YOUCEE has in the past made a Convenant with, amongst others, the Airborne Museum Hartestein in Oosterbeek. The Convenant was made up to bundle our activities so a most effective result could be made of each others ambitions and ideals. The Airborne Museum has always proved to be a welcoming host to our YOUCEE participants during our activities.
Due to the recent Corona crisis the Museum has landed in financial dire straits and is making a desperate appeal for help to everyone who has a warm heart for the Museum. Therefore YOUCEE repeats the appeal of the Museum on her website in order to give the Airborne Museum a so large possible reach for her cause. The Board of YOUCEE sincerely supports this message of the Airborne Museum at Hartestein in Oosterbeek. For more information click on the button below welcome to the youcee siteYOUCEE stands for European YOUth Conference commEmoration across bordErs and is an international youth conference in commemoration of the second World War and in particular the Battle of Arnhem (1944).
YOUCEE invites students between 16 and 19 years of age, originating from 4 European countries, Great Britain, Germany, Poland and the Netherlands. A programme is offered which starts on Tuesday September 17th and ends after the commemoration on the Airborne cemetery in Oosterbeek on Sunday September 22th . The conference will be held in the vicinity of Arnhem/Oosterbeek in the Netherlands and is subsidized, among others, by the Province of Gelderland, the cities of Arnhem and Ede, the municipalities of Renkum, and Overbetuwe, The Airborne March Foundation, the Citizens and New Orphanage, the Airborne Commemoration Foundation and last but not least The National Fund for Peace, Freedom, and Veterans care (vfonds)
YOUCEE invites students from several European countries to the Netherlands to reflect on and discuss topics like war, peace, justice and international cooperation. The Battle of Arnhem is the starting point and the focus will be on the interaction between students as they learn about the achievements of Europe since 1944. What is life like in Europe in 2019, how do we perceive ourselves within the European borders and institutions of the modern day, what lessons have we learned from the Second World War and how do we apply them to life today? This international youth platform provides an opportunity for expressing personal ideas, opinions, and views in a multicultural setting and a relaxed atmosphere. The highlight will be the Arnhem Model United Nations conference on the 20th of September and the contributions towards, and attendance at the commemoration ceremonies on 20th, 21th and 22th of September.
We hope you will be able to learn from the past through the conference and use this awareness for the future. This was the YOUCEE conference 2014 on video:
