„Talking about history – a key to understanding”,
22nd - 29th August, Nasutów near Lublin
The international exchange of youth is starting on 22nd August 2010 in Nasutów. Young people from Belarus, Germany, Poland and Ukraine are going to talk about the history of their countries and its impact on the contemporary relationships in Europe.
„Talking about history – a key to understanding” is the title of the international youth exchange which is taking place in Nasutów (near Lublin) from 22nd to 29th August 2010. The partakers of the exchange are young people from Belarus, Germany, Poland and Ukraine. The subject of the project are expulsions which took place during the Second World War. Young people during the project want to focus on the events happened 60 years ago, but still alive in the minds of its participants.
The main idea of the exchange is to understand the meaning of the history in the relationships between our countries. Is it a restraint or an essential foundation to build the common future? During the project project's participants will have meetings with many historians and take part in workshops but the main item will be meeting with Children of the Zamość Region – people who managed to survive the expulsions. The final effect of the exchange will be the movie summing up these eight days which will be available for all interested after the exchange too. We hope that it will weaken stereotypes that often influence relations between our countries and nations.

„Young’s career in Your hands”
With the beginning of August the Labour Market Institute has started another project in the Swietokrzyskie province: „Young’s career in Your hands”. This project will support the Staff of junior high schools, secondary schools and trade schools. Project will end 31.05.2011.
Developing teachers competence is one of the greatest importance in pupils progress. With the knowledge acquisition and new skills, teachers can become more responsive to the changes dictated by the labour market and common computerization of society. As it`s well known in the case of rural youth, teachers also have an extremely important role of professional advisers. Through the appropriate tools, teachers can support students in choosing the way of living and prepare them to function in society. These initiatives will contribute to equal opportunities for young people in the labour market and they are undoubtedly a source of satisfaction of school staff.
The project is a response for growing demand for competence development of teachers. Teachers in rural areas have limited opportunities to improve knowledge and skills. Therefore project “Young’s career in your hands” offers schools employees 80 hours of free training.
