Study Visit and Project Development Activity Between Balkan and Baltic Countries Study visit and project development activity between Balkan and Baltic countries Bosnia and Herzegovina, 12.-18.03.2013 REPORT General information Study visit and project development activity between Balkan and Baltic countries was organised by the SALTO South East Europe Resource Centre in cooperation with the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian National Agencies of the Youth in Action Programme . Hereby as the cooperation between Baltic and Balkan regions under the A31 sub programme is relatively modest compared with other EU neighbouring countries, the Baltic National Agencies of the YiA programme decided in collaboration to boost the cooperation with South-East Europe. Present activity was focusing to the possibilities of Youth Exchanges (as there two possibilities under the A31 sub programme – youth exchanges and training and networking), as this could be the easiest step into to Youth in Action programme. The aim of the activity was to establish sustainable partnerships between the South East European and Baltic regions in order to develop Youth in Action projects, in particular Youth Exchanges. Objectives · To explore the youth work realities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and discover similarities and differences of youth work among the participating countries · To explore quality aspects in Youth Exchanges under the Youth in Action 3.1 sub- action: Cooperation with the Neighbouring Partner Countries of the European Union · To develop Youth Exchange project ideas and concrete action plans Participants Altogether 25 participants were selected to take part to this activity. Nevertheless, for different reasons, a considerable number of participants cancelled their participation in the last minute). Therefore, finally there were only 18 participants (5 from Estonia, 5 from Latvia, 4 from Lithuania, 2 from Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1 from Albania and 1 from Serbia). The group was consisted of 5 male and 15 female participants. The full descriptions of the participants’ organisations are in the Annex 1.

Venue The venue of the activity was hotel „Saraj” in Sarajevo. The hotel was located close to the city centre. Despite it having all the necessary facilities (participants’ rooms, training room and a restaurant), at some point the room temperature was too cold and the staff members were not always helpful enough. The food was sufficiently good. Programme of activities and outcomes The programme of activities was organised around the three objectives for this activity. The main areas of activities were: a) study visits, b) sessions focusing on the quality of Youth Exchanges and c) project development. Programme of activities A. STUDY VISITS During the activity altogether ten organisations were visited for the purpose of getting to know better the local reality of youth work in Bosnia and Herzegovina and comparing it with the participants’ youth work contexts. The visited organizations in Sarajevo were: • Youth Information Centre • Zasto ne/Why not • Aarhus Centre Sarajevo • Partnerships in Health and Y – Peer BiH • SOS Social Centre "Herman Gmeiner" • proMente • Sarajevo Open Centre • Kriterion In Jablanica Youth Council Jablanica and Museum „The Battle for Wounded of Neretva“ were visited. In Mostar Youth Cultural Centre Abrašević was visited, after which local youth took the group for a guided tour in the town. The full description of the visited organisations is the Annex 2. According to the participants’ reflection, the main outcomes of the study visits were: - Getting to know the reality of Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially complex political system and consequences of the conflict in 1990s - Getting to know the situation of youth, especially lack of opportunities for youth in Bosnia and Herzegovina and discovering similarities and differences between the two regions - Learning more about specific topics the organisations were dealing with, such as environment, LGBT issues, health, social research, youth participation and the youth work and youth centres’ functioning in general - Getting to know how different organisations in Bosnia and Herzegovina function in different ways (from highly professional to grass root volunteering) - Getting into a close contact with local young people and hearing about the life in Bosnia and Herzegovina from them. Especially the tour around the city and the international evening that were organised by group of local youth, were appreciated. In annex 3. are the most interesting reflections participants shared after the study visits (and the activity in general). B. QUALITY IN YOUTH EXCHANGES Despite the limited time available for familiarising the participants with the „Youth in Action” Programme the programme consisted of an introduction with the basic information about the Youth in Action and the main quality aspects of Youth Exchanges. The following model was used to visualise the latter: To further discuss the quality in youth exchanges, practical examples were shared during the presentation and during the time the participants had a chance to develop their project ideas in groups. C. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT Despite the big challenge -too big disproportion of participants from Baltics (14) and SEE region (4)- the outcome of the project development phase was satisfactory. Apart from concrete youth exchange project ideas, this activity also provided the participants with a feeling of mutual understanding and meaningful human relationships based on trust, which is crucial for any partnership and project. Towards the end of the activity, the participants seemed to feel comfortable in the group and were showing high commitment to develop Youth Exchange projects. The atmosphere was inspiring and genuine, the participants got along very well with each other and nobody was excluded from the group dynamics. Even the Latvian delegation, which joined the rest of the group in the morning of the third day due to delayed flights, were later well included in the group. Altogether nine Youth Exchange ideas were prepared during the activity. Some of them were developed more in detail, some still needed further elaboration. Some of the partnerships were not yet regionally balanced, so, more SEE or Programme country partners needed to be involved in the future. Most of project ideas were supposedly to be submitted for May 1, 2013 deadline (only one of them was planned for the October 2013 deadline). Four projects were planned to be submitted to the Latvian NA, 3 projects to the Lithuanian NA and 2 or 3 projects to the Estonian NA. 1.) Youth exchange „Arts for Social Change” - Main theme: how to use visual arts for transferring the message – social advertisements - Participating countries: Lithuania (Milda), Albania (Blerta), Latvia (Olga) and one more partner from SEE that would be involved in the project - Timing and location: October or November 2013 in Albania - Applicant: Center for Anti-Corruption (Milda) to Lithuanian NA on 1 May deadline 2.) Youth exchange „ Life is worth exploring” - Main theme: personal development through outdoor activities - Participating countries: Estonia (Merili, Maria, Reeli, Kaisa), Lithuania (Birute, Žilvinas), Bosnia and Herzegovina (Anna) and 3 more countries/partners to be involved in the project (1 Programme country and 1 SEE country) - Timing and location: August/September 2013 in Lithuania - Applicant: VŠĮ "uMunthu" (Žilvinas) to Lithuanian NA on 1 May deadline 3.)

  • Territorial Patterns and Relations in Estonia
    Territorial fiche Territorial patterns and relations in Estonia Demography and migration Regional entrepreneurship Digital transformation Interactive version: www.espon.eu/estonia Introductory remarks The content of the following overview is a summary of research results from different thematic applied research projects under the ESPON 2020 programme. As a consequence, most indicators and analyses are not based on most recent data but represent the data availability at the time when the research was undertaken. Only in a few cases, for some rather basic indicators that could easily be reproduced, more up-to-date information was used. It is therefore important to note that this overview is mainly a collection of available findings with different time stamps and not an up-to-date, comprehensive analysis. Its main goal is to showcase the wide range of ESPON research and, by zooming-in on a specific country, to raise interest for the scientific results at a more national and even regional scale. 1 Demography and migration | Regional entrepreneurship | Digital transformation Demography and social Demographic changes In- and out-migration Projected share of elderly people Sparsely populated areas 2 Demography and migration | Regional entrepreneurship | Digital transformation The direction and speed of population change varies across Estonia, reflecting the situation in most other Eastern European European countries. From 2015 to 2019, the trends in the countries, observes an increasing population and economic role of Scandinavian countries, the Netherlands, UK, Switzerland, the capital region. In Harju County the population is increasing, but other Ireland, and Germany are characterised by an increasing population. In regions of Estonia are seeing a loss of population.

  • Country Profile: Estonia
    Private Sector Interaction in the Decision Making Processes of Public Research Policies Country Profile: Estonia 1. Political, institutional and economic framework and important actors Until 2000, the total R&D expenditure in Estonia has been around 0.6% of GDP 1. Subse- quently it grew from 0.73% in 2001 to 0.91% in 20042, representing the biggest increase (in nominal terms) in the EU to reach the third highest level among New Member countries. The amount of state subsidies to the horizontal objective of R&D remains quite limited. In 2004 this was 21 % of total state aid for horizontal objectives 3. Thus it is not surprising that accord- ing to the Estonian CIS, in 1998-2000 only 4,9 % (2002-2004 4 %) of innovative enterprises had received financial support from the government 4 According to the state aid scoreboard, the number was somewhat higher in the years 2002-2003, when 20.6 % of innovative SME’s (firms employing 10-499 employees) reported the use of at least one form of public support 5. The guidelines for technology and innovation support are set out in different governmental documents, some of them less successful, as the Estonian Innovation Programme (1998), or the National Development Plan (2000-2002) and some of them more important, like the R&D strategy Knowledge-based Estonia 2002-2006 or the Act on Organisation of Research and Development (1997). The latter aims at reaching a better balance between basic research and applied R&D by increasing the share of R&D and by encouraging the application of re- search results in enterprises as well as in society as a whole.

  • OECD Reviews of Tertiary Education : Estonia
    OECD Reviews of Tertiary Education Tertiary of Reviews OECD OECD Reviews of Tertiary Education Estonia In many OECD countries, tertiary education systems have experienced rapid growth over the last decade. With tertiary education increasingly seen as OECD Reviews of Tertiary Education a fundamental pillar for economic growth, these systems must now address the pressures of a globalising economy and labour market. Within governance frameworks that encourage institutions, individually and collectively, to fulfil multiple missions, tertiary education systems must aim for the broad objectives Estonia of growth, full employment and social cohesion. In this context, the OECD launched a major review of tertiary education with the participation of 24 nations. The principal objective of the review is to assist countries in understanding how the organisation, management and delivery of tertiary education can help them achieve their economic and social goals. Estonia is one of 14 countries which opted to host a Country Review, in which a team of external reviewers carried out an in-depth analysis of tertiary education policies. This report includes: • an overview of Estonia’s tertiary education system; • an account of trends and developments in tertiary education in Estonia; • an analysis of the strengths and challenges in tertiary education in Estonia; and • recommendations for future policy development. Jeroen Huisman, Paulo Santiago, Per Högselius, Maria José Lemaitre and William Thorn This Review of Tertiary Education in Estonia forms part of the OECD Thematic Review of Tertiary Education, a project conducted between 2004 and 2008 (www.oecd.org/edu/tertiary/review).

For a few decades place marketing has been mostly a marketing viewpoint for urban areas in the context of tourism in cities or metropols. Smaller rural areas and country-sides have not got so much attention and place marketing is not much used as a strategic tool to improve development in such areas. Place marketing is usually seen as a tourism improvement for tourists, but actually the target audience is much wider. The starting point of the paper was the assumption that the quality of place marketing in these rural areas is not good and strategically elaborated. By comparing three different case studies, Tartu Rural Development Association (Example 1), 4P area in Central-Estonia (Example 2) and Attractions in Municipality of Konguta (Example 3), worst and best practices have been identified, and an answer to the question whether there exists such a thing as ideally sized and structured geographical area that deals with place marketing on the regional level has been sought. Keywords: place marketing, regional development, tourism, life quality, region marketing, city marketing, geographical area promotion 1. Introduction Before place marketing, place selling was a dominant form of promoting locations.

As the first institution of the EuroMediterranean Partnership, it has responded since its creation in 2005 to the ambitious mandate given by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the region to promote closer human, cultural and social relationships between the people of the region. First and foremost, I would like to extend a warm and sincere thank you to the Member States of the EuroMed region and the European Commission that have trusted and entrusted the Anna Lindh Foundation, ensuring throughout its institutional life the needed political and financial support. I would like to recognize the value of the collaborations established with the UFM, UNESCO, League of Arab States, CMI and World Bank, the UNAoC, OCDE, OSCE, British Council, Club de Madrid, Unimed, Copeam—to name only a few of the partners who made it possible for the ALF to ensure long-term impact, reach and quality of its action. The ALF 15-Year Review testifies this achievement, but the best testimony comes from the stories of all the beneficiaries of the Foundation’s actions, many of whom, nearly a million, I have had the pleasure to meet personally throughout my mandate. I have also had the opportunity to meet with people from different cultural backgrounds in an effort to develop their skills and knowledge in relation to diversity management and intercultural communication; to conceive and implement collaboration projects within their society and across the region; to receive awards for the recognition of their efforts and commitment to dialogue work; and to support the strengthening of civil society in the different countries of the Partnership.
