‘Together. For the Youth.’ Conference publications
From the beginning of January 2011 to September 2011 the FAR Association implemented a project called ‘Strengthening the Evidence Based Practice of Education Civil Society Organizations Initative’, funded by the Open Society Institute in Budapest. The project aimed to encourage non-governmental and civil society organizations to adopt comprehensive data gathering protocols and strategies to systematically collect data emerging from their service work which once collected and analyzed can serve for enhancing the quality of the services provided by them.
Within the framework of this project FAR conducted a study of the young people living in the region of Burgas on the topic ‘The impact of non-formal political education on the active citizenship of 14 to 19 year old students in the region of Burgas’.
The findings of the research were presented during the concluding conference ‘Together. For the Youth’ which held on 02.09.2011 at Cultural centre ‘Sea Casino’ in Burgas.
Representatives of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Science, Municipality Burgas, Regional Inspectorate of Education – Burgas, National Youth Forum, NGOs, as well as school directors and school teachers, and young people from the region took part at the FAR conference.
The conference schedule included reports by representatives of institutions and various youth organizations on the issues in formal and non-formal education in Bulgaria and Europe.
