February 15th - 20th

This project will involve specific subjects of European integration and Minority media. We are working with three other minority organizations, two of which can provide a good background information about what should South European countries pay most attention to, in order to became EU members, and also members of EU organizations. All of these organizations have extended knowledge in working with minority media, and we would like to debate of the best way to implement some of that knowledge in different parts of our society i.e. media, social and cultural awareness, idea implementation, starting a new media broadcast in minority languages and receiving all minority rights. That is why we will have different lecturers which are experts in those fields, and also brainstorming workshops which will lead us to new ideas and, eventually, conclusions on what must we do to achieve our goals.

Number of participants: 30
