In the last days, it came out, that we are able to offer you a 2days-project management training in Belgrad, on 7th and 8th of July. It is an OFFER ADDITIONALLY to the Online-training, it is a great chance for you to meet in the teams and with the others. However, the conditions won´t be the same as for the seminar in Sremski Karlovci: We can only refund you 70% of your travel expenses, and we cannot organize accomodation. You will get some money for food during the two days though.

We suggest, that you use the possibilty of the meeting to stay one or two days longer to meet your team and work on the project.
the seminar starts on june 7th at 10.00 and ends on june 8th at 18.30.

Content of the workshop:
day 1: conflictmanagement: about possible conflicts in teams and workshops and how to cope with them in a proper way.
day 2: before midday: your topic. you can suggest something. possible topics are e.g. team-work, fundraising, public relations.
after midday: work on the projects

accomodation:
Please stay at your friends in Beograd, use Couchsurfing (Ida knows something about it ) Radan, Please help the others to find good places to stay for these days.

trainer:
Matthias Haberl, 28 years old, working for a development agency in Austria, living in Vienna, studying Balkan Studies in Vienna. He is also part of BLGU team.

participants:
All of you are invited. Though, some of you have good chances to meet with their mentors for smaller, maybe not 2-days long workshops. Milan has his mentor Amir at home, so he will train him in project management in Tuzla.

Deadline for application: Please tell us till SUNDAY, 27th of June, if you are able and want to take part. If not, it is not a problem – the teams “Bethany” & “CLick it and fix it” can talk to their mentors about meeting them and learniing basic project management. However, for “Wake up – make a difference” and “Breakin`the wall” it is your only chance to meet your mentors before your projects start.

Please tell tell us, if you will take part, what topic would mostly interest you (and your team) to learn in Belgrade. So Matthias can adapt the concept to your needs.

Please write back to Matthias (check for his address in Anne’s mail) concerning the Workshop in Belgrade.

Have a great week and cheers

Anne for the BLGU team

So, are you going?

Where are you staying?

For how long are you gonna stay in Belgrade?

What are your ideas for the “your topic” morning/day?

It would be great if Matthias joined in here, and let us know more about this whole thing Like what are his plans, where is this gonna be held, etc.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Mila

I don’t know about you, but our team just heard from our new project mentor (yaaay!). Except for all the organizational stuff in her e-mail, she also shared a link to some pictures from the award ceremony for the JDP that our trainers won! Since I wasn’t sure how many of you have heard from their new mentors (actually I’m pretty sure 2 days ago one of the teams hadn’t heard from anyone from the BLGU team, and that’s rather frustrating), and also if you’ve seen these pictures, so I thought I’d post the link here for everyone to see:

Check out those sexy people!

Looking great, guys!

I’d love it if every team shared a little something about their work- how’s it going, have you completed anything significant so far, have you heard from your mentor, etc.

That’s it from me! Greetings from Sofia,

Mila

 Long time since I’ve post something on the blog but I have the day free, so I told to my self why don’t I write something on our blog

  So it was a surprise to see the new face of BLGU blog, i really like it!! so congrats to the person that change it I’m so happy that we all have the opportunity to realize our projects and just want to wish u all good luck and don’t forget to have FUN !!!

 I’m glad that we will see each other in November and not in June. Not that I don’t want to see all of u but for me, from June till end of September it’s impossible to leave Romania since I have exams, internship, organize a summer university and our project. So it’s going to be a busy summer.

How are you doing?       

PS: for the trainers : if you have some pics from the award ceremony it would be great to see them on our blog.  

 Take care ,

Mihaela

I also uploaded some photos: beautiful and funny photos of you and photos of our smart flipcharts. We recommend to learn every single line on the flipcharts thoroughly. There will be a difficult test for sure:)

On Thursday we will get the youth democracy award – it’s for all of us http://www.bpb.de/veranstaltungen/4BLVR8,0,0,Preisverleihung_des_Jugenddemokratiepreises_2010.html

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I created a new page under the “Projects” page, where I published the story of the giving tree. Here’s the exact link, make sure to check it out!:

http://balkans2010.wordpress.com/projects/the-fairytale-mini-project/

Enjoy

P.S. If anyone has pictures of the girls telling the story, SEND them to me right away, so that I can upload them to the page!

Ecaterina was kind enough to send me her “good pictures”, which I uploaded to the well-known albumat Photobucket. You can view them there

I’d like to remind everyone else who also has photos for sharing, to send them to me or to upload them directly!

That’s it, people. Take care

There are still many more that I could upload – pictures from the town, from your trip to Novi Sad and so on – I’ll do that, too, it’s just that I’m on a very tight schedule this week. If you want to upload any of your pictures from last week to that album, you can either send them to my e-mail and I’ll upload them, or send me an e-mail with a request to give you the password, so that you’ll be able to upload them yourself

Of course, feel free to use the WordPress gadgets if you want to upload your picture right here, too. It’s just that, even though I’m a nerd, WordPress is just too much for me. It’s driving me CRAZEY! I think Radan knows what I mean

I’d really love it if you guys share which are your favourite pictures from the seminar – either as links in the comments, or as new posts in this category I’d do that myself when I have the time!

Good luck dealing with Teh Internets

This is Mila from Bulgaria I just created this new category, that would be perfect for sharing pictures. I suggest you all post pictures from the seminar in different posts, or you could upload them somewhere else and post just the links in separate posts. This is the control freak in me speaking once again… so forget what I just said and do whatever else you like! (or do it my way )

I think it would be great if you posted pictures from your countries in this category, too. I’d love to see them! Post pictures of famous sights, beautiful landscapes, your significant other or your dog or whatever you like

I wanna say that just being with you all…Waking up..And just seeing your faces…smiles..and grumpy sleepy faces…Was more than enough to me…

I hope that we will all stay in contact and rewrite another chapter in this story one more time

Till then..Enjoy
