THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE

SF2000’s annual conferences are organized using different participative methods such as workshops, panel discussions, working groups, keynote speeches, question and answer sessions, round-tables, confrontation games and consensus building exercises.

DECENTRALIZED ACTIVITIES

Decentralized Activities are initiatives carried out by former SF2000 conference or Long Term Training Course participants back home on a grass root level. They aim to gap the bridge between practice and theory discussed at the annual conferences in Prague.

Examples of decentralized activities:

THE LONG TERM TRAINING COURSE (LTTC)

The SF2000 Initiative aims at expanding to include grass roots activities with the issues raised at the annual conferences. Therefore it organized in 2000 the first round of educational training program.

We see training youth leaders who are capable of organizing projects with an international, trans-national and global context as a priority. The aim of the LTTC Program is to enable participants to plan, carry out and evaluate a project within the framework and visions of SF2000.
