​Sad news
Yesterday, Sunday December 1st we received the sad news that
Kor Millenaar has lost his last battle.
Kor was one of the extremely important members of the Airborne International Youth Conference AYIC, later known as YOUCEE. He was for many years the driving force behind the setup and the continuation of a deeply felt wish of the Arnhem veterans: To make it possible for young people to take lessons from the horrors of the Second World war and specifically the Battle of Arnhem. 
We have known him as a warm person with a big heart. He was involved in the organization of YOUCEE up until 2019 and was one of three bearers of the golden YOUCEE pin.
We will miss him sorely and can only imagine what a loss his passing is to his family. We wish them all the strength and love. 
​
Thank you Kor and farewell where ever you are now.

​welcome to the youcee site

YOUCEE 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:
The YOUCEE conference took place from the 16th until the 21st of September 2014.
200 students from all Liberation Route countries came together in Arnhem
(the Netherlands) during the 70th commemoration of Operation Market Garden to commemorate and debate in the ARMUN conference: Arnhem Model United Nations. The conference teaches young delegates the procedures of the real United Nations and the values needed to understand the world.
