WHAT is YOUTH for SEE ? A twin-trainings project for youth leaders from the
South-Eastern European (SEE) region and from wider Europe,
i. to explore together the problems and challenges of the SEE region;
ii. have an overview of existing regional and international initiatives for
stability and development;
iii. and bring about a new synergy among youth NGOs across the region and
across Europe, towards enhanced co-operation and quality activism.
The YOUTH for SEE training courses - 8 days each, and complementary in
content and scope - will take place in Belgrade (16-25 November 2001) and in
Istanbul (14-23 December 2001).
Structure and Programme
Youth for SEE trainings will each bring together 60 young activists from the
region and the EU countries, for a 8-days course. 50 of them will be invited
as participants, 5 as tutors (group leaders), and 5 as case moderators. The
academic programme of the training courses will mainly consist of plenary
sessions -with renowned academics, and representatives of key
inter-governmental institutions (like EU and Council of Europe) and NGOs,
delivering lectures and presentations; and case studies that will
interactively explore various relevant problem areas in depth. But aside
from a well-structured and interesting academic hardcore, there will also be
occasions for presenting and developing individual projects, several
team-building games, and an exciting leisure programme to complement this
thrilling inter-cultural learning experience!
The first training course in Belgrade will elaborate a larger European
scope - primarily covering issues and initiatives related to European
integration; whereas the second one in Istanbul will have a regional scope -
focusing on regional studies and structures.
