  The Southeast Europe Youth Leadership Institute / SEEYLI



SEEYLI is a program of the United States Department of State's Bureau of
Educational and Cultural Affairs. It is administered by the Open Society
Institute in cooperation with IDEA and Towson University.  The program will
be held at the Towson University campus July 2, through July 31, 2002 and
will bring together 95 high school students and teachers from six countries
in Southeast Europe for an intensive, challenging 4-week study of civil
society.  In addition to participating in debate activities and exploring
American culture through cultural/recreational outings, the participants
will also engage in several small, intensive workshops that investigate the
following topics:
      ·         The Courts
      ·         The Congress
      ·         Drug Policy
      ·         Environmental Policy
      ·         Globalization and Economic Development
      ·         Media
      ·         Minority rights
      ·         Youth Culture

SEEYLI is soliciting applications/proposals from individuals and
organizations that are interested in designing curriculum and providing
facilitators for one of the above-listed topics.  The salary for design and
facilitation of one topic is  $6,000, broken down as follows:  $1,000 for
curriculum design, and $2,500 each for two facilitators.  The designers may
be the facilitators, though this is not required.  We do ask, however, that
the individual or organization providing the curriculum for a topic area
also provide and arrange for the facilitation of the topic sessions.

The job descriptions are as follows:





Topic Session Curriculum Designers:  The topic session curriculum designers
will create a 5-day unit for 15 participants based upon the topic
description in the program handout. (Please see www.towson.edu/seeyli for a
description of the topics). The curriculum should meet the overall goals of
the SEEYLI 2002 program: exploration of American culture; interaction among
participants and American youth; developing skills of advocacy,
negotiation, investigation, team work, problem solving, and leadership;
exploration of the role of the individual in civil society; preparing the
adult participants to use the topic session information at home as they
work in the development of youth.  However, there is some flexibility in
the methods used to achieve these goals.





In addition to general design, the curriculum designers will be expected to
provide:
      An hour by hour schedule for each day
      A detailed description of all topics, exercises, and activities
      Complete versions of all handouts

    Also, it is expected that the curriculum designers will:
      Attend a general staff meeting in mid-June
      Schedule any guest speakers
      Arrange and schedule any field trips (with the exception of
      transportation)
    Consult with the SEEYLI program manager and university liaison before
    any curriculum is finalized



Topic Session Facilitators: The topic session facilitators will lead
(teach/coordinate) sessions in both of two different time periods.  The
first time period is Monday July 8 through Friday July 12, 9 a.m. ? 5 p.m.
The second time period is Monday July 15 through Friday July 19, 9 a.m.  ?
5 p.m.  The facilitators will follow the existing, detailed curriculum that
emphasizes interaction, teamwork and problem solving.   The facilitators
will present topics, conduct exercises, and accompany the group on any
fieldtrips.





In addition, the topic session facilitators will be expected to attend
scheduled morning staff meetings during the two sessions.  The facilitators
are encouraged to attend, if possible, full-group social gatherings,
cultural/recreational outings, and the final program banquet to be held in
the evening on July 29, 2002.


It is expected that, before and during the two sessions, the facilitators
will periodically meet with the topic session curriculum designers to
ensure proper application of materials and to modify the curriculum, if
necessary.


Please submit application materials {resumes/organization information and a
proposal (using the form found at www.towson.edu/seeyli)} to:
