Few words: "OUR WHITE SEA Conference offered an opportunity to its participants to take part into discussions and workshops which tackled several subjects relevant to NGO's and their work. The conference delved into the role and the place of NGOs in the development of a Youth Policy in the respective countries. Organisational and project management were discussed in order to strengthen the management system of the NGO's representatives for the conference. Considering that funding is a concern faced by several NGO's, Our White Sea provided information about funding tools and how these can be utilised by NGO's with particular reference to the Youth in Action Programme and the Euro-Med Youth Programme IV. The Euro-Med Youth Platform presented a publication entitled the 'Fund Hunt' which is a directory of funding opportunities for those NGO's seeking support for their projects. Moreover, the EMYP launched 'Youth Work Networks', which is a publication featuring the results of a needs analyses of young people in the Euro-Med region, conducted in 2009."
