Final Seminar for the fourth generation of the Fellowship Programme for Young Government Officials will be organized in July 11-14, 2012, in Mavrovo, Macedonia.
The third and final seminar will mark the end of a 3-month programme for 20 Fellows who completed their programme in one of the EU countries.
The Mavrovo gathering will offer the Fellows an opportunity to participate in a leadership and conflict management training. The one-day workshop "Leadership Self-Portrait" serves to collect, share and develop experiences and expectations on leadership at collective and personal levels. The workshop involves group/team work, as well as individual reflection and evaluation, short lecture inputs and wrap-up.
The trainers Bernd-Friedrich Voigt and Kerstin Altherr divided the seminar into tree main groups. The first day "Leadership Self Portrait" is a one-day workshop where Fellows collect, share and develop experience and expectations on Leadership at collective and personal levels. Fellows will have the opportunity to mutually exchange ideas on leadership in their job situation and also during their internships, to learn about different leadership skills such as communication, motivation, conflict resolution. The workshop includes group/team-work, as well as individual reflection and evaluation, short lecture inputs and wrap-up.
Second day ‘Making Diversity Work’ is a one-day training (comprising lecture and workshops), dedicated to Stereotypes and Diversity where Fellows will explore “similarities and differences”, and look at prejudices and stereotypes, why they exist and how they can be dealt with.
On the third day of the seminar, Fellows will participate in the EFB Community Networking Event / Joint Training – "A New Cohesion Initiative for the Western Balkans".
The main objective of this joint training day is to bring together Fellows and the EFB Community for an interactive and communicative team-event, all with the aim of networking. The idea of this networking event is to integrate the different backgrounds and individual expertise of the EFB Community members and to encourage and strengthen the development of not only a “social” but a “knowledge and expertise” network. Exchange of experience and lessons learnt with peers, use of personal knowledge and expertise, and finding creative ways of solution, will enable Fellows to come up with their vision of cohesion and cooperation.
After the Final seminar, Fellows will be awarded certificates for the Fellowship Programme for Young Civil Servants and will become members of the EFB Community.
The call for application for the next generation of the Fellowship program 2012/13 will be announced in July.
