this is from last year :)




Which workshop to attend??

Tough question! There are 4 workshops, all very interesting and very interactive! See their description below, and if you still have questions, ask us :)

How to Motivate Volunteers
The engine of a civil society organization are the volunteers. They offer their time and enthusiasm to different projects for the benefit of the community. During this workshop we will discuss about the motivation of the volunteers, and find creative ways of attracting and maintaining them. In the same time we will learn how to develop long term relationships.


Art Club
Drama in education is the topic of this workshop. We are expecting creative participants to brainstorm on the advantages of dramatic tools in educating children, youngsters, adults or elderly people and experiment them.


Peer Education Projects
This year we are disscussing about peer education related to drugs prevention and violence among youngsters: how to deal with these topics and how to use our creativity in developping effective projects for our peers.


Disaster Management
Disasters are becoming a reality of each day. Attend this workshop and you will learn how to face a disaster… if there is no potential disaster… then you will learn how to survive on a mountain area.
