The "Tool Fair" will gather 120 people coming from both programme and partner countries, all stakeholders of the YOUTH programme: young people, youth workers, trainers, etc.
In one place, for 3 days, the Fair will be a "showroom" for the huge variety and richness of tools developed and used under the YOUTH programme, a place to experiment with methods and exercises used within the different actions (youth exchanges, EVS, youth initiatives, training) and based on different themes (cultural diversity, inclusion, cooperation with partner countries, etc...). The Fair could become the creation of the participants themselves and enable their tools to be used throughout the programme. "Savoir-faire" will be gathered in order to create a "common memory".
This contact making seminar is organised by the Hungarian National Agency of the YOUTH Programme.
Application deadline: 20th March 2006!
MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE SEMINAR

Date: 20-24 May 2006
Participants: maximum 25 participants from the neighbouring countries of Hungary: Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, Romania, Ukraine, Slovak Republic (3 participants from each country, 4 participants from Hungary.)
Context: In the last one and a half years the Hungarian National Agency has been working nationally on the encouragement of organizations to get involved in short- (or long) term EVS projects with neighbouring countires including disadvantaged and / or disabled young people. The reason for this being that it can be a relatively smaller challenge, an easier first step for these young people to try themselves in a safe environment which is not so far from their home.

SALTO SEE, in cooperation with the Albanian Society in Development (ASD) organised a workshop on »The European YOUTH programme: possibilities for participation and future perspectives« in Tirana, Albania, on 12 November 2005.
The workshop aimed to bring the YOUTH programme closer to Albanian youth NGOs. 40 participants had the opportunity to learn about, share experiences and discuss issues related to Albania's participation in the YOUTH programme.
The workshop was opened by Mr. Joaquim Tasso, Acting head of the Public Administration, Economic and Social Development Section at the Delegation of the European Commission in Albania, who explained more in details the current developments of the Albanian association process to the EU and the importance of a stronger involvement of Albanian NGOs in the YOUTH Programme.
The workshop took place in the framework of developing a strategy for the further implementation of the YOUTH programme in the Partner Countries of South East Europe. This year, SALTO SEE in consultation with the European Commission nominated 12 youth NGOs in countries of South East Europe as Contact Points for the YOUTH programme. Since September 2005, their main role has been to assist SALTO SEE in enhancing the visibility of and access to the YOUTH programme in their countries. YOUTH Contact Points have been set up in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Serbia and Montenegro. The SALTO SEE Resource Centre is also planning to set up YOUTH Contact Points in Albania and UNMIK Kosovo in 2006. These steps aim to increase the participation of the countries of South East Europe in the YOUTH programme and are a part of the European Union's overall strategy of drawing the countries of the region closer to the prospect of European integration.

This international activity was organised by the SALTO-YOUTH SEE Resource Centre in cooperation with the National Agencies of the YOUTH programme from Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Belgium and with the support of the YOUTH Contact Point BalkanIDEA Novi Sad.
The study visit gathered youth NGO representatives from Albania, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Estonia, Finland, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Portugal, Serbia and Montenegro and Sweden. It was an opportunity to share impressions of the realities of youth, youth work and youth policy in the participants' countries, establish new partnerships and get to know the reality of young people in Serbia. As results of this seminar 9 concrete projects were developed, and many more are planned to be carried out in the future.
Many of the participants coming from EU countries visited South East Europe for the first time. Discovering Novi Sad and its people was a chance to break their prejudice about this region.
The participants were also invited to attend the reception/contact making meeting organised and hosted by theProvincial Secretariat of Sport and Youth of Autonomous Province of Vojvodina andBalkanIDEA Novi Sad and had the opportunity to meet about a hundred youth NGOs from Serbia, and to learn more about the way they work, their activities, problems they are facing...
This reception was also an attempt to promote the YOUTH Programme within Serbia. The Contact Points of theYOUTH Programme in Serbia (BalkanIDEA Novi Sad, Group "Let's..." from Belgrade and Youth House Nis) presented their work of promotion of the YOUTH Programme and plans for future actions. Also some of the Contact Points from Croatia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia were present. Due to strong media coverage the meetingreached beyond the youth public and local community. The presence of the governmental representatives Ms. Ivana Cirkovic from the Ministry of Education and Sports of the Republic of Serbia and Mr. Srdjan Majstorovic from the Office for European Integrations of Republic of Serbia as well as representatives of big NGOs and foundations from Serbia indicated that the YOUTH programme is already quite visible and recognised as an important tool for the activism and mobility of young people in Serbia.

Venue: Luxembourg (Larochette)
Dates: 28 February - 6 March 2005
Five National Agencies (NAs) from Belgium (the Flemish, French and German speaking Communities), the Netherlands and Luxembourg and SALTO-YOUTH SEE Resource Centre organised together a first common Contact Making Seminar (CMS) to promote co-operation between the BENELUX countries and the countries from South East Europe (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Serbia and Montenegro).

This first experience was hosted in Larochette, Luxembourg, and 27 very motivated youth workers from both regions, were working together during 5 days in a constructive atmosphere. They shared information about their work; they defined project objectives in the frame of the "YOUTH" program and came up with concrete project ideas for a stronger co-operation between the regions.
The youth workers participated in activities and workshops about Intercultural Learning, youth work realities of the present countries and the "YOUTH" program in general. They opened the process of partner finding and the preparation of projects for European Youth Exchanges, European Voluntary Service projects and Support Measures (Trainings, Seminars and Short Study Visits). One of the main targets was to break prejudices between the two regions, an objective which will be a priority of different projects developed during the seminar and which will for sure be an investment in promoting the understanding between the participants coming from different countries.
OUTPUTS: A total of 8 projects were developed by the participants during the contact making seminar, including 4 youth exchange projects, 2 short study Vvsits, one European Voluntary Service project and one seminar.

Organized by the Regional Youth Work Unit for the North East England
Dates: 13-18 March 2005
The North East region of the UK organised a contact making seminar on the theme of youth participation and citizenship in March 2005. Twenty four delegates from 22 different countries attended, with many coming from partner countries in South East Europe and the Caucasus. The delegates met with over twenty organisations from the North East, with the aim of establishing relations and discussing potential future exchanges. The seminar took place over 5 days, and included an international market place, seminars, organisational visits and project planning. The success of the seminar was the openness of all delegates to new opportunities for learning and cooperation. We hope that the seminar will act as a launch pad for new relations between youth workers in the North East and partner countries across Europe.
