| The Young SIETAR Education team is excited to announce that Christopher Deal, President-elect of SIETAR USA, will present at the beginning of June. He will offer a new perspective on choosing a Master's Degree, inviting us to consider the role postgraduate study plays in our life, how it can take us where we want to go, and how it fits into our life paths. From his standpoint as a US professional who has worked across different sectors, he will also discuss the extent to which an MA is necessary in the US and in the field generally. He encourages YSians to consider ways that his advice fits or contrasts with their own cultures and will invite those present to participate in a discussion following his presentation." Dr. Christopher Deal has been an intercultural trainer and teacher since 1993. He founded and manages the consulting firm Deal Global Communication and will in July 2012 begin serving as President of SIETAR-USA. He holds a PhD in Intercultural Communication from the University of New Mexico and is a faculty member for the Master of Arts in Intercultural Relations program of the Intercultural Communication Institute. He also produces videos on the subject of intercultural communication. | |||||||||||||||

Unity Within Diversity. Young SIETAR's 13th Annual Congress coming to Belfast, September 6-9, 2012
Unity Within Diversity
Young SIETAR's 13th Annual Congress coming to Belfast, September 6-9, 2012
Young SIETAR (Young Society for Intercultural Education, Training and Research) is bringing the thirteenth edition of its Annual Congress to Belfast. The event is to be held September 6-9, 2012 in Belfast's. Finding Unity Within our Cultural Diversity is the theme of this year's edition. The Congress will bring together about 75-100 students, young professionals, and experts in intercultural studies.
During four days the participants will explore various types of conflict, and more importantly, approaches to reach conflict resolution with an emphasis on intercultural situations. The attendees will also have a chance to analyse real-life conflict case studies and try to develop possible ways to resolve them. It will be equally important for the participants to meet the locals, to listen to their stories about experiencing the Troubles in Belfast and about Belfast's present, and to learn what could be the basis of understanding between cultures.
Further details on the 2012 Belfast Congress will be made available on the event's website http://tinyurl.com/yscongress2012 - it is also possible to sign up for the Congress newsletter with regular updates on the event (at http://eepurl.com/jHAyT).>
The previous editions of the Congress were held in a variety of locations, including Egypt, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Turkey. Each edition reunited between 50 and 100 participants of various backgrounds (students and professionals) in order to exchange knowledge and experience, share best practice and explore together the intercultural field.

Time To Get Blogging
It's time to start blogging and tell the rest of the membership what's happening in your region. This is the place where anyone visiting our SIETAR Europa site can view the news, views and events for the whole of Europe... but only if you blog about it. So, please make a start.
Testing out the system…
Thanks for getting things rolling here, Deborah.
Watch this SPACE
This new blog space is the perfect place for the meeting of European minds, ideas and news about events and happenings.
Thanks Debby for driving the project.
I hope that plenty of people get involved and we build momentum for the clever technological things that will happen around the SIETAR Europa Congress in Tallin in 2013.
Cheers,
