| The Eastern European and Arab Democratic Youth Network (EEADYN) held its first international Turda Democracy Gatherings camp in July of 2007 in which Arab students joined Eastern European students in Turda, Romania for two weeks of skills-building workshops, volunteering, and evening gatherings. The project aims to expose Arab youth to the Eastern European experiences of democratic transition, as well as contemporary challenges in post transition societies. More specifically, the Turda Democracy Gatherings are meant to guide youth in developing an individual understanding and foundation of democratic values and behaviors by drawing on cross-cultural perspectives. During the camp, students were able to compare and contrast the experiences during the time of transition in Eastern Europe, the current effects on local populations, and the skills involved in advancing local democratic movements to that of the Arab World. Students were immersed into a democratic living setting by creating and negotiating the rules of the camp, which all participants and staff were obliged to follow, as well as by participating in workshops, volunteer sessions, evening gatherings, and team-building excursions. The goal for this project is to begin building bridges between Eastern European and Arab youth, two regions rarely connected, but historically, circumstantially, and regionally intertwined. In doing so, the students have become a support network for their aspirations of democratization and civic engagement in their home communities.
