• A frank dialogue in an "Open Space" -
  

In June 2009 in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, the International Labour Organization (ILO) organized a two-day "Open Space" session in which young women and young men, employed, unemployed, with different education, met with policy-makers to discuss most challenging issues in the field of education, career guidance, employment and to develop clear proposals for improving the labour market for young people. The decision makers were so impressed with the volume and quality of the proposals and simply said "Wow!".
This video is evidence that "Open Space" a true tool for constructive dialogue: voicing views, influencing policies and understanding mutual interests. The "Open Space" methodology can be used for resolving any issue that requires that a large variety of people involved seek joint solutions. It can be applied by policy-makers, business owners and change agents (like NGOs) to structure what women, youth, workers and the unemployed have to say in a most consensual way.
• My Skills, My Future (youth employment in Kyrgyzstan) -
  

The dream of many young people is to have higher education. Others believe the best jobs are out of the country. Too few look at the real opportunities in the country. But it is not easy, as ILO's school-to-work transition surveys reveals that it takes youth on average a year to find employment and in many cases this is not at all the dream job.
Together with the qualified national institutions The International Labour Organization works to offer young people a range of services for them to choose between employment, self-employment and back to learning a skill. Information and training are offered based on real opportunities in the labour market.
This film is about "Boosting Youth Employment", a project funded by the Dutch government, implemented in Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan from 2006-2010 within the framework of their Decent Work Country Programmes. The film also provides a success story, a young female entrepreneur who could be a role model for many.
