Young SIETAR Congress in Slovenia

Ljubljana & Planica, Slovenia
October 26–30, 2011

On Our Way to a Better World.
How our ideas, experiences and skills can help to address challenges of today’s and tomorrow’s world.

Where does the world really need us? How can we contribute to a better understanding between people with different cultural backgrounds?
Within Young SIETAR we share a vision of this world as a peaceful and meaningful place. We also believe that through our actions and projects we can make a positive impact in today’s world. Our congress provides an opportunity to bring our ideas to practice through learning from and engaging with similar-minded persons.

At the congress, we will together explore the following themes:
A collaborative overview of interculturalism in the past: what challenges each period brought, and how were they tackled by various schools of thought?
Learning from the present: what do the concepts (intercultural, multicultural, cross-cultural …) mean in different geographic and societal contexts – and what challenges are they addressing?
Tools, techniques, know-how and skills for professional and personal development.
Inspiring stories of enhancing intercultural collaboration & understanding in the world.
Exchanging our own stories and best practices.
Working on real cases to help bring our cause to life.
