With the exciting aim of strengthening Jewish culture and innovation in Europe, Paideia & ROI have joined forces to offer European leaders and activists the unique opportunity of meeting, learning and creating together, and to develop and improve their professional skills for the benefit of innovative work in Europe. Both organizations are pleased to announce that applications are now open for the 2010 ROI/Paideia European Regional Gathering to be held in Vilnius, Lithuania, February 17-21, 2010.

Besides the enormous amount of knowledge participants will be able to attain at this gathering, the Regional Gathering offers a great opportunity to be exposed to other European activists and to learn more about initiatives that are being developed all over Europe. This offer is available only to ROI & Paideia alumni from Europe who are developing, implementing or planning a European-based project as individuals or as part of an organization.

The application process is open until Sunday, December 6. A selection committee will then decide on the 30 participants for this year’s gathering. The decision will be based on the project’s impact, what stage the project is in and geographical and gender balance elements. Applicants will hear back by the end of December.

Eligible Jewish European innovators, we encourage you to go to the online application form and apply now!
