To whom it may concern,

Between 24th June-7th July 2001, the Transylvanian Committee of the
Association for Community Colleges is offering a course in the topic
of future perspectives of the Central-Eastern-European minorities in
the context of the EU enlargement. The course developed in
Odorhei/Székelyudvarhely, Romania is going to be a showcase of the
general strategy of the ACC, creating more Community Colleges for an
Open Europe. The participants are young NGO-active Europeans aged
between 18-25. They are belonging both to majority and minority
populations, being West -as well as East-Europeans. The purpose of
the project is to let young active NGO-members of all Europe become
familiar with the case of this ethnically mixed region and to raise
the debate on specific questions relevant for Central- and
Southeastern Europe, especially Transylvania, in the context of the
EU-enlargement.
To find out more details, we enclose the complete description of the
project.
With this we would like to invite you to take part in the event,
representing your NGO. The course language is English. Be prepared to
orally present your organization and actively participate in lectures
and workshops offered during the seminar.  We would also like You to
make public among your colleagues the possibility of participating in
the Transylvania Community College 2001 (TCC).
Please confer the: www.acc.eu.org for a program, a complete project-
description and application form. The letter should be completed and
sent to the above mentioned address of the project-coordinators by
March 15th 2001. 
The project is already supported by the European Commission and the
European Youth Foundation. We expect lodge, board and travel to be
free, even though a small fee may be necessary.
Through establishing a dialogue among various NGO representatives
from all over the continent, we hope not only to offer an analysis of
interethnic relations in Romania, but also to emphasize the
importance of lifelong learning and active citizenship in the old-new
Europe by the particular methodology of the boarding school format,
that is the idea of community colleges. This above mentioned
framework, we believe, renders the course unique and extremely
instructive for developing the civil society in the region.


Looking forward to seeing you,
