ACDC Romania participated between 03 - 06 October 2010 to Rhodes Youth Forum, island of Rhodes, Greece.

Public interest in the fates of the younger generation is caused by the need to preserve and develop social structures in all of the forms of their existence.
The younger generation is included into society through various social institutions: family, educational and professional training systems, and through the adaptation of a civilized identity and a historical memory of the society. Through forms of moral and academic education the youth can adopt spiritual and practical experience of the older generation. Thus, the future is directly dependent on the quality of an existing dialogue between generations. Current social technologies divide the society into independent age categories, cultivating univocal models of communication which is beneficial for economic, political and public opinions. These models reveal the mechanism of passing on historical memory, but undermine the ability to perceive and pass on personalized experience between parents and children.
Pro-active youth was invited to formulate relevant agendas and find practical answers to emerging challenges. Open environment for direct communication promotes dialogue between generations, helping the youth to find the answer to the question “What the future will be like?”. The forum in Greece gathered over 100 people from all over the world (Europe, Russia, the US, the CIS, African countries, Asia (India and China), Brazil, Argentina, and Chile). Current and former leaders of the states and governments as well as public and religious figures, cultural and academic figures addressed the Forum.
The Youth Rhodes Forum is held with the support of the International Non-Government Organization – World Public Forum “Dialogue of Civilizations”.
