14. the goals of the training 1. • Education for democracy • Blurring the borders (equally on social, community, cultural and geographical levels) • Getting to know each others’ culture • International network building between societies that differ, but still at many points in the past are related to each other • Developing self-consciousness, as a citizens’ value

15. the goals of the training 2. • Mediation from the side of the participants towards the citizens of their own country • Dissolving the stereotypes about the participating nations, by the experience of the participants • To put through the demand in the representatives of the participants’ social layer for developing their own competences and abilities.

16. creatingthe structure of the training • Two venues • Constant structuring • Number of participants • Symulation • Generated conflict situations • Conscious division of the participants • Foundation regardless of their background knowledge • Overcoming the differences

17. the two venues

18. Constant structuring • Regardless of the two differing venue places and dates the aim of the training was continuous, achieved by simulations that were stemming from each other and also interconnected

19. number of participants • while planning, the number of the participants was unknown • Preparation was needed for handling both a bigger and a smaller group of people • The change in the number of participants and handling this had to be connected to the goals of the training as well • A solution to this was self-sufficiency as a goal and an instrument for handling this

20. symulation • Avoid the forming of hierarchy within the delegates of the representative countries • The situations need to stay intact by party politics, cultural differences and strengthening of stereotypes • With regard to the above mentioned parallels with reality for an easier reception

21. Generated conflicts • In order to break the cultural and generational differences down there was a need for constant generated conflicts by the trainers

22. Deliberate division of the participants • Dividing the communities they were used to on order to build networks • Randomization of the age groups and participating countries

23. Foundation regardless of background knowledge • While planning the future participants’ previous knowledge on the theme was unknown • From the aspect of the training common preparation is necessary (overcoming generational, geographical and cultural gaps)

24. Overcoming the differences • Constant overcoming of cultural, geographical and generational differences • Preparing the participants for eliminating the possible differences • Trainers constantly solving the problems that occur during the training

25. Some closing thoughts • priorities • Individual experience • Experiencing the situations • agelessness • Common challenges – common solutions • Individual vs. group
