BRIEF INFORMATION ON ACTS PROGRAMME
The course is designed for people who want to develop skills and
wider competence they need to build greater peace and justice in
their own communities and countries. Participants will be working in
fields such as peace, human rights, and development, or looking for
ways to become engaged in these, or related fields.
Organisations involved in these activities also have interest in
ACTS as participation in this programme will improve their
efficiency and competence in the field.
ACTS programme is implemented in different regions in the World: the
Balkans, East Africa and SE Asia. In each of these regions, ACTS
will focus on specific regional and local issues.
There are no racial, ethnic, religious or gender restrictions to
participate in the ACTS programme. It is desirable that participants
come from different ethnic groups. As ACTS is region-oriented
programme it will provide great benefit not only to the local staff,
but also to international activists who work in the region as they
will get better insight into local issues.
Because participants and tutors will be of different nationalities
and the reading list is in English, the course will be held in the
English language. That is why it is a prerequisite for all
participants to be fluent in English.
ACTS is a two-year part-time course. The first year of the course
will focus on three core topics, which will have both global and
local content. Throughout the first year participants will be
introduced to the Action Research methodology and will have the
opportunity to engage in it through small research projects.
The second year of the course will also consist of three modules,
which will focus on one major Action Research project.
These modules are:
The First Year :
· Building the foundations: Theories of conflict, conflict
transformation skills and action research methodology,
· Conflict, Power and Change: Engaging with Actors, Systems,
Structure and Policies,
· Designing and Facilitating Conflict Transformation Processes;
The Second Year :
· Action Research,
· Building theory from practice,
· Action Research results and taking it forward.
Each module consists of a ten-day workshop and work-based
application of
knowledge and individualised reading related to action research.
During the residential component of the modules three tutors will
guide the day-to-day process. Two of the tutors will be from the
region, and the third will be an international tutor.
Local academics and other resource people will be invited to share
their expertise for specific sessions, as required by the learning
needs of the group. Tutors from the region are from the University
of Novi Sad and Nansen Dialogue Network, and international tutors
are from Responding to Conflict (UK).
For satisfactory completion of the course, participants will be
required to:
· participate actively in all sessions of all the modules
· keep a learning journal during the course which reflects their
learning and their personal responses
· complete three assignments which are formally assessed. Each of
these is related to the action research being undertaken
· complete an Action Research project. This will be presented to
their "learning group" and to the wider peace building community in
the final workshop at the end of year two.
Completion of the course will result in a Master's degree.
Organisations interested in the aforementioned field are invited to
support their employees, financially and in any other ways as
knowledge and skills offered by ACTS will bring them certain benefit
in their future work.

International Scientific Conference/European Union and it' s New Neighborhood: Addressing Challenges and Opportunitie s/October 18-20, 2006/Vilnius
International Scientific Conference
European Union and it's New Neighborhood: Addressing Challenges and Opportunities
October 18-20, 2006
Vilnius
The objective of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) is to share the EU's stability, security and prosperity with neighbouring countries in a way that is distinct from EU membership. It is designed to prevent the emergence of new dividing lines in Europe by offering neighbouring countries closer political, security, economic and cultural co-operation.
Pursuing the ENP will call for major economic and political reforms in our partner countries, which the EU will support through financial and technical support, opening of markets and providing access to Community programmes where possible.
Mykolas Romeris University organizes 3d International Scientific Conference of Junior Researchers "EU and its' New Neighborhood: Addressing Challenges and Opportunities". It aims to explore the political, economic, cultural, legal, trade, security and spatial aspects of broadly understood new neighborhood, from different scientific perspectives.
The event will take place in the capital of Lithuania Vilnius on October 18-22, 2006. The number of participants is expected to reach 50 - 70, coming from the universities of EU members and EU new neighbors. The participants will be able to choose from six thematic workshops, each exploring a different aspect of the main theme of the conference:
1 Workshop
Political reform: strengthening democracy, good governance and dialogue on human rights;
2 Workshop
Economic reform: including promoting a good business and investment climate;
3 Workshop
Trade, market and regulatory reforms: promoting trade and helping partner countries to integrate into the global trading system, encouraging partner countries to apply the standards of the EU's internal market;
4 Workshop
Cooperation in the field of justice, liberty and security: judicial reform and migration issues;
5 Workshop
Infrastructure networks (energy, transport and telecommunications, information society) and cooperation on the environment;
6 Workshop
People-to-people contacts: education, research and development, culture, civil society, the opening of certain Community programmes.
Since the presentation of the first European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) Action Plans in 2004, the policy is proving its worth as a key instrument to promote good governance, economic and social development in countries around the EU's land and sea borders. The ENP aims to build a zone of increasing prosperity, stability and security in the EU's neighbourhood, in the interests of both the neighbouring countries and of the EU itself. It offers partners a relationship that goes beyond cooperation to include closer political links and an element of economic integration, as well as assistance with reforms to stimulate economic and social development. In turn, ENP partners accept precise commitments to strengthen the rule of law, democracy and the respect for human rights, to promote market-oriented economic reforms, to promote employment and social cohesion and to cooperate on key foreign policy objectives such as counter-terrorism and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
