The Turkish-Greek Civic Dialogue reached its peak at the Cultural Youth Festival 'KayaFest'. Over 4,000 youths participated in the various workshops, dealing with psychology, photography, dance, music and much more.
Judging by the turnout and the massively enthusiastic reaction from all participants - Turkish, Greek and European - the Festival was deemed hugely successful. Several cities in Greece and Turkey have already showed interest in organizing a similar festival.

The project aims at improving the mutual understanding of the two societies, both amongst themselves and toward third parties.

Less than a year before the enlargement, AEGEE-Europe will organise the conference "Cyprus in Europe - Europe in Cyprus", in order to foster bi-communal dialogue and activities, together with young Europeans from our network. The conference will take place in the Buffer Zone in Nicosia on 12 September 2003. It will facilitate an intercultural youth dialogue, bring ing together both Cyprus communities and other Europeans to discuss about the future of Cyprus in Europe.

Within the framework of the Year Plan Topic 'Europe in the World', a delegation of fifteen AEGEE members, youth leaders from various AEGEE local groups, travelled two weeks in August to the Caucasus, in order to gain a more insightful understanding of the region. Starting in Georgia, they have visited several youth NGOs, attended various meetings and workshops with local youth leaders in Tiblilisi. On the next phase, they have splitted into two teams, continuing similar activities in Armenia and Azerbaijan.

From 4-10 August, Palestinian, Israeli and European students gathered in Copenhagen, in order to discuss the developments in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The conference was the third in a series of three, and aimed not only at opening the dialogue between Israeli and Palestinian students, but also to look at the possibility for a future project-based approach, in order to maintain the attention to the conflict.

• Cyprus in Europe-Europe in Cyprus - The conference is aimed at allowing European students to learn more about the situation in Cyprus, and to open a dialogue between students from both Cypriot Communities. Within this tri-communal atmosphere, new ideas and projects can be launched. The conference is to be held in the Buffer Zone in Nicosia on 12 September 2003.

• Youth & Globalisation Study Seminars - Three Study Meetings remain on the programme: one in Cluj-Napoca (Politics), one in Izmir (Civic Society) and the final one in Trieste and Udine (Joint Study Meeting). [more]
