NEGOTIATING IDENTITIES: A TRAINING SEMINAR ON MINORITY ISSUES FOR
ARMENIAN, JEWISH AND ROMA LEADERS IN EUROPE
The Sixth Goriz seminar will take place in Georgia, from October 22 to
26, 2014.
This year the Goriz Leadership Training Seminar will tackle the
question of minorities and diasporas and of their relationship with
public authorities. It will take place in Georgia, a country where
minority cultures are numerous and vibrant.
The 2014 Goriz seminar is organized in partnership with Hayartun
(Tbilisi, Georgia), the European Centre for Minority Issues Caucasus
(Tbilisi), the European Union of Jewish Students (EUJS) as well as the
ERGO Network of Roma organizations, each of which will contribute
their specific experience in leadership training to the programme.
Most civil society projects involve some form of access to public
resources: a public space, project funding, media attention, help and
advice or the supportive presence of a public official. Who people
think you are matters in that decision; how identities are framed and
perceived plays an important part in deciding whether or not whether
public authorities will support a project.
This seminar aims to explore this topic and to develop participants'
ability to deal constructively with identity issues in order to ensure
the success of their projects and to help them play a fuller part in
public life.
The presence of young people from many different European countries,
with experience in the Jewish, Roma and Armenian communities, will
allow for a uniquely rich exchange of experience on this
topic. Exchanges with leaders from different minorities in Georgia
will also contribute considerably to the exchange.
Seminar participants will be expected to contribute to the production
of a `good practice guide' to serve as a reference and inspiration in
future projects and initiatives and to share their experience through
various media after the event.
AGBU Europe's Goriz programme was first established in 2008 to seek
out young Armenian leaders or would-be leaders in different European
countries and to train, advise, network and support them to achieve
high value-added projects for the benefit of Armenian communities and
for Armenia. The 2014 seminar follows earlier events in Venice (2009,
on lobbying), Yerevan (2010, on democracy and participation),
Brussels (2011, on European citizenship), Yerevan (2012, media
training) and Istanbul (2013, on the situation of Armenians in
Turkey).
Seminar participation is subject to applications. Goriz members are
typically young people who are university graduates, have professional
experience and have demonstrated some leadership skills and
experience. Goriz seminars are held in English. Full information and
registration documents are available at:
