Train the Trainer in Helsinki, April 2011- Week summary (documentary style video)

So, who are we?

We are an international group of youth workers and volunteers from Finland, Slovakia, Germany, UK, Greece and Poland.

Where and when?

We met at the Mountain Bay Course Centre in Helsinki, Finland from 28^th March to 4^th April 2011.

Why are we here?

We are here to explore characteristics of active citizenship, social inclusion, intercultural dialogue and learn how these priorities can be creatively addressed by means of using modern digital media that will enable us to produce short video reports, blogs and information campaigns . We will also look at the political situation in Finland in the run up to the election and particularly to examine the policies affecting young people.

We split up into three groups: two of the groups are conducting interviews and producing a report about the upcoming elections in Finland. The third group is creating this website to publish the results of this week.
