Youth Time Summer School 2015

This event brings together the most active, like-​minded mem­bers of the Youth Time Inter­na­tional Move­ment from around the world, who sup­port such val­ues as com­mu­nity involve­ment, respon­si­bil­ity, inter­cul­tural dia­logue and an active approach to the future. The School is aimed at get­ting young peo­ple the skills they need to enhance their mod­ern life. Par­tic­i­pants have an oppor­tu­nity to train their skills in the areas of personal skills, project development, organizational skills and effective communication.

This year, Sum­mer School topic is “Cri­sis and soci­ety: issues of man­age­ment”. YT calls for par­tic­i­pants who are will­ing to play a more active role in pos­i­tive social changes.

Soci­eties today are fac­ing processes of social dis­in­te­gra­tion and increased uncer­tainty. Alarm­ing cases of con­flict esca­la­tions, social detra­di­tion­al­iza­tion and atom­iza­tion, weak­en­ing value foun­da­tions and prop­a­gat­ing stereo­types threaten dif­fer­ent soci­eties.

Par­tic­i­pants will have an oppor­tu­nity to improve their skills related to build­ing col­lec­tive forms of think­ing and activ­ity. Young lead­ers from dif­fer­ent coun­tries selected to join the event will study key approaches to pub­lic and people-​to-​people diplo­macy, con­flict res­o­lu­tion, risk man­age­ment and break­ing stereotypes.

The Sum­mer School will be held in Ham­burg, Ger­many, 18^th-​22^th June, 2015.
