Life In 19x19

Hello all,

Recently i proposed to EGF a new initiative, creating an European Youth Elite team, the EYE .

The main function of the team would be added motivational factor, selection of EGF youth representatives for certain International events, the team would have priority if EGF finds extra ...

Dear all,

The document that outlines the SEYGO tour project has a decent shape and contents already. While still in a draft stage we feel we are close to what we wanted.
I have attached the doc in this message.

Happy Holidays!

I see that there is a youth tournament planned in Vienna as well. Since I live there, I might be able to help.

Hi Marcel, this is great. Viktor Lin and Li Ting are both in the international team of organizers and you will surely work with them.
You can choose to limit yourself at the local ...

Amazing feedback, Mirta, me very happy:)

Hello,

We have been quiet for a while. Nevertheless work continued in the back ground.
We have received a proposal for the tournament system, i will attach it here.
Also i wrote some outline of the project.

Everything is still in draft stage, brainstorming still continues for a while.

My ...

Hello,

I am back home after a workshop in Sweden.

Some updates:
- I am happy to announce that we got our first sponsor for the Saijo project, Wilhelm Buhler will sponsor a Wordpress-site for the next 2 years. This means we can have all the info related to the project unified on this website, now ...

Hi Catalin, sorry for the radio silence.

Besides people like me who question the bigger picture or redirect your strategic approach, you need people who execute and believe something is possible. Nothing ever got done by only talking about it. I learned, in my professional activity, that this ...

Hello again,

I see that the discussion died , i hope it's not because i said something stupid. Well, nothing should be stupid in a brainstorming process...

I was talking about the international team that will supervise the Saijo project. For the moment the people who confirmed : Damir Medak from ...

I'm surely not as good a strategist as Catalin, but I have business strategy as my profession. Feel free to ignore my questions.

Summarizing the plan, it says Plan for youth development
1. Annual review
2. Grand prix
3. Yearbook


What we see here is a list of actions (projects) that presumably ...

1. You may wish to enter into talks with the London Go Centre, which in turn has already opened a channel to the T Mark Hall fund. You can't reasonably apply to the fund direct, but promoting events at the LGC could be well within the scope.

2. I can't read your attachments as I get anti ...

The EGF academy is limited to 3 players per country, and some of them are not "kids" anymore but close to or over 18 years old. The events in Vatra Dornei, Zagreb and Vienna were not much advertized outside students of the EGF academy, and two of these events took place outside school vacation of ...

That seems reasonable enough, I guess you will make something a bit like the EGF 2016 Yearbook. Culture, Games, Reports, Interviews...
If you want to go the Latex route, you might be interested to talk to somebody like Remi http://forum.jeudego.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=11511
Else, you need ...

Regarding 3. European Youth Yearboo k - I suppose it depends on the size, but I would be a bit cautious about making a printed publication. Something online should be better, there are plenty of platforms to investigate there, and probably plenty of resources to tap into who would not normally get ...

Dear all,

Starting from next year I plan to unleash upon Europe a series of new events dedicated to youth. This will happen in the form of a Grand Prix series for youth.
It is a pretty big and ambitious plan. Of course I cannot do it and I don't want to do it alone. Luckily there are quite a few ...
