eYouWins – The European Youth Week in Novi Sad is the largest youth festival with a thematic focus in Serbia. eYouWiNS is dedicated to youth in Serbia, Europe and worldwide, and its mission is to promote the spirit of cooperation and to link cultures, ideas and, above all, people. We started in 2006 and in short time have gained popularity among young people all over Europe.
eYouWins 2008 – People, Let’s Talk! focuses on real-life intercultural dialogue. The aim of the 3rd European Youth Week in Novi Sad is to get to know each other by hearing different opinions about important topics and questions. Exchanging the opinions and ideas will create an intercultural atmosphere where participants can learn the importance of cultural diversity and common thinking at the same time. Besides learning about each other’s cultures, cultural innovation through interactive communication will be placed in the centre of discussions and actions.
Since eYouWins participants come from about 15-20 countries, it is a good occasion to learn from each other’s cultural and social background in order to find a common field of co-operation. This learning experience will be additionally amplified by multinational and multi religious surrounding of Novi Sad and Vojvodina.
There were three project goals in the period noted above, and they were the following: (1) organization of international event that will be place for meeting and interchanging opinions in debates, conferences and cultural gatherings, both formal and informal, contributing to the integration of Europe,
The Festival focus for year 2007 was on correlation between people, borders and education in the world. The aim was to encourage inter-cultural dialogue and enable young people to meet as many young people from other cultures and other nations as possible. eYouWiNS 2007 has offered experience of meeting different cultures and becoming more open towards them in order to contribute in battle against all existing borders, especially intolerance and prejudices.
