CAPACITATING FUTURE DECISION MAKERS:
A REGIONAL PROGRAM

The program is meant to further pave the way for the change in the predominant and deeply rooted set of values that has been standing in the way of the country's modernization and multiculturalism. The program activities are so planned as to form yet another nucleus of 60 young people capable of squarely facing the present-day realities, the recent past and the future alike, understand the concepts underlying a civil society in real life and trigger off their potential for turning into tomorrow's reformist elite, and to boost the group's sense of self-confidence by providing it with new knowledge and skills and thus assist each and every member of the group to become an active participant and competent actor in social developments, and grow into a policymaker able to introduce changes for the better. Last but not least, the program aims to influence authorities at all levels of governance to operate transparently and be more accountable to citizens for their actions. In order to achieve these objectives, the Committee's Novi Sad-seated branch office organizes three 3-day "conflict prevention" workshops over the period of 12 months, as well as a 3-day visit to Srebrenica for the group composed of 20 trainees who have made the biggest progress. Each workshop assembles 20 trainees - secondary school and university students up to age 25 - coming from different ethnic communities in Vojvodina.

The program is implemented with the assistance of the Balkan Trust for Democracy, a project of the German Marshall Fund.

Novi Sad, November 20-22, 2009

"You mustn't be apathetic and see yourselves as helpless individuals unable to make a change. A society is not a metaphysical notion the existence of which has nothing to do with you. A society is made of individuals like yourselves and sometimes only a word or a gesture can trigger off people and inspire them with self-respect and sense of importance." Probably the words above by which...
