The officials of the Session, of EYP from Berlin, of the Schwarzkopf Foundation, and a vice-mayor of Tbilisi spoke.

It was amazing to be there among bright youth of Europe and high-rank representatives. In that moment you realize that also have a power to shape this world.

The hymn of Europe

Though, I was also careful what the speakers talked about. In the cheering promotion of Europe I heard some doubtful ideas and directions which I will face later while travelling across Georgia. There are two sides: politicians and the people.

Nowadays politics forms our understanding of the reality and society. While one thing happens, a misinterpreted text is shown on mass-media; while a nation lives in one way, the government of its country can promote a different vision of international relations for which the nation is known in the world later.

With delegates from Turkey and Switzerland

Thus, I have distinguished couple tips:

- listen but analyze;

- participate but persist in your opinion.

But let's put all the serious stuff aside! After the Ceremony we had a nice banquet and in the evening we got a chance to see "the City that loves us". All the Session participants went to the highest hill of Tbilisi for the party in the "Underwheel" club.

"Whooooo we areee? Crazy-crazy EYP! Sexy-sexy EYP!"

We had truly fun time and danced till we could. After that we went outside to refresh in cold night and to look at the marvellous lights of Tbilisi which were blinking saying, "Yeah, guys, you are lucky **tches, enjoy the life 'cause it's wonderful!"

Then going back to dances in the lazers and smoke.

Every day is special.
