Connecting Europe is the goal of the Carl Friedrich Goerdeler-Kolleg for Good Governance of the Robert Bosch Stiftung – a three-week international professional development program for young executives from the public sector (public administration, public companies, non-profit organizations, etc.) from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine.

20 young professionals are invited to participate in seminars on “Good Governance” in Berlin and Warsaw from September 8 – 29, 2012. In a follow-up project they will contribute to future cooperation in Europe. The participants get to know examples of implementing politics and good governance in Germany and the EU. They are thus able to gain exclusive insights into political life and establish contacts.

The Kolleg is a program of the Robert Bosch Stiftung and conducted as a joint project with the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP). Guenter Verheugen, former vice-president of the European Commission, accompanies the participants as director of the Kolleg. Further information is attached and available under www.goerdeler-kolleg.de. Application deadline is set for March 12, 2012.
