 Young people in Spain: Working for free (1) |

They
are invisible. They don't appear in official statistics and national surveys.
There are young people who work for free - or in exchange for a ridiculous sum
of money - without a contract and without recognized labour rights. In Spain,
they are simply considered recipients of grants, a "special" figure,
out of the law; an undetectable practice - or, at least, it is what they said
- for national Labour Inspections... 
This
year, EJI gathered 31 young journalists from 17 countries on five continents.
Throughout the week, they experienced an exciting mix of professionalism, creativity
and innovation, through interesting lectures, open discussions and hands-on media
workshops. They had the opportunity to interact with high-level professional journalists
and experts and engage in intercultural exchange through practical work and cultural
activities... 
The
main goal of the workshops was self - exploration and accepting your own strengths
and weaknesses, because, as the LSS trainers firmly believe, getting to know yourself
is the first step in becoming a true leader. The topics discussed on the sessions
were: giving and receiving feedback, emotional intelligence and cultural differences,
leadership styles, group dynamics, presentation skills, time management, solving
conflicts and motivation... 
Arguments
of those who oppose this law are two documents that were passed by the Parliament
of Council of Europe that suggest there shouldn't be a total ban on wearing these
clothes, since that would be a violation of religious rights that are guaranteed
by European Convention of human rights. Those who are for freedom to wear burqa,
nikab and such clothes emphasise that women who wear such clothes could be identified,
since in every institution that has a right to ask someone to identify itself
work women who could check the identity... 
Young
people are full of enthusiasm and creativity. They possess the energy necessary
for a bringing 'better tomorrow'; they are sharpened to channel it in the direction
of progress. In favour to this testimony speaks more than 500 of applications
which were received for participation at the 5th "Week of social democracy",
held this year in Bogovadja near Valjevo...
