Subject: Opportunity to Cooperate - Saratov Exchange Consulting Center
I have received information from the Saratov Exchange Consulting
Center, in Saratov, Russia. Perhaps some list members would like
to contact the Center, to explore opportunities for cooperation.
*****************************************************************
Opportunity to Cooperate - Saratov Exchange Consulting Center
*****************************************************************
I am writing you on behalf of the Saratov Exchange Consulting
Center. It was opened on the October 9th, 1995. The Center is a
joint project of the Saratov Local Committee of AIESEC
(Association of Students Studying Economics and Management) and
Saratov Rotaract Club. It is a non-profit non-governmental
public organization which was founded with the support of
Eurasia foundation, city administration and Saratov Rotary
Club.
The primarily goals of the Exchange Consulting Center are :
* distributing information about all available financial assis-
tance programs, exchange programs and foreign traineeships
within Saratov community;
* providing assistance in obtaining application forms and infor-
mation about the requirements for those interested for partici-
pating in such programs;
* finding employment opportunities for young specialists;
* organizing educational and business seminars and conferences.
Saratov is one of the biggest industrial, educational and
scientific centers in the Volga region. There is a big interest
in establishing international contacts and in participating in
the exchange programs abroad. But unfortunately it has been
difficult to obtain necessary information. Our Center is aimed
to fill that gap.
In its work Center has achieved the following results and took
part in the following events:
* contacts with many foreign and domestic organizations;
* information on different exchange programs and application
forms which were distributed among the Saratov students;
* database containing the information about Center's visitors
and students of Saratov Academy of economics;
* several recruitment projects;
* pre-departure orientations;
* Young Farmers Exchange Program which was held with the help of
Wyoming and Saratov Rotary Clubs. Four Russian young farmers
went to Wyoming for 6 months;
* International Traineeship Exchange Program - AIESEC exchange
program;
* international AIESEC Conferences in Europe;
* Education Advising Workshop in Rostov-on-Don.
The Center is looking for new partners and new activities now.
We hope that your conference will help us in our work. Thank
you for your cooperation.

Subject: Travel help
I am a French citizen, planning a trip to Russia, Ukraine in September 96: I
would visit St Pete and Krasnodar, Kiev, Odessa, Simferopol and maybe others.
Later this year, I would go to Kazakhstan, Almaty.
How can I contact, through Internet, people in these towns who might be able to
help me out when I get there, for things like accomodation ?

Does anyone have information concerning the situation in Belarus re
adoption. What i thought was happening was that 10 families whose
dossiers had reached Belarus before January 1st, were finishing their
adoptions before September 3rd. On September 3rd, all children will be
put on a data bank a la Russia for six months. But I spoke to the
Belarus embassy today and they said they were accepting dossiers from
Illinois and Missouri, and 14 other familes, not from Illinois and
Missouri, who had been identified by the Ministry of Education. Are
these people also restricted by the September 3rd data bank or are they
exceptions? If exceptions, how did that happen?
Please let me know if any of you know anything. I am one of those people
who got caught in the middle, i.e., I have already been over there and
identified a child. I am just now deciding to switch to Russia unless I
learn of new news.
Thanks.

Hello Friends,
I would just like to mention something that I didn't notice before, but
I will tell you now. When I say I would like to publish literature from
Russians, I mean Russians from Russia including people from the East European
countries of the Former Soviet Union. Thank you and I'll let you know when I

Subject: Funders in FSU on disk
The Center for Coordination and Information at the Socio-Ecological Union
has compiled a database that includes hundreds of funding organizations
world-wide that are active in the FSU. They make this information available
to anyone in high, low and medium technology formats, *in Russian*: a
searchable WWW site http://cci.glasnet.ru ; a refence book ; and on a
hypertext disk. The disk, infinitely reproducable (as long as it is not for
commercial purposes), may be particularly useful to organizations that seek
to help nascent NGOs across the FSU that have computers but do not (yet)
have access to the web. These disks can be obtained for the cost of the
disk itself (or bring your own) from CCI in Moscow.

Training Opportunity - Economic Education Writers
*****************************************************************
The National Council on Economic Education (NCEE) is seeking
outstanding economic educators from higher education faculties,
institutes and schools in the former Soviet Union who have exten-
sive knowledge of market-based economics, who have the commitment
and support from their employers to continue developing high-
quality economic education instructional materials after complet-
ing this program, and who can communicate satisfactorily in
English.
NCEE will train up to twenty (20) writers of economic education
instructional materials from the former Soviet Union, the Baltic
states, and Central/Eastern Europe in a five-day workshop in Fall
1996. Ten "key" writers will be selected from the participants
to attend a follow-up study tour in the United States in Spring
1997.
All participants will be required to develop three economics
lesson plans that use an active-learning approach and are appro-
priate for use in their respective countries. Access to schools
and strong relationships with teachers is crucial so that devel-
oped lessons can be field tested. Ideally, all participants will
have access to a computer which can be connected to Internet so
that communicating via e-mail will be possible and so that the
U.S. faculty can work intensively with the key writers on improv-
ing their two best lessons for a publishable form.
Housing, meals, and transportation will be covered by the NCEE.
An honorarium will be provided to participants, provided all
program requirements have been met. Participants must be strong
in oral comprehension, reading, speaking, and writing English.
Moreover, participants must be able to attend both the Fall
workshop and Spring study tour, which will both be conducted in
English :
Fall 1996 Oct. 27 - Nov. 1, 1996
Spring 1997 Apr. 28 - May 2, 1997 (tentative)
Selection Criteria:
1. Enter the program with prior knowledge of market-based econom-
ics. It is preferred that participants have participated in at
least one NCEE-sponsored training workshop.
2. Commit to extensive work on the development and revision of
three lessons in economics for the elementary or secondary
level, using an active-learning approach.
3. Be strong in oral comprehension, reading, speaking and writing
English.
4. Be able to attend both the Fall workshop and Spring study
tour.
5. Have access to a computer which can be connected to Internet
to communicate with U.S. faculty via e-mail.
6. Have strong relationships with teachers so that developed
lessons can be field tested.
7. Respect copyright laws that govern distribution of materials
that will be given to program participants.
To request an application form, please contact Patricia Elder,
Vice President, International President, International Programs,
NCEE.

Dear Subscribers:
Although job/internship information is not considered a primary area of
interest to the LINKIT discussion group, I thought we'd make an exception
in the case of the message below since it seeks information for a
guidebook that could, directly or indirectly, advance the goal of
NIS/U.S. educational development/reforrm. Good luck, Paul.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I am putting together a guide to finding internships in Central and
Eastern Europe and
the FSU on behalf of Oxford University's Russian and East European
Studies Department.
The guide will be available on the WWW and in hard copy. The most
valuable sort of
information that can go into such a guide comes from personal testimony,
so I am hoping
to hear from:
(a) individuals with experience in locating internships, including
method(s) of contact,
type of internship (paid/unpaid, duties, etc.), how many you applied for
and how long it
took, and any other particulars;
(b) individuals, organizations, or companies who currently offer or would
like to offer
internships. Please specify particulars and, at the very least, all
available contact
data (address, phone, fax, e-mail). If you are now or have previously
employed
interns, any information you could provide as to what you look for in
applicants and
what makes a candidate stand out would be greatly appreciated.
All respondents will be referenced on request. Please indicate if you'd
be willing to
have your contact information made available in the guide (if no
indication is given, I
will not provide e-mail addresses). I am also looking for information on
chambers of
commerce or similar bodies. Thanks for your time.

information on all of CCI's programs (including the Agricultural
Initiative) and forms to request more information from us if you're

In addition, for the (probably) small number of you that can use Cyrillic
(Russian) fonts while browsing the Web, I have created a Russian-language
portion of the site that contains a couple of agricultural extension
publications. (I'm working on getting some more posted.) They're available
in Macintosh, DOS, Windows and UNIX formats.
If you have Russian-language agricultural publications you would like to
post on the Web, either on our site or yours, just drop me a note and I can
give you some pointers. In my humble opinion, the Web is a great way for
all of us to exchange useful translations and avoid duplication of effort.

Hello --
I would like to call your attention to a World Wide Web site for the
University of Georgia - Uzhgorod State University Institutional
Partnership Project located at:
http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Divisions/grs/ukr/ (note that the word
"Divisions" must be capitalized and the other words must be lower
case).
This web site was created to provide information about the
joint project designed to create in Uzhgorod, Ukraine, the Center
for Public Administration Reform and Assistance as a university-based
source of high-quality, low-cost training, technical assistance, and
advice for local governments and regional agencies in the
Transcarpathian Region.
Among the potentially useful parts of the site are (1) case studies
in English and Ukrainian developed for training in public
administration and public policy, and (2) syllabi in English and
Ukrainian for training courses provided in Uzhgorod.
Also, the site has a description of the project, some quarterly
reports, and information on Uzhgorod State University. We will be
adding the project newsletters and other materials in coming weeks.
As usual with WWW sites, this one is a work in progress.
All Ukrainian materials on the site should be readable with the
CP1251 font. Thus, to read these materials all you need to do in
Netscape is change the font to CP1251 (assuming you have this font;
if you don't, it is available on-line from several different

Please let us know if you have comments and suggestions concerning

Is there a way you can help these children? For

THE WORLD BANK'S TECHNET: THINK TANK ELECTRONIC CONFERENCES
This message has been cross posted to multiple discussion lists
and news groups. We apologize to readers who have seen it more than
once. Feel free to cross post this message to RELEVANT lists.
It is with pleasure that we invite you to participate in the World
Bank's TechNet Third Think Tank Electronic Conference. This think tank
discussion addresses the topic of Philanthropic Foundations and Their
Role in Developing Countries. The World Bank Group and the Foundation
Community are working together with a view to enhance the effectiveness
of their effort in support of Science and Technology (S&T) for
Development. TechNet is the focal point for this collaboration. The
electronic conference on this topic is a joint effort of the Carnegie
Foundation and the World Bank group. The objective of this conference
is to explore the potential for a stronger relationship between the
World Bank and the foundations in the area of science and technology
(S&T) and on means to improve the effectiveness of donors in building
S&T capacity in developing nations.
It will start September 9 and is scheduled to close on October 9, 1996.
This conference and subsequent ones are being conducted by the
World Bank in cooperation with the Volunteers in Technical Assistance
(VITA). TechNet will be hosting a series of seven separate Think Tanks
over the next twelve months on subjects related to science, technology
and information in development.
HOW IT WORKS
A Think Tank is a conference discussion that is conducted
entirely through electronic means. Approximately 20-30 experts from
the foundations, government, private sector, academia, NGOs, international
organizations and the World Bank will discuss each topic for a period
of four weeks. The discussion will be "broadcast only" to
subscribers, but readers are encouraged to comment and to pose questions.

Foundations, you may subscribe by visiting the TechNet Web site:
