The International Office

As international cooperation is an important factor, ŠKIS established an International Office in 2004. The members of the International Office strive to maintain and establish new links with similar youth organizations in Europe. They do this by sharing examples of good practices, including organising seminars, exchanges and other projects and attend various lectures, several among them organised within the Youth in Action programme. Using the obtained experience and knowledge, its members can expand their horizons, discover new people and new partner organisations. All this new information, new ideas, thoughts and ways of coping with the problems are then transferred towards the student clubs. The clubs are informed about upcoming youth exchanges, training and other activities.

Members of the International Office and other people who work at ŠKIS participated in several international events: the European/African Youth Summit in Lisbon (2007), the European Students Convention in Lisbon (2007), the International Conference on Quality Assurance in Higher Education (2007), regional conferences in Struga and Ohrid (2007) and the ISWIB conference in Belgrade (2007). ŠKIS also took part in organising a project called “Crossing Borders” going across Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria and Slovenia by bike (2007).
