From the 3rd till the 6th of March the partners of Don Bosco Youth-Net
IVZW gathered at Aktionszentrum, Benediktbeuern for their bi-annual
network meeting. On the programme this time was a feasibility visit
focussing on a future project: a Europe-wide project on working with
Marginalised Youth. This is a large-scale voluntary project where the
partners of DBYN exchange volunteers throughout Europe. The project
itself will start in September 2006 and run up until September 2007.
With a workshop on the Host Expression of Interest - an application
needed by host organisations - and a session on partnerships, important
steps towards the realisation of the project were taken.
There
were three other topics on the programme. At the exchange market the
participants sat round the table working out future initiatives. The
international office presented a publication project of a book on
training methodologies. This book will be assembled out of the
resources and methods used by our partner organisations. It will be
published in December 2005. Also Don Bosco International gave a
presentation on the structure and goals of this organisation.
During
the breaks and evenings the participants had the chance to relax and
meet each other in a more informal way: walking in the beautiful
surroundings of the Aktionszentrum, snowball fights and building
snowmen, a cultural night with local specialities and Bavarian music, …
The next network meeting will take place from the 13th till the
16th of October 2005 in Bratislava. At this seminar DBYN will work on
the topic of the preparation and training of volunteers.
