“Under The surface”
In september 2007 the third UBC youth conference took place in Pärnu, Estonia with 100 young people, civil servants and politicians from all the ten UBC countries.
The conference consisted of a mix of lectures, workshops and social activities. Participants had an opprtunity to “dive under the surface” and discuss issues such as tolerande and intercultural learning, power and youth influence, NGOs and learn more about the opportunities to go as an EVS-volunteer. The youth participants also had the opportunity to come up with ideas and apply for money for a micro-project.
The conference took partly place in interaction with the UBC General Conference. During one lunch, politicians and civil servants from the general conference had the opportunity to sit down and to talk with the youth representatives.
