Euromed for Beginners 10-15 January 2011 TURQUIE

The training course is designed for youth workers and youth leaders from both sides of Mediterranean Sea to support their professional development and to extend their competencies in design and run a Youth project taking in account also the Euro Mediterranean dimension.

The group will reflect about the specificities of working in EuroMed and how the cultural and social background has to be taken into account in order to develop an effective training.

Participants will be worked on conceiving by themselves the activities and to experiment them into the learning group.

The working groups will be "laboratory" for active learning about EuroMed and a peculiar context of sharing.

Monsaraz, Alentejo in Portugal From 3 To 11 July 2010

LTTC "Hand in Hand for a Sustainable Future!"

Hand in hand, 23 participants from 6 Mediterranean partner countries and 6
EU programme countries (Bulgaria, Egypt, France, Greece, Israel, Jordan,
Lebanon, Spain, Portugal, Tunisia, Turkey) had started the first phase of the
long term training course on sustainable development which took place in the
beautiful village of Monsaraz, in the Alentejo region in Portugal; the training
course is organized by Salto-Youth Euromed Resource Center and in
partnership with the Portuguese National Agency.

Why Alentejo?
Alentejo is the driest and hottest region in Portugal. The climate and a lack of
infrastructure have impeded economic development and isolated the area
from the national and European economies. The Portuguese government had
decided to construct a dam to produce hydroelectric power, irrigation for
farms in the surrounding area, as well as a large reservoir where several
tourist ventures are also being built. Then the Dam was constructed and the
largest artificial lake in Western Europe called Alqueva was born. The project
of the lake had so many impacts on the development of the region; so the
venue was a great opportunity to take it as a case study for understanding
the reality of sustainable development due to the impacts of the lake on the
region of Alentejo.

Activites internationales : The Peace Bag
Barcelona 2010

The Peace Bag : on a journey to 14 countries in the EuroMed....

24 youth workers and youth leaders. 14 countries. 1 goal – to understand peace and intercultural
dialogue and how it can be translated and promoted through day to day work with young people.
A project partnership of 18 youth organizations across the EuroMed region brought together participants from 14 countries in an 8-day training on peacebuilding and intercultural dialogue.
The background and experience of the participants proved meaningful as they tried to find their way into a rather long maze of understanding what really peace is, and how they can work for it. It was evident how each participant´s contribution was important in coming up with a shared
understanding of the concepts of peace, conflict,
dialogue, intercultural dialogue, nonformal learning, nonviolent communication, which also set the basis for the work on the toolkit that they themselves collectively developed towards the end of the training.
