If the project will be granted support by National Agency of Youth in Action Programme of Luxembourg (Youth in Action Programme, Action 3.1) the seminar will take place in Tivat / Kotor (Montenegro) in the period of 8 – 13th December 2008.
Also all accommodation, activity as well as 70% of travel costs will be covered by the agency. Final answer about the grant is expected late October.
The seminar will offer possibilities for sharing experiences in youth work between ERYICA members and other participants, develop common projects, discuss the means for strengthening the youth information structure in the Balkan region, and explore options for joining ERYICA network.
