Each year, we organise our annual congress in a different place under a different theme. So far, we have held twelve editions of this highlight of the YS year:

Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Berlin / Ravensbrück, Germany
Berlin / Usedom, Germany
Bratislava / Liptov, Slovakia
Brussels, Belgium
Cairo, Egypt
Istanbul, Turkey
Ljubljana / Planica, Slovenia
Timisoara, Romania
Valencia, Spain
Wroclaw, Poland
Zadar, Croatia

The last edition of the Congress took place at the end of October 2011 in Slovenia. The next Congress will take us to Belfast - let's meet there from September 6 to September 9, 2012! More information will be coming to the Events subsite (and to the home page, as well!) - be on the lookout!

Besides our main annual event, the congress, we organize a number of trainings and workshops, such as a Young SIETAR Day at the SIETAR USA conference, a Young SIETAR Strategy Workshop, Train the Trainer workshops and others. The initiative often comes from our members and this way we want to give them an opportunity to try out their own methods and training ideas. Have a look at our events section for latest initiatives and further details.

A monthly newsletter to keep the members updated on what is going on in and around Young SIETAR.

The Intercultural Database provides members a collection of references from the intercultural field (books, dissertations, thesis, authors, articles, essays and more). It can be seen as the laboratory of Young SIETAR and provides an excellent source of information.

The Marketing Team creates promotional materials such as posters, brochures, info sheets, sponsorship proposals etc. to help promote our vision and to attract sponsors.
