Dear Sir/Madam,

We are pleased to inform you about our upcoming event, the Asia-Europe Training for Young Volunteers, "Learning the Unimaginable" - Volunteering as a Tool for Mutual Understanding, which will take place from the 9^th to the 15^th of October 2008, in Ha Long, Vietnam.

The project is co-organised by the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) and Volunteers for Peace Vietnam (VPV).

The training will bring together up to 30 motivated youth trainers and leaders active in the area of youth, training, capacity building and non-formal education (aged between 18 and 30), from any of the ASEM countries, who are already active in a youth organisation and willing to remain, as volunteers or staff, for at least one year. Fluency in English is essential.

Background information on the event, including the draft programme and the criteria for participation have been enclosed for your perusal.

We shall keep you informed of this process, but would also welcome your input and possible recommendations. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further inquiries.

Yours sincerely,

Ramon Molina
Director, People-to-People Exchange
