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.
