AEGEE LAUNCHES 'YOUROPE NEEDS YOU!' PROJECT IN LEIDEN
The European Students' Forum (AEGEE) launches the YOUrope Needs YOU!
Project with a first training session in Leiden, the Netherlands, from
8 until 13 October 2008. YOUrope needs YOU! aims at
empowering high school students in different countries all over Europe
to become active members of European society.
YOUrope Needs YOU!
Through workshop sessions at high schools conducted by university
students who are members of AEGEE, the project intends to raise
awareness on current European matters, show the practical opportunities
Europe offers, and encourage youth to seize these opportunities. The
use of interactive non-formal education methods will allow the
participating high school students to improve their understanding of
common European values and perspectives. The sessions will be organised
by students for students – a great basis for sharing idealism and the
conviction to act and experience Europe.
YOUrope Needs YOU! Trainings in Leiden and Passau
The project is launched with two trainings in Leiden (Netherlands, 8-13
October) and Passau (Germany, 21-26 October) each lasting 6 days. The
trainings aim at providing members of AEGEE and its partner
organisations with the soft skills needed to work with high school
students, conduct workshops, facilitate discussions, as well as provide
a thematic background.
