International ship?
Hi, people!
I have one question to you... How to translate to your native language "International ship"?
I will wait for the answers in comments!
Cooperation for Cooperation Sake?
Pavel Viknyanskiy, Ukraine, NDLM (People Democratic Youth League):
"Life is to short for wasting it for useless things. Doing something only for process - it`s selfsatisfaction."
Leila Mustafaeva, Lihuania, Young Conservative League:
"Cooperation – as keeping contacts with each other, communicating, discovering common values and common needs – together we can do more! As for me it is very important. Together we can do a lot! Cooperate to achieve together as much as possible and as good as possible."
Anya Melnykova, Ukraine, Psychological Centre “ROZRADA”:
"The voice of one person can be last in the noise of The World. Even if it is a strange it is a note of a symphony which can amaze the world. Note to note – for me is cooperation"
Magda Crucha, Poland, Center of youth co-operation and mobility:
"In general: NO! We should cooperate to achieve a particular goal. But cooperation just for cooperation is sometimes good: because it can let people who has never been abroad to know other cultures, to meet different people, therefore it can make them more tolerant, more open-minded. Using this features they can make useful things in the future!"

Any Ideas for Projects?
Pavel Viknyanskiy, Ukraine, NDLM (People Democratic Youth League):
"Youth needs in new understandable and interesting ideas, projects, entertainments. That`s enough of training without tangeble results and seminars with ties!
The formul is clear: event must be interesting and useful for ordinary people. Exactly the same is idea and 9 years of realisation of Ukrainian student festival "StudRespublika". This is mega-project made by youth efforts. And the most advantage is that it is not boring!"
Egor Samusenko, Ukraine, Kyiv Student Council:
"I heard a lot of about polish experience in student selfgovernment and very few about Baltic countries achievements in this field. And we have an experience of making Student Selfgovernment School in Kyiv that we would like to share with others! I think, idea of exchange between student selfgorvernment organisations would be a good one and useful for everybody!"
Magda Crucha, Poland, Center of youth co-operation and mobility:
- project about woman rights
- project between photograph organizations to create a common art project
- promote woman rights by photography or to promote human rights in general

Why we think cooperation is important
We want Open communication for Cooperation!
- We can attract more people and increase the number of members and member organizations. We can involve young people in social life.
- We can help people with disabilities to integrate in society.
- We can get a better vision of the situation, face with real problems and learn how to deal with them.
- We can gain “Synergetic effect”: By cooperating together we can achieve more than doing it alone. (1 + 1 = 3 )
- We can develop by sharing experience, knowledge, ideas, etc.
- We can create an organization’s image and to influence mass media.
- We can find efficient ways of supporting (informational, financial, governmental, different resources, connection etc.)
- We are in Europe and Council of Europe (EU and non EU countries), We have a lot in common: needs, values, history, geographical situation, etc. By cooperating We can make a step forward to achieve European goals, and straighten links with neighbors.
- We can increase the professional level of the team involved in the project organization.
-We can promote democratic ways of thinking and break stereotypes (e.g. of USSR…)
Magda Crucha, Poland, Center of youth co-operation and mobility:
"To cooperate with several countries to see the problem from different point of view and to join our strength to be more powerful and achieve goals more effectively!"
Valeriy Ciorba, Moldova, Association of Young Researchers from Moldova “PRO-Science”:
"To work in the same field and to do it separately is not the best way to reach the goals. Cooperation is an important point and our organization is going to explore it in the best way."
