YOI 2005

Now entering its fifth year, this 10 days intensive program will attract 60 students from across South Eastern Europe to Novi Sad, Serbia and Montenegro, on July 12—22, 2005. The curriculum will focus on community organizing and conflict resolution techniques.

Under the leadership of experienced local and international community organizers, participants will spend one week developing the personal knowledge and skills necessary for them to become effective leaders in their communities through a conflict management and community-organizing curriculum. Imbedded in the format of the Institute is a strategy by which students design projects to address one particular issue of need in their home community. Following the Institute, the participants will then implement the project in their home communities and be required to follow procedures for reporting and evaluation of the projects' progress.

Adem, a young journalist from Tetovo, Mazedonia, is interviewing Zelimir Zilnik on his film "Kenedi comes back home". Zilnik had presented his latest documentary in the course of the evening program of the Youth Organising Institute, a summer school, that took place in Novi Sad from July 12th to 22nd 2005. The Youth Organising Institute (YOI) is run by the Johns Hopkins University of Bologna and was held in 2005 in cooperation with Kuda.org, the students union of Novi Sad University, kein.org and freelance trainers. YOI brought together 40 young people from the balkan region (Croatia, Mazedonia, Moldavia, Romaina, Serbia and Montenegro and more) that are active in their communities in order to train them, to offer a space for project development and to connect and network on the issues of their local projects.

General Description:
The goal of this project is to provide conditions for students with special needs to attend classes and have a normal life. Everyone has the right to receive education but people in wheel chairs , for examle, have difficulties just getting in a buliding because there are no ramps nor elevators, also blond students do not have books to study from but depend on other people to read to them. These are only some of the examples that students face every day at University in Belgrade and at other universities in Serbia. A group of students ( one of them being me ) is trying to change this. We are at the very beginning of the project so we need people who are willing to volunteer either to work on this project with us or to help students with special needs; we also need financial help - actually grands for students because some of them need to pay somebody to take care of them.
I hope that we have managed to interest you in taking part in this project.
Thank you.
