From 12-17 of July, YEE hosted the Training Course "Give international dimension to your projects" in Prague, Czech Republic. For us this was a special training course not only because we were the organisers, but also because the course was held at Toulcuv Dvur, the ecological centre that YEE has been calling a home ever since 1998.

The training course's intention was to offer guidance to environmental youth organisations on how to take their local projects to an international level. Thus, the course strived to enhance participants' competences by presenting them various means and tools. In addition, the training course served as a networking platform that enabled organisations to create partnerships and new connections. Furthermore, the course presented information about funding opportunities for international projects.

This is the last day of Annual Meeting. We started with the presentation and invitation to Member Organisations to join the Climate Campaign. This was followed by the NGOs market where representatives of every Member Organisation could present their objectives and activities.

Then it was time for the evaluation of the Annual Meeting. We stood in a circle and shared our thoughts and impressions about the event and declared our enthusiasm for the future collaboration. We closed the day with the first Board meeting with the participation of the new Board members. Finally it was time to say goodbye, but hopefully we will meet each other again in one of the future projects soon. 

We started the second day of the Annual Meeting with an energizer. Then we continued with the first thing on the agenda which was the discussion and proposal for the new structure of the Strategies and Work Plan. After that the General Assembly voted for the acceptance of the Short-term Strategies 2015-2016. The next session was facilitated by Lira Hakani who presented the opportunities, responsibilities and rights of YEE's network. 

After lunch, we reviewed the membership of 3 Member organisations and IPAS (Association for Environmental Integration and Social Progress) from Albania was approved as the newest associate member of YEE Network.
