>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). Responsible NGO for organizing this is
>AEGEE-Skopje, antennae in the network of AEGEE (Association des Etats
>Generaux des Etudiants de l'Europe).  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!!!  Hopefully resulting in the future into Balkan Students
>Parliament!!!!
