Subject: Student Invitation: 9th Kosovar and Regional Student
Conference about Social Issues]]
To:



To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is an invitation for high school students to participate
in the 9th Kosovar and Regional Student Conference about Social
Issues. This conference—a continuation of the eight (8) other highly
successful Student Conferences on Social issues—gathers youth from
around Kosova and the region to discuss important social issues.
Ultimately, The Kosovar and Regional Student Conference about Social
issues aims to bring students from different ethnicities and regions
together in the effort to:

provide an opportunity for youth to present scientific studies in a
professional manner.
create an environment in which the professional exchange of student
ideas can occur.
create an environment in which youth can engage in discussions and
debate about issues important to Kosova and the region.
generate new ideas and offer potential solutions to social issues.
encourage youth to be active participants in society.
build ‘cooperative bridges’ among young people from different
municipalities, regions and ethnic groups.
inform public opinion about issues facing youth and the need to solve
these problems.


ASK cordially invites students from high schools all over Kosova,
Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro,
Serbia, and Slovenia to participate in this conference. It is our hope
that students from different schools throughout region, regardless of
their ethnic, religious, or cultural background, will gather together
and create an environment in which participants of the conference can
exchange views about issues facing society in the spirit of respect
and cooperation.

Yes, I Wish to Participate. What does the Conference look like?

Students will research any social issue they believe is both relevant
and pertinent to society. After choosing a topic of research, each
student/group of students must then write an original, well-researched
and well-argued research paper examining their chosen issue. The final
reports will then be submitted and reviewed by a panel of experts. The
panel of experts will select the best reports, which will then be
presented at the Conference. The selected students will present their
in the format of a 15 minute presentation. Following each presentation
15 minutes will be allotted for questions, answers and debate.
Throughout each presentation there will be simultaneous translation in
all of the languages participating in the conference. At the end of
the conference, students who participated in the conference will
receive a “Certificate of Excellence”. Those who submitted reports but
were not asked to present will receive a “Certificate of
Appreciation”.

The Conference will be held in Prishtina at the American School of
Kosova. Participants from municipalities other than Prishtina will be
accommodated in the ASK dormitories free of charge. ASK will pay both
transportation (by bus) and accommodation expenses necessary for the
participants.
