International Meeting for Young Women

The first Young Women's Meeting was held in Cologne, Germany from 26/6/1998 - 5/7/1998. The participants, whose ages ranged between 15-25 years old, were young women from Germany, Palestine, Turkey, England, Hungary and Finland. The aim was to bring young women of different cultures and point of views together to examine and discuss issues of concern. Visits to different institutes and organizations initiated lively discussions and debates – due to the different contexts and perspectives of the participants. The meeting in Cologne was organized with EU-funding, and a follow-up meeting was organized in Turku, Finland from 16/7/1999 - 24/7/1999. Young women representing Palestine at both meetings were sent by the ICB
