*YOUrope needs YOU! Last training in Çanakkale (Turkey)*

*AEGEE’s project makes more students fit for voluntary work in high schools.
*



The European Students’ Forum (AEGEE) now presents the last training for
multipliers of the first cycle. The ambitious project is hosted by the local
group in Çanakkale, Turkey. YOUrope needs YOU aims to empower high school
students to become active members of the European society.



*YOUrope Needs YOU - a project under the umbrella of AEGEE*

Idealism. Creativity. Dedication. Aspiration. Dreams. The YOUrope needs YOU
project seeks to fill these words with a meaning. The project aims to raise
awareness among high school students about active citizenship, European
matters and values. Moreover, by this project high school students have the
chance to learn more about opportunities Europe offers and are encouraged to
take the advantage of these opportunities. Workshop sessions at high schools
will be organized by university student trainers who are members of
different NGO’s. Using non-formal education techniques, there will be a
great chance for high schools students to improve their understanding of
Europe matters and values. Furthermore, a great basis for sharing idealism
and belief to act can be created through these sessions organized by
students for students.



*Studying at the seaside: Çanakkale, 25 to 30 March, 2009*

To reach the main aims, several trainings are being launched all over
Europe. Çanakkale is the last one of the first cycle after successful
trainings in Leiden (Netherlands), Passau (Germany), Kraków (Poland) and
Oviedo (Spain). The main aim of the trainings is to help participants gain
the skills and knowledge about conducting workshops on European issues,
approaching high school students and giving them the inspiration of using
the opportunities Europe offers. The last training course incorporates
lessons learnt from the previous ones and will be even closer to real life
workshop situations than before. For example, the participants will simulate
talks with school headmasters and prepare a prototype workshop session to be
implemented in a high school. More information can be reached via
