Yes-event (Young European School conference) is an annual international conference for young European students. Started in 2005, Yes-event takes place during the third week of November. In the course of this week, students make presentations, participate in international group work activities, discuss topical issues, solve creative tasks, and become familiar with the local sights and ways of life. The participants get a chance to use their English actively, meet and socialise with their peers from other European schools, and express their opinion on issues relevant to young Europeans.

PROGRAMME OF THE WEEK

Programme of the week:

Monday
The event starts off with a formal opening, where all the participating countries are welcomed. Usually, the mayor of the town and the principal of the school take part and the ceremony requires formal attire. After the official part, the students get to know each other better by playing games.

In the afternoon, the students show their first presentation (10-15 min) in which their country, town, and school are inroduced. This presentation can be a little informal. The format is up to each group, but there has to be a certain level of content. At the end of the day, the students sit down together with their teachers and discuss the different presentations.  

In the evening, students are free to do what they want to do! This includes the participants going to their host-families in order to to get to know them better. The teachers have dinner.

Tuesday
Each school has to make a presentation about the theme of the conference together with a handout. These presentations are approximately 20 minutes long and after the presentations, there is a discussion in the national groups.

In the afternoon, the national groups are divided into international groups. Questions are supplied for debating and discussions in international groups containing one representative from each country.
Finally, the international groups present their results (often in a creative manner).

The programme in the evening is organised by the hosting school.

Wednesday
The organising school creates a nice/social/cultural day regarding the theme of the conference.
