In an effort to support the integration process in South-eastern Europe, the TRANSFUSE Association from Berlin and the College of Europe from Bruges are organising for the third year a Leadership Development Programme for young people from South-eastern Europe, as well as broader Europe and the United States, who aspire to play an active role in the future of their countries.
The cost of the participation in the Programme for the successful candidates will be covered by the Programme donors. This will include travel costs, full board and lodging, visa fees and health insurance where required.
The Programme will be led by an Academic Dean, Lord Roper, a Member of the British House of Lords who will guide the participants through the different aspects of the Programme.
Up to 30 participants will be chosen to participate in the programme. They will come from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, FYROM, Kosovo, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, Moldova and Turkey. In addition, a certain number of participants will be selected from broader Europe and the United States.
