Getting Involved! is pleased to invite young people from Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia to apply for participation in the program.

Eurasia Partnership Foundation and Theodor-Heuss-Kolleg launched Getting Involved! in February 2009 to strengthen civic engagement among young people in the South Caucasus. Participants learn how to shape their immediate surroundings by combining good ideas with the right tools. Working together, they carry out volunteer projects both in their home com-munities and in cross-border settings. In this way, they become familiar with new forms of collaboration and enhance their project management skills.

The best projects will be funded by Get-ting Involved! During the course of project implementation, participants will attend a five-day Project Management Seminar in May 2010 and five-day Evaluation Seminar in Decem-ber 2010.
