02/10/08

Young people from GERB organizations in Burgas, Varna, Yambol and Sliven learned how to be good managers in teams and projects. On Sunday in Burgas they participated in a seminar for leadership among adolescents and its putting into real work. The forum was organized by the MEP Rumyana Jeleva. Albena Taneva doctor of politology was invited as a lecturer.
According to Rumyana Jeleva we should stimulate such kind of skills among youth, because they are basic for the successful realization at the difficult labor market in Europe. Work in team is very important and there isn’t such kind of exercises at the Bulgarian schools.
The discussion indicated the basic knowledge of the youth about leadership. According to Albena Taneva today we often meet adolescents that have enough strength to be leaders, but are passive about their own abilities. She added that this was the main goal of the forum – how young people should apply effectively their leadership in different situations.
The organizers concluded that the games with situations from our daily life as an example, by which the young people practiced their values as leaders through their own experience, were the advantage for them.
