How to follow our work / How to share our experience:
During the 3 day discussion, this point was very clear. Using e-mail as the best way for communication, the partners will be equally informed about the steps in implementation of each activity; every suggestion, creative idea will be shared. This is very important, because the both sides should arrange the exact meeting time for Virtual Cooperation or the possible delays. Permanent contact will lead to achieving each of the goals in the project implementation.
Nobody of the participants should hesitate to ask about things that are not clear, or to give us a new, creative idea. That’s the mean of the project – be creative in every way.

Each participant filled in the evaluation form, and one thing was sure: everybody was satisfied with the training and with the possibility to cooperate with the other group in order to have an opportunity for further cooperation and involvement of youth in the project, with a great possibility for positive changes in local communities. The most approved activities were Virtual Cooperation and web blog, although the participants from Prizren will have problems with space and Internet connection. Other activity that everybody agreed and saluted was the Photo Exhibition, where most of them wrote the desire to take part in its realisation. The evaluation forms were written in both Albanian and Serbian language.

The Creative Dialogue project is supported by INITIATIVE FOUNDATION of the Youth Initiative for Human Rights.
