Youth Leader Seminar

The Youth Leader Seminar is conducted out each year in autumn by one of the member organizations of YEN. The Youth Leader Seminar is a working meeting, which basic idea is the further development of YEN as a network of youth organisations and continuing education of its members. Consequently, it concentrates on the young generation of European minorities. Furthermore, existing and upcoming challenges as well as perspective future strategies are discussed against the background of the actual developments in social policy. The Youth Leader Seminar has been an integral part of the YEN since 1997. It has been first organised in Bautzen/Budyšin in order to concentrate on the demands which the organisation had to face due to the integration of new member organisations from East and South-East of Europe. Normally two members of each organisation and guests participate in the seminar. The Youth Leader Seminar “Euroburja 2004” deals with the topic of enlargement of the European Union. It takes place in the region of Gorizia on the border between Slovenia and Italy.
