In unexpected gushes the rain occasionally hits the pressroom. Before coming to the session, we were told Bergen was a rainy place. If we had only known how rainy. The mood is set in the Montana Hotel, where we safely shelter from the violent storm that rages behind the walls of our rooms. Yet, the concrete structures of the building will provide no shelter for a storm a storm that is yet to come.

As we write this editorial, most officials are asleep as it is the night before the big event: the arrival of the delegates. In our minds we try to visualise the now so quiet hotel buzzing with energy and activity – the 8th National Session of EYP Norway in Bergen is about to commence.

By the time you read this, you will have had an intense day of Teambuilding and socialising, meet-ing new people and learning more about “this thing called EYP”.

How are you feeling? Tired?

Well, then you may find a comfortable read just the thing for you. Moose Media is the session maga-zine produced by a team composed of seven jour-nalists and two editors, out of who (by chance) only one carries the Norwegian identity. This may explain the overall moose theme of the paper, which came forth from a collection of stereotypical assumptions about Norway, an actual moose merchandise shop, and a convenient pun that we will leave up to you to discover.

The journalists have been working hard to provide you, the reader, with convenient and bite-size infor-mation that surely will enhance your session experi-ence. Want extra info on your chair, the topic, EYP in general or just looking for entertainment? Search no further, Moose Media satisfies all your needs… and perhaps even more!

We do not know how they got here. We do not know what they have in mind. We do not know the colour of their daily underwear, and we do not know to which mission they dedicate themselves. Above all, we do not know if you can keep your sanity when you encounter them. What we do know, is their names and their com-mittee: Jari Marjelund and Olav S. Eken, who are chairing the committee on Climate Change.

It is the planet’s first encounter with this par-ticularly ‘little’ specie of chairs and therefore the Ministry of Reckless Affairs requires each and everyone to memorize the following informa-tion, for your own safety.

Species J. Marjelund is, above all, male. De-scending from a place far up in the North - Fin-land, it’s called, he is distinctively blond and not quite obviously small. You are strongly urged to not underestimate this highly advanced being.

It is easily possible that you will find yourself drowned by his brilliant mind and jokes, not to mention the amount of control he likes to im-pose over things he dedicates himself to. Being a very hard and devoted worker also requires sleep, lots and lots of it. Jari is an honourable member of the sleeping, napping – sorry – pow-ernapping – club which he likes to attend when-ever spare time presents itself. His aforemen-tioned humour turn out to be dark and inspired by other galaxies and worlds such as Star Wars, Monty Python and the town of Springfield. This does not contradict itself with the fact that spe-cies J. Marjelund is a clear and cool thinker, who studies International Relations in his hometown Tampere. Although futuristic, J. Marjelund has some dusty preferences such as the Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel and he still possesses the rare quality to listen – nearly extinct in our modern times. The Ministry of Reckless Affairs unanimously concludes that interaction with this specie is strongly encouraged – but, enjoy with caution.

We know he is here. We know he is here to rule. We know he desires the presidency. We know he is the president. That said, get yourself sacrificed for him and never forget M. Python’s words: “always look on the bright side of life!”

Specie O. S. Eken is, among others, another male. Also descending from a place far beyond our heating capacities, Norway, he is obviously also blond, but not so small. This species is de-scribed as a polite and funny, so it goes without caution to exercise caution when engaging with this specie. Its existence is heavily influenced by Family Guy and Springfield (what’s the mat-ter with this town?). A very odd fact about this

being is his disgust for mosquitoes and his ac-ceptance that there will never be a ‘dislike’ but-ton on a certain social platform – “so get over it“, you might hear at your first encounter. O. S. Eken likes to play a very advanced game called handball, which he practises it for over 11 years now – a fact which tells of his discipline and commitment. The very one thing that species O. S. Eken shares with species J. Marjelund is his taste in music as he aswell sticks to the Beatles and S&G – a prerequisite for rocking coopera-tion! Studying in Oslo (the place to be after Ber-gen, I heard), O. S. Eken commits himself to the art of science, so be aware if you are to meet this cool and clever mind. The Ministry of Reck-less Affaires has agreed with vast majority that interaction with this special species is, also, very much appreciated – but, as you know, enjoy with caution!

Just before starting her studies in Social Poli-cy and Politics at university in the UK, the lovely Inger from Oslo has agreed to come to Bergen and be the leading lady of the DROI committee. When not busy with EYP or university she fol-lows her third great passion: music. Being the vocalist, guitarist and only member of her band, she has enjoyed quite some success. Today, her Facebook fan page (I recommend you visit it some time) has a staggering 217 enthusiastic members, who follow every step their idol takes. Her fans come from all over Europe, which prob-ably has something to do with EYP, including Norway, Ireland and the Netherlands.

There is a less glamorous side of her, how-ever. When asked about her most embarrassing EYP experience, she replied the following:

“At the summer session in Leuven in 2009, they had a superhero theme party. I went for a cat woman costume, and bought everything I could think of. Covered in latex from head to toe, I only lacked the whip. So I bought one, which was about two meters long. Now the party was great, but the day after a couple of the guys had some gruesome bruises on their bums, all thanks to me. And the pictures of it didn’t make my red cheeks less noticeable.”

She promised to behave during this session and, given a guitar is provided, she might even honour us with a little performance of her musi-cal skills.

Inger Thommessenknow your chairs

» When I was little I always dreamed of getting three wishes, you know, like in the fairy tales. During my youth the dreams changed time to time. I was wondering, what would you wish if you got the three wishes right now?

V: Ehm...that everyday would have additional 5 hours in it, that I didn't need any sleep what-soever, and that Merete would move to Norway, study there, and live under my bed.

G: I wish I could go to bed right now (0:34am), that the session will be amazing... and of course an unlimited number of extra wishes.

» Would you accept a chance to become a dic-tator of some country? Maybe your country of birth perhaps, and why?

V: I wouldn't accept it. I think I am too lazy for that.

G: Well...I would accept it. For a lifetime...and I would do evil deeds. I would make EYP manda-tory and I would also force people to play Funky Chicken all the time.

» Now something a little bit more serious. What is your opinion about the recent media scandal about the burning of the Quran? Do you think it is one's freedom of expression, or that it is a useless and stupid provoca-tion?

V: It is very difficult to be for or against. But in the end I would not

support it's burning because it is just a simple provocation without a higher purpose.

G: I think it is both. It is compatible to con-demn book burning and still be in favour of le-gally allowing it.

» What life experience would you like have, but are you afraid of?

V: Parachuting and bungee jumping, anything that includes jumping from heights.

G: Go to space.

» Which place would you like to visit, or maybe move to? Something like your dream place...

V: New Zealand or Australia.G: I like Norway a lot. I appreciate the fjords

and nature. I can definitely see myself moving here, but of course there are places more favour-able than Bergen.

» Do you have some kind of role model? Why did you choose him/her?

V: It is Jan Egeland. I admire his opinion on helping people. He said that you should help people much more than you do now. Not just to give up your pocket money but to actually par-ticipate in the process, or to pay much higher amounts.

G: David Hume. His attitude towards phi-losophy and science had a great impact on me. It inspired me to be more intellectually humble.

» If you were to choose one person from the history, who would you like to ‘resurrect’, meet or talk to? Why do you think he/she would be useful nowadays?

V: If they would not smell like dead people, maybe Gandhi. He stood up to people that were in the lead. He had the real courage to do some-thing. And, he was also a very inspiring man.

G: It would have to be someone whose body is still in a good shape, or mummified. If it would be from the mummified people I would choose Jeremy Bentham, with Ramses and Lennon sharing the second place.

» What is your biggest dream?V: To make world peace and to make every-

body happy!G: I do hope for eternal life, but maybe I

should be more realistic and settle with a Nobel Price.

My dear human friends, my dear splendid crea-tures,

I’m Moosy the moose, right from the high norths of Norway and part of an

extanct species in the deer family. Now, as we know Norway is indeed sparsely populated and it can’t be expected that a witty moose like me stays within its forestly borders and enjoy the silence.

Trustworthy sources have informed me that EYP has set its tents in Big Bergen and further-more decided to dedicate a newspaper to the species I am! That heard, I couldn’t withdraw from the immediate urge to fulfill my utmost duty, namely to come here and do what I can best: to have my say!

Important things first, as usual. There are 120 000 mooses all over Norway, called European Mooses, which is basically one moose on forty human beings – a quite respectable ratio I’d say. My weight can easily reach 320 kg, bearing in mind that I’m a pure herbivore and I suffer from a lack of front teeth this is not a very common feature within mammals. As to scientific defina-tions, male and female mooses are called bulls and cows, respectively.

More important things second, as usual. The EYP Press Team has honored me with the presi-dency of this magazine and I will not, I repete, I will not let you, young fellows, down on this! You have experienced Teambuilding, from which you are probably more wet than a moose after crossing a river. Nevertheless you are now so-cialized, no savagery anymore! Now you are ready to mingle with your fellow human beings and I do urge you, try to give a big „grunt“ to every single one at the session. Enjoy being lead, enjoy being cared for, enjoy the discussions and enjoy Big Bergen!

This was a first insight in my being at this unique session, but no worries, youngster, there will be more in the upcoming Moose Media, so keep your loyalty!

Always yours, Moosy the Moose

COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS (AFET)The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has brought

instability to the Middle East for decades. Cur-rent peace talks are proving to be difficult. The AFET committee will discuss the approach the international society should take in order to get closer to a lasting peace.

COMMITTEE ON CLIMATE CHANGE (CLIM)While the first effects of climate change

are becoming more and more apparent, the in-ternational community has not yet agreed on common and binding measures to fight global warming. The CLIM committee will talk about the role Norway should play at the next inter-national summit on climate change in Mexico.

COMMITTEE ON REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT (DEVE)

This committee’s task is to come up with measures to ensure the social and economic de-velopment of Europe’s rural areas.

COMMITTEE ON HUMAN RIGHTS (DROI)With terrorists threatening to strike at any

part of the world at any time, what can organisa-tions like the EU do to protect their citizens both from dangers from the outside as well as from so-called “home-grown” terrorists, while at the same time not constricting the rights of their own citizens? Finding an answer to this question is the task of the DROI committee.

COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC AND MONETARY AFFAIRS (ECON)

With the economic and financial crisis not quite over, the focus of attention shifts from the present to the economic future of Europe. In-novative entrepreneurship seems the only way to stay competitive in a globalized world. The

ECON committee will come up with political ways to encourage this kind of economic activ-ity.

COMMITTEE ON EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS (EMPL)

Demographic change and the health care system are the main topics for this committee. The population of Europe is ageing, the costs for health care are increasing and less and less working people have to support a growing num-ber of pensioners.

How can the European governments deal with this issue without compromising the qual-ity of health care? EMPL will find a solution.

COMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT, PUBLIC HEALTH AND FOOD SAFETY (ENVI)

Even though we life on a “blue planet”, clean drinking water is a scarce resource in many parts of the world. The ENVI committee will focus on ways to maintain access to clean water for all of Europe in the future.

COMMITTEE ON INDUSTRY, RESEARCH AND ENERGY (ITRE)

Europe’s dependence on Russian gas turned out to be a serious problem: Disputes between Russia and transit countries like the Ukraine or Belarus cut off the supply of natural gas to central Europe. Although several new pipeline projects like “Nabucco” or “North Stream” are likely to decrease dependence on the transit countries, Europe will still depend on the sup-plier. The ITRE committee will find strategies to deal with this situation.

With or without holes- socks don't need ironing, and thank God for that because other-wise Afrola wouldn't have anything to wear. 20 Years-old and still having your mother do the ironing for you is heaven! Afrola is a busy per-son filled with knowledge about everything from kung-fu to weird Italian drinks. The modern so-ciety has left a mark on Afrola’s life: McGyver is the hero who can solve any problem with just a rubber-band and a piece of gum; ABBA helps her to understand the mysteries concerning love, and Lady Gaga is a big help when it comes to answering the phone.

The grass used to be greener and the lights were brighter but the sweetest thing in the whole world - Norwegian Chocolate - still lights up the

day for Grzegors. Although he has a young soul, his mind is clear and statements deliberated. Talking about personal things is not an option for him, at least not before he has gotten a chance to introduce himself first, so don't expect to get any information about his underwear before you have offered him your hand said your name.

This bubbly duo has high expectations to-wards life and can quote the biggest philoso-phers without any problem:

“Kicking butts is just a small part of kung-fu... it's awesome, but it's small. Kung-fu means ex-cellence of self, being the best you can be...that's what it's about, bunnies!” (Po, Kung Fu Panda and the Secrets of the Furious Five).

Afrola: “My socks are mostly white, but i don’t really pay attention to that, I just want them without any holes”; Grzegorzi: “Be ready to expect the unexpected!”

She is Looking for Him

Sexy Irish redhead puts your life on fireHi there I’m Rita Grant, I’m 20 and from the

beautiful country of Ireland. At the moment I spend my time chairing in

Bergen instead of studying my university course, which has started this week. I actually study

French Art and His-tory at Ireland’s most renowned University at Galway. Still I do not speak a word of French but have learned it for the last 7 years only. Besides that I don’t like to wear long trousers even if it is freezing outside, and I have a nose piercing. If

you’re interested in me and like to take me to my favourite country, Iceland, please contact me under missireland2010@gmail.com.

He is Looking for Her

Matt Damon Double from Tromsø¡Hola Chicas! I am Marius Aure, 19, from the

very north of Norway. Not only I am the hottest Norwegian chair

at our session in Bergen, I also have a very happy and confident character. I am looking for a beautiful and tall girl with sparkling eyes, who is good in cooking Italian food (I love pizza). Since my biggest weak-ness is getting up in the morning you will probably need to bring me breakfast to the bed every day. If you think you can fulfill those qualities and would like to spend your next summer holi-day travelling with me through Italy or Spain you can reach me under mclovin@yahoo.no.

Christiane Kraus (AUT) and Audun Rom-metveit Celius (NOR) are the charming chairs of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Christiane, who “lives in a moment”, and Audun, who “has helped to butcher a reindeer”, are ready to shine

and give their delegates an incredible EYP expe-rience.

This power team does not share their motifs on why they do EYP. Audun has always been fonder of having fun, whereas Christiane proud-ly admits that her biggest source of inspiration is the hot guys: “But still, I’m aiming high.” Girls gotta do what girls gotta do, right? At the mo-ment Chrissy is about to Head-Organise the up-coming NSC in Austria.

In EYP we usually tend to think there is no life besides of EYP, but this statement does not go for the AFET chairs. Christiane likes to spend her spare time with other hot guys (I didn’t know they exist outside of EYP) and the Norwegian male spends his days dreaming about Catherine Zeta-Jones. “I cannot define love since it isn’t based on looks only. Therefore impossible”, Au-dun admits.

When it comes to EYP everyone tends to not only be extremely smart and chic, but also philo-sophical. Before answering to one of my ques-tion sthey both asked: “…can you please define that first?” It looks like the committee on Foreign Affairs will enjoy a high-quality discussion dur-ing the committee work!

If Christiane met her 15-year-old-self, she would just smile and encourage her to make the

same mistakes again: “In the end it’s all good.” Audun would suggest his 15-year-old-self not to get lazy - a useful advice to their delegates also!

The lucky delegates who get to be chaired by Christiane and Audun will most likely concen-trate on eye colours and bibbety-bobbing. Also, expect to meet the sexiest person on Earth and a Big Fat Pony, at least when it comes to Miss Kraus’ taste of men…

If I say watermelon you probably think about eating the red refreshing fruit on a sunny beach. Mette Holmberg thinks about dressing up. This Swedish speaking Finn will fall immediately for you if you quote one of Chandler’s lines from the TV-show “Friends” and sing along if you start playing Norwegian music.

If you ever get in line behind Mette while boarding for the airplane, HURRY UP! Use all means to pass by, in love and queues everything is allowed. Now you may be asking yourself the question; “what on earth is wrong with Merete?” She looks like a Gucci-model and seems like a nice person, why use elbows and stilettos to get through? The truth is that Mette has a secret. Some people have their own things that they do when no one else can see them, but Mette likes to go public. She likes to dress up as a water-melon. As soon as the airplane is up in the air she will rush to the toilet and put on her special costume. We are not talking a little hat and a t-shirt, but a whole outfit, and trust me; you do not want to spend five hours in a crowded airplane next to a huge watermelon. Not will you only have half a seat to try to make yourself comfort-

able on, you will also hear every fact possible to know about watermelons in five languages. Mette already speaks three languages but wants to learn five. She is off to a good start by learning all there is to know about her favourite fruit in the remaining two…

Watermelons are indeed interesting, but there is more to know about this Finnish girl. Mette lives in Tampere in Finland but has a Swedish mother and therefore considers herself as a Swedish speaking Finn. She is addicted to Friends (yes, she likes her real friends too, but now we are talking about the TV-show). If you ask her a question you should not be surprised if she answers by quoting one of Phoebe’s lines. As

most EYPers she loves travelling, and is looking forward to spend two months in Paris to learn French, drink red wine and eat nothing but ba-guette and boeuf bourguignon. Merete; which is her real name, but since no one can pronounce it she prefers to be called Mette, attended her first EYP-session in 2007. As many of us, Mette discovered that once you go EYP, you never go back to what you used to be. As a dedicated fan of Inger Thommessen’s music, Mette would de-scribe the feeling you get during an EYP-session with her words:

“The things I learned are knowledge nowOnce mysteries, let them be solvedAnd all our dreams, some came trueSome were to big, like grandpas old shoes.”

Born in a town where the citizens are known as “rebels”, impossible to find on Facebook and with the strong belief that wine and antibiotics is a good combination, Marie is the girl that will never cease to surprise you. If there is nothing happening, Marie will make it happen

In a time when Facebook has become a ne-cessity to survive, you may understand my astonishment when an Irish girl called Marie Dromey was not to be found on this website.

If you cannot find a person on the world’s largest social network, where should you look? Google! After liters of coffee and endless tries to find a girl in her twenties who seemed like a possible candidate for chairing in EYP, I almost gave up. The only match Google provided me with was someone giving advice about Atkins. I started to become a little bit nervous about meeting this girl, Atkins is not the best diet to be following during an EYP-session when you need constant refilling of cookies and chocolate to stay awake… In this moment I finally received an e-mail from this mysterious girl. Apparently she WAS on Facebook, but used all functions avail-able to remain private on this website.

What could be so secret about this girl that she wanted to hide herself on Facebook?

According to Facebook Marie loves to go rambling in her hometown dressed in a shirt from the men’s department, is addicted to coffee and listens to music by a band called “Cheese on Bread”. So delegates, be sure to have a cup of freshly brewed coffee ready to hand over early in the morning to your chair if you want to bribe her!

The County of Cork where Marie grew up goes under the nickname “The Rebel County” ever since the War of the Roses in the 15th cen-tury. The Corkonians often refer to themselves as “rebels”; an epithet that Marie seems to live up to. According to herself she returned from her last EYP-session with her whole body cov-ered in bruises, and the first photo I found of her was out partying in the arms of a dark-haired good-looking guy. With her favourite quote be-ing: “…You’re not supposed to drink while on an-tibiotics are you?..... hahaha *continues to pour wine*”. I guess there is not much else to be ex-pected than this girl being a party-girl.

One thing is certain, Marie Dromey likes to live her life, but there is more than parties and crazy things in it. Marie studies Applied Psychol-ogy at the University College of Cork while at the same time attending three EYP-sessions within

the period of one month. On top of that she is head-organising one of them. Busy woman..!

To summarize Marie in one sentence, it would be by referring to one of her own quotes:

“…the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a com-monplace thing, but burn, burn, burn…”.

We were not sure if you would get to see Bergen in the sun, so here is a picture of it.

a rare sight

Norwegian fashionistasFashion and weather do not always go hand in hand. On the behalf of the press team and es-

pecially on the behalf of the one journo who is madly in love with high heels, we feel your pain, Norwegian fashionistas.

However according to some empirical investigations, it is possible to look good when it’s rain-ing cats and dogs! Check out the extensive list of the Moose Media team, that may just help you through a wardrobe crisis on a rainy day.

1. Never underestimate the power of a pair of perfect ‘Wellies’ (= Wellington boots). If you are lucky these shoes save all your problems. No more wet legs nor crying to your best friend “I ruined my best shoes”.

2. What would be Wellies be without the perfect rain coat? Would there be Nutella if there was no white bred?

3. Since your make-up might be ruined due to the rain, concentrate on your nails. Chunky blue nails crown the neo-bohemian style.

4. Ave denim, we salute you. Get yourself the pair of perfect jeans. You won’t regret, since they go with Wellies as well as killer-heels.

5. A hymn to the female form – there is a completely new world under your rain coat. Tiny waists, full hips and bountiful bosoms are officially allowed.

6. Try the Swedish Banker Look. All you need is beige trousers, dark blue blazer and light blue white shirt with stripes. 7. Being stiletto-slim might not always be possible – but converses work when it comes to seeing your favourite band or having fjord dates.8. As we all know, street style has become a gold mine for fashion, it also tells us sunglasses have many practical features, other than just prevent

sun shining in your eyes too much.9. Cherish the moment and wear breathtaking brights. Who said it is illegal to shine brighter than your clothes. 10. Get yourself a fancy umbrella! You can check out some nice umbrella shops in the city of Bergen.11. Find a silly hat which not only protects your head from rain but also gives your style a very personal note.12. Buy some sexy Norwegian underwear from the Moose Shop that does not only keep you warm but looks very hot as well.

-Elina & Max

Climate change is one of those hot top-ics of our lifetime. When it comes to the climate change it seems like almost everyone has some kind of an opinion

what should and should not be done and how severe the situation actually is. One of the easi-est and simplest ways to reduce one’s personal emission is to stop eating meat.

My dear reader, are you familiar with the fact that intensive agriculture contributes some 30% of global greenhouse-gas emissions? The figure is far more than for example travelling emissions. With gusto I ask you to underline the fact that what you eat is far more important than what you drive.

The problem with agriculture is that more than 37% of the earth’s land is used for it, much of this ground has been at least once forested – and now we come to the big problem- defor-estation is a major source of carbon. The used fertilizers and machinery have also their own

large carbon footprint, and same goes for ship-ping your food from the farm to your plate. At the moment Earth is undergoing one of those periodic seismic shifts that reprograms how we should think and feel.

If one person changed from a red-meat-based diet to vegetarianism, would that save the same amount of CO2 as trading in a Toyota Camry for a Toyota Prius. Giving up meat is one of the greenest lifestyle changes one can make as an individual. The power of consumers and little, daily actions should not be underestimat-ed. Every now and then changing beefs into ber-ries truly has a positive impact on the emissions.

A fine guideline would be to focus on eating lower on the food chain, meaning more plants and fruits, less meat and dairy. Raising cattle re-quires more energy than growing the equivalent amount of grains, fruits or vegetables. See, we are not dealing with larger-than-life decisions, it’s just weighing values.

The ones who lived in the 80’s might say that “the Eighties was intensely aware of its status as a decade”, but now we have the change to make the 21st century to be intensely aware of

its status as the decade that made a difference. This, for the first time in the history of mankind.
