time to democratically deciding upon the necessity of trade embargoes. Clearly, every country involved wants to achieve si-milar success as that of Tunisia and Egypt, regardless of the cost in human lives.

However, I want to ask all of you directly:

Have you ever thought about the fact that those nations are trying to ‘westernise them-selves’? Even though this is my personal perception of the matter, I do believe that everyone who looks closely into the mat-ter will take note of several facts suppor-ting my argument. The people are trying to overthrow their existing, slightly repressive governments in order to establish a neo-liberal democracy. They apparently do not want to exist as developing or newly indus-trialized countries. The international com-munity supports this transformation. Ho-wever, when I view this situation critically it seems to be a form of cultural imperialism.

Obviously, western countries themselves have a rich history of revolutions and civil unrests. Simply think of the success story of Poland when unseating communist rule; a peaceful revolution like no other. To me, this concept could be used very well in Arab countries. The problem is that Arab coun-tries have a completely different history, thus we cannot help them with the conventional European approach. It is up to the Commit-tee on Foreign Affairs to develop strategies that fit the situation as opposed to adopting superficial strategies.

TThe ingredients for a good committee do not necessarily correspond to one’s expectations. The mere act of throwing a few students, pre-viously unaware of each others’ existence, into a small room and expecting them to play full contact games such as ‘rolling’ a coin from sto-mach to stomach is not a sure-fire way to suc-cess or the means to a great resolution. Playing games like these made it clear that the Com-mittee on Budgets (BUDG) had a long way to go.

Achieving a true team through creating an understanding of the con-cepts of teambuilding. | By Sabine Hain (AT)

A Compromising Position

BUDGETARYAFFAIRS

Initial inhibitions prevented some delegates from letting down their guard, as is to be expected. Howe-ver, it seemed that a few delegates were reluctant to use the teambuil-ding games to their full potential. Sceptical expressions took the place of grins when the chairpersons in-quired about what they thought was the intended purpose of those activi-ties. Overcoming the prejudice that teambuilding was not, in fact, just for fun but an actual constructive part of the European Youth Parliament (EYP) took time and determination on both the chairs’ and the delegates’ side.

Creating a real team proved tough, as different delegates had different ap-proaches towards tasks. Compiling a list of working rules was a first step in the right direction, but the outspoken, energetic characters of BUDG still have a lot of work to do. Nevertheless they have greatly improved.

While this may seem harsh, I do not mean it negatively. The delegates of BUDG are determined, self-confi-dent, and dare I say it maybe even a bit stubborn. Compromise is diffi-cult for even the most experienced of EYP participants. I have no doubt that through teambuilding and committee work, they can use their determina-tion and confidence to their advan-tage.

On the other hand, the commit-tee discovered their common love of fighting. That is, not verbally, but as ninjas. Ewelina Maksymiuk (BI) was more than just enthusiastic, frequent-ly landing on the floor in the attempt to perform exceptionally advanced ninja moves. Their chairperson Ka-tarina Warg (SE) was a dangerous ninja enemy, although James Benge

(UK) is still to be convinced of her less than genuine methods after he lost every game. The committee itself admits that they perform less than perfect at what they have dubbed ‘blind games’. ‘Sheep and Shepherd’ gave them quite an insight into their group dynamics, and forming a squa-re with a string while blindfolded did not produce the desired results. On the other hand, the random quadrila-teral did have four corners.

Surely the most talkative is Aga-ta Zagula (TO), who never failed to have something constructive to say about the current topic, whether it

was about finding a solution to “traf-fic jam” or while discussing means of communication. Katarzyna Krzy-wicka (WA) proved to be a very di-plomatic individual, often mediating between the others when discussions became heated. Furthermore, Jakub Mazur (RZ) has shown himself to be a rather spirited addition to the team, and while he did not always alleviate the discussion, he offered a new per-spective that led the debate onwards. Katarzyna Rosa (WA), a last minute replacement for another student, has a natural ease for relieving tension with her friendly but quiet disposition, along with Konrad Zuzla’s (BI) and Jakub Wojdan’s (JG) calm, moddest characters.

Everybody was keen on solving the problems that had arisen during teambuilding, and while some may remain unsolved, I am confident that they will develop a better way to ap-proach misunderstandings during fu-ture committee work. I look forward to seeing the results of their hard work and energetic input.

Compromise is difficult for even the most experienced of Euro-pean Youth Parliament participants.

European Youth Parliament (EYP) sessions are mostly about bringing random people together and leading them to become a productive team. Usually this starts with some name games, where everyone tells their name to the others or, on occasion, shouts it as loud as possible. However, this is not the way the Committee on Fo-reign Affairs II (AFET II) started their team-building. Little did they know that AFET II would have a special connection to God. They discovered this when playing ‘God’s triangle’, where they had to present them-selves to ‘God’ at the end of the game. To everyone’s surprise ‘God’ was our lovely president James Benge (UK), who AFET II is now allowed to call ‘The Lord’. Their divine connection must be the reason why they managed to introduce themselves without a single word spoken at the begin-ning.

After the first game they already knew each other’s hobbies and passions wit-hout even moving their lips. At the same time some people, such as Aaron Gra-ham (WR), mentioned loving politics and especially discussing their political beliefs. Others simply felt passionate about mu-sic, dancing and acting. However, AFET II is quite an athletic committee. More than 80% love doing some kind of sports.

Continuing, they had to go together in pairs and merge to a fictional person. Be-cause in today’s world almost everyone has a Facebook profile, these people also have one, at least on a flipchart. Thanks to this game, they are now all aware of the fact that both Marcin Boboryko (BI) and Aleksander Strzelecki (WA) are single and show interests in girls, while others admitted loving EYP. Going on with ‘two truths and a lie’ some even revealed their deepest secrets. AFET II agreed on the funniest fact: Ivo Morawski (KR) wears shoes which are bigger than a 0.7 litre bottle of vodka. Nevertheless, they were shocked by Karolina Gluszak (LU), who spent a whole summer studying chemis-try, as well as Marcin Boboryko (BI) who works as a DJ in bars.

Furthermore, the committee enjoyed sexual education while staring at a con-dom lying in the middle of the circle. They came up with the unexpected fact for in-ternationals that condoms for women are not available in Poland. Brainstorming continued with having the choice between different flavours. But when using a con-dom, bear in mind that it lowers the quality of sex and remember: they are not always effective! Luckily, AFET II’s condom was left unused.

Like in any session, each committee tries to be ‘unique’, to distinguish themselves from the others at the session. In other words, they force themselves to be hip-sters. This is shown through committee cheers or extremely stuck up behaviour throughout the session. The Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) seems to be doing the same as everyone else. No one can really find a way around committee cheers, teambuilding, or com-mittee work. Judging from this assertion, it is far from simple to create something new and extraordinary.

There are simple, but nonetheless astounding facts that transform the Com-mittee on Industry, Research and Energy into more of a Committee on Bacon and Pizza Affairs. While half of the delegates are newcomers, all of them challenge the officials to constantly come up with more ambitious games. While any other commit-tee would have had enough after an ex-tended version of pass the orange, ITRE enjoyed the even more touchy coin game. They actually made their chair, Oksana Korchak (UA), resort to an even more challenging version of the game, in their insatiable hunger for more.

After what had been a long day of team-building, I expected the delegates to be exhausted at the party. I thought that they would talk a little, maybe dance for a short time and be party poopers. The exact op-posite was the case. When the sun went down, creatures from heaven and hell par-tied like there was no tomorrow. Unsurpri-singly, at least for me, someone from ITRE could always be found on the dance floor. ITRE proved that they knew how to have a good time.

Unsurprisingly, the effects of last night’s party became obvious when playing street fighter this morning. Instead of loud screams, only semi-loud whispers could be heard coming from the committee. What else could you expect after a night of such intense partying? Nonetheless, the tiredness in their faces instantly vanished when they were presented with the first brainstorm activity: they had to find at least one hundred things to do with a journalist.

All in all, the Committee on Industry, Re-search and Energy has been able to fulfil all the criteria put forward by their chair. They enjoyed the party, formed a decent team, and were well prepared. There is no-thing more one can ask of a committee.

“You got one thing in your heart, but another thing is what you do with it.” The way I would interpret this line from the song “Twelve Thousand Years” by Nico Stai is that people, at their purest, all have good intentions; that all people at the end of the day are “good”. Un-fortunately some people, despite their inherently good nature, fail to carry out these good intentions and end up doing nasty things instead. Just like in a com-mittee where no person is “bad” or less valuable for the team than another, all of the members of a committee carry out their intentions in a different way.

I could tell you all about how well the Committee on Foreign Affairs I (AFET I) gets along with each other, how well they communicate and are able to agree and compromise. I could tell you about how much they have grown as a team and how much they will continue to achieve throughout the session due to their de-termination and co-operation. But we all know that already. All these things are what we aim at with teambuilding. What is interesting about this committee is the underlying group dynamic; the way they

look at each other, the tone of voice they take when talking to each other, the way they make each other laugh with ab-surdly loud pig noises, the way they de-cide to take a very objective rather than personal approach to the topic.

This topic could easily be made into a discussion on the suffering of the people in Northern Africa and the Middle East. It would be easy to get sucked into fee-ling sorry for these people and losing sight of how far an outside stakeholder can take part. I applaud the committee for taking a stance that helps them fo-cus more clearly on making decisions beneficial for a wide array of players.

This committee is not special. Now I know that may seem like a harsh state-ment, but what I mean by it is that though they are a unique mix of personalities, the way they work is not that different from other committees. What sets them apart is the little things, such as during Abigail’s Tale finding the bridge most guilty for the tragic outcome of the story. What sets people apart in general is not what they have in their heart, but what they do with it.

Even after several sessions, when you en-ter a committee room as a journalist, you open a new book. Each committee has its own story yet to be written. Though you may find similarities here and there, there will always be a striking element that ma-kes each tale unique.

In the case of Committee on Civil Liber-ties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE I), the very introduction to the book was excep-tional. As the chair, Luca Olumets (EE), asked the delegates to say their name and tell a story related to it, nearly everyone had an unusual anecdote to tell. When Ga-briela Grzywacz’s (LU) parents chose her name, the nurse writing it down told them that “it is not too late to change your idea”. Agata Troost (WA), on the other hand, co-mes from a family where everyone’s name begins with the letter A. The first chapter was then opened with ‘two truths and a lie’, revealing the individuality of each of the delegates as they came up with the most original stories. For example, Berna-detta Surmacz (ŁA), inspired by a TV se-ries, called her hospital to announce that a bomb had been placed inside it when she was a kindergartener. Artur Dysko (BI), on the other hand, claimed to have three monkeys in his house, and Marcin Borys (WA) narrated how he spent his holiday in the Arctic Circle with Santa Claus and his Reindeer. In similar fashion to the game it-

self, two of these stories are true.The impressive creativity of the group

became evident when, during a story-tel-ling exercise, Michał Surynt (JG) some-how turned a little girl into a hamster terro-rist. Yet LIBE I proved to possess excellent logic skills as well, as Kornel Jankowski (TO) solved the Mexican Game after gi-ving it a simple glance. In fact, he reached the conclusion so quickly that his puzzled team members had trouble keeping up with the explanation. As someone who took more than twenty minutes to figure out the solution myself, I can only congratulate him on that.

Furthermore, when confronted with the marble game the committee demonstra-ted their aptitude for challenges. Even after retrieving the required eight marbles from the swamp, they decided to continue the game in order to collect all of them. Here the group demonstrated its true potential. Izabela Czopik (RZ) and Adrianna Hal-man (GD) both demonstrated excellent leadership skills, which, combined with the patience of those blindfolded in the circle, lead to the success of the team.

LIBE I features a combination of people with great logic skills, creativity, and who are ready to face challenges. Though they are facing a very controversial topic, with these qualities, they cannot do anything but succeed.

All committees are unique, however, very few have the ability to let this shine through like LIBE I. | By Giada Benfatto (IT)

During the first day with the Commit-tee on Development (DEVE), I had a chance to spend some highly enter-taining moments watching how the teamwork developed. During a day spent playing crazy games and sol-ving tough tasks, this group of stran-gers gathered together and perfectly used the opportunity to form a team.

Additionally, Inger Thommessen (NO) let out the committee’s dance moves and in all conscience they rocked. The moonwalk by Robert Ci-aston (WR), Monika Matyja’s (KR) plié, Maciek Kowalski’s (TO) ver-sion of Pulp Fiction and loads more. The spectrum of presented moves was an inspiring tutorial for upcoming parties. Additionally, the committee members were introduced to the fa-mous Coca-Cola salsa moves.

It turned out that DEVE was remar-kably creative when it came to the task of creating a concept for sup-plying coffee break provisions. They created a prototype of ‘the Sponge-

Bob’ that deals with the monotonous work of cleaning and screaming at delegates. Hopefully, Polish engi-neers will take the time to continue on further with the research.

However, it is important to keep in mind that the point of the team buil-ding games is not only to solve all the problems. Instead, the most im-portant part is the process of dealing with them. During the first hours to-gether the committee struggled with many of the problematic tasks. Some of them were too hard to manage, but the way DEVE battled against these obstructions showed that you can be successful even if you do not fully achieve your aims.

The team has been built and I look forward to seeing this group working hard to constructively contribute ide-as to the issues of the Eastern Part-nership. Maybe they will create ano-ther innovative ‘SpongeBob’ while writing the resolution.

Developing concepts for future coffee breaks is only one of the points on the agenda of the Committee on Development. | By Sławomir Pelczar (PL)

You have time to do it later. Or tomorrow.

It is not actually that important.

Other things, such as going out and having a friend over, are much more important. Having a social life is an essential part of a functioning human being.

The unimportant essay may not write itself, but it will not be that difficult. It will take 25 minutes, maximum. So you can afford to do it later.

And finally, you have time to do it later. Or tomor-row.

Whenever I receive a task, I tell myself it might be a good idea to start before the day it is due. No matter how many personal deadlines I give myself, or how many outlines I make, I end up in the same exact position. I quickly scramble all my thoughts together in the best way possible in that little amount of time, and

hand it in a minute before I had to. Such work is never my best. I vow to do it dif-ferently next time, but here I am, typing away late at night, and telling myself that ‘No, I really didn’t have time to start my articles until the very last minute.’

The chances of being the only procras-tinator on the press team may be quite slim, but nevertheless, you do not want to be the last one to hand in your articles. Hardly anyone has managed to evade these sticky situations, and I reckon that most people who have gone to school or held a job certainly know what I am tal-king about. Rooms to clean, clothes to wash, a doctor’s appointment to make – we all have things that we dread doing, and we all try to avoid them as best as

possible. But when we realize that time is running out, we get a really nasty fee-ling. We feel anxious and guilty that we did not start earlier, and even though we come up with a slew of excuses for our behaviour, deep down we know it was because we could not motivate oursel-ves enough to start.

Interestingly enough, there has been an impressive amount of research done on the subject – probably because it af-fects such a large group of people. Why do we not start with the reasons why we procrastinate and the thought process that is involved? After all, admitting you have a problem is the first step to impro-vement.

The term ‘procrastination’ comes from the Latin word procras-tinus, meaning ‘forward’ (pro) and ‘of tomorrow’ (crastinus).

The Sufferer’s Guide toPROCRASTINATION

An attempt to explain our inability to complete a task on time and our love for rescheduling. | By Sabine Hain (AT)

Now that you have set yourself up for bad time-management, stress, and often failure, you can pursue those menial tasks that are much more important. The real problems start when you actually have to start the dreaded task. Your research suf-fers greatly under the lack of time, you are strung-out from stress because the thought that you still had to do something was lurking around in your head all day and just would not leave you alone, you are tired because it is two in the morning, and you are panicking because you have no idea where to start. In the end, you ad-mit it as your own fault, and that you would have been better off doing it earlier. We do it again and again, even if we have to spend a seemingly endless night in front of the computer.

Now that we have examined this so com-monly seen working method, bear with me. There actually is a reason why we procras-tinate, and it is not because we are lazy, so the scientists say. Let us start with some basic facts.

The supposed causes of procrastination range from psychological to physiological issues. Some say it is caused by a low sense of self-worth and a self-defeating mentality. Others say it is a mere effect of impulsiveness and boredom connected with the task. I am more inclined to go with boredom and impulsivity, out of fairly obvi-ous reasons.

Other scientists propose that procrasti-nation has a physiological root, namely the prefrontal cortex, a lobe at the front of the brain. This lobe controls brain functions such as planning, organization, impulse control, attention and time-management. Low activation in this area of the brain cau-ses disorders such as Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD) and depression, and some suggest this has a connection to procrasti-nation. So far, it is not looking good for tho-se who procrastinate. We are either men-tally ill or have a malformed brain – can we still go with lazy?

There have been a number of studies and surveys done, primarily among stu-

dents. For example, a 1992 study produ-ced the results that 80%-95% of college students procrastinate, and approxima-tely 75% consider themselves chronic pro-crastinators. It appears we are not alone. A commonly observed phenomenon is the “Student Syndrome”, where a student will only begin to work on a task immediately before a deadline. Does this sound fami-liar?

According to one statement by a speci-alist on the psychology of procrastination, the coping methods used by procrastina-tors are “a myriad of self-handicapping ex-cuses” These include avoidance, distrac-tion, trivialization, and humour.

What is left to mention is how to effecti-vely stop procrastination. All that research conveniently forgets to mention that impor-tant point. I reckon it is due to the fact that nobody got around to it, because they had something else more important to do. After all, we all know how to avoid sitting in front of the computer at two in the morning.

RESEARCHA 2007 paper by University of Calgary re-searchers led by Piers Steel has revealed that 80%-95% of university students regular-ly procrastinate, of whom 75% would openly describe themselves as ‘procrastinators’. Another 52% of the students surveyed re-ported a moderate to high need for help with their procrastinating problem. Though we all often dally, for some procrastination is a way of life. With an estimated 20% of the gene-ral public being chronic procrastinators, this can be a source of major personal problems. Chronic procrastinators are statistically more likely to lose their jobs, have financial difficul-ties, and developed problems in their long-term relationships. Some ‘rational’ procras-tinators use the delaying as a performance enhancing method; the stress facilitates the efficient work. However, most procrastinators are described as ‘irrational’ for which there is no positive benefit.

When I entered the committee room of the Commitee on Employment and Social Af-fairs (EMPL) for the first time, teambuilding was already in full flow, and I was confron-ted with a committee involved in a large group hug and stating that they were “one big family”. I must admit I felt a bit awkward and as if I was intruding into a committee already so united. However, they greeted me heartily and after a brief introduction from Ulrich Vølker (DK), the ice was quic-kly broken.

Moving on from this very positive first impression, the committee continued with teambuilding. They proceeded with a se-ries of engaging games ranging from very entertaining to very challenging. Games such as ‘street fighter’, ‘pass the orange’, and ‘Vogue’ were carried through with much enthusiasm, especially with Zu-zanna Gil’s (BI), Alicja Józefek’s (WR) and Maja Zalewska’s (WA) energy. The challenge began when it came to games such as ‘traffic jam’. For the first time, the committee members’ strong personalities shone through. The unity shown during the previous teambuilding games was put to the test. Nonetheless, it also brought forth the delegates’ sharp minds, as Magda-

lena Bieszczad (WR) and Wojciech Mar-kowski (WR) tried to elaborate the most complex strategies to solve the puzzle.

‘Abigail’s Tale’ further brought their per-sistency to shine, as the discussion quickly intensified while the group pondered the question of where to place Abigail and Sin-bad the Sailor on the ranking. Worth menti-oning here are the results. Generally, when making the ranking, it is Sinbad who takes the worst position. EMPL, however, had a completely different take on the story, con-demning Abigail for her actions instead. While it is always refreshing to see pro-blems tackled from a different angle, it also promises for a very interesting resolution. Indeed, controversial takes at topics are always the most remarkable ones. EMPL is bound to spark some exciting debates during the General Assembly.

Overall, EMPL appears to be a commit-tee with much promise, a controversial out-look, and ready for some intense debates. They have sharp minds and the clauses appear promising from the very first drafts, attacking the issue from all possible sides. A feat, which is not easy considering the broadness of the problem they were pre-sented with.

Through a process involving complex strategies to solve puzzles, the Com-mittee on Employment appears ready as a team. | By Giada Benfatto (IT)
