Bridges Project is hosting a multi-national seminar in Edinburgh between 29 March 2009 and 1 April 2009. We welcome your applications to attend and participate in the seminar.
The seminar is the second in a series of three which has the long term objective of developing a network of local associations working directly with young people to provide better and easier access to youth exchanges, job-shadows, special projects. The development of the network will draw on the experience and principles which underpin the Franco-German exchange model between IB Stuttgart and Pointes Jeunes, Evreux. The seminars are funded through the European Citizenship Programme, Action 2, Measure 3. The first seminar took place in Evreux, France in November 2008 and the
final seminar will take place in Stuttgart in summer 2009. Participants are not required to attend all three seminars.
The first seminar examined the principles of the proposed network and looked at how young people can become active contributors within the network. In Edinburgh, we want to focus in on several themes:
1. Standards and competencies of associations within the network for European work with young people
2. Competencies and training for staff working with young people in the European context
3. Successful management of a multi-national network including use of web-based tools etc
4. Semantics and defining some common language
5. Involvement of young people - roles, training, funding etc
In Stuttgart will examine and finalise partnership agreements, evalaution frameworks for projects, training requirements for youth workers and youth and decide upon the final content of the proposed web-site.
We have arranged the hotel and the conference facilities in Edinburgh. We can accommodate 35 participants from Europe. We also have the possibilities of being able to extend the stay of some participants for a couple of nights to help with preparations, and with flight schedules, to enable participants to take advantage of low cost airline schedules. Hotel accommodation, food, airport transfer etc are covered by the programme funding. However, we do not have money to help with flight and transport costs.
The planning partners will be meeting during the week of 2 February to finalise a full programme. The closing date for confirmed notes of interest is 9 february 2009. The draft programme is attached.
