Syndicate: BALKANIDEA: Balkan Students NGO Meeting |
>BALKANIDEA: Balkan Students NGO Meeting >11-14 May 2000, Ohrid, Macedonia > >In times when the lack of communication between Balkan states is evident, >the need to bring students of those states together is even more than >evident. And many such activities have been done, with more or less effect. >Still, the Youth have always been the most progressive force in society. >And nowadays as globalization arises, it is a fact that the student >population of the world needs to be connected and organized so it?s >progressive ideas may be realized. This seminar is intended to be an event >that would contribute to a greater level of coordination of student efforts, >let students understand that no matter of ethnic and cultural identity, >citizenship, or nationality they are all equal and have common goals and >objectives they all try to achieve, especially so in the Balkans. We want >this seminar to be the beginning of the coordinated common activity of >Balkan students for those goals to be achieved easily! > >This seminar (or we would prefer Congress) that we talk about is taking >place in Ohrid, from 11th to 14th of May, 2000. Applications to be sent to >balkanid@freemail.org.mk or first contact the people responsible in your >country (look at the bottom).

Representatives of student NGOs are >planned from the countries of South-East Europe (i.e. Balkan), and those are >Albania, Bulgaria, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Macedonia, >Romania, Turkey an Yugoslavia. Representatives would come from NGO's that >work in different areas, so that's why the following chosen topics of >workshops are wide in the field they are ment to be. > >- Conflict Prevention: Negotiation techniques and basics of such, but also >mainly taking the perspective of how young people can achieve and >contribute to this > >- Case Study of Balkan Conflicts: in order to develop understanding what the >conflicts of Balkan segments (countries) these days are. This way we can >easier move to solving those conflicts > >- Following from the previous two, also Conflict Resolution or Conflict >Management methods work-shops might be held > >- Open Borders: As we are approaching the future where the processes of >globalization are intensifying more and more every day, we would like mainly >to stress out the mobility of people I.e. of Students in South-East Europe. > >- Student Standards on the Balkans: exchanging of information and >experience in order to concentrate specific actions toward solving the >common problems together > >- Cooperation between Universities and their programs: Mainly stressing out >how can student NGO's "pressure" the decision makers in order to allow >cooperation to gain on quantity and qualitative > >- Exchange of Students: Complementary with the previous workshop. This work >shop is to start the idea and to think of the activities how to make >possible to have student exchanges between the Universities in the Balkan. > >- Human Rights Work shop: Stressing the main problem that is on the Balkan: >minority rights in different Balkan countries. Also taking mainly the >perspective of how students from minority groups cope with their lives and >what their real rights are. > >- Environmental Work shop: This one may seem to be out of the concept, but >since there is large number of youth NGO's dealing with this, we felt >obliged to add this work shop. Especially that environmental standards are >very low in all the communities of Balkan! Discussion about possible >methodology and common actions will be discussed on this one. > >- Last but certainly not least is the Statutory work shop (if this is >appropriate way to put it) that will take part everyday, and it is planned >discussion about the structure of the future formed Balkan Network of >umbrella NGOs!!!
