Report :

1. Excellent selection of the participants, which made the seminar lively, enthusiastic and very active throughout all of the sessions.

2. Trainers were more than excellent (Setephen Melnik, and Rudolph Jurgen), which maximized the benefit of all the events.

3. Organization of the agenda was optimum, which allowed the coverage of all the aspects of the seminar as stated in the agenda, despite the fact that it was a busy one.

4. The distinct management of the Gumersbach institution under the leadership of Birgit Lamm allowed for facilitating the success of all events.

5. The excellent performance of the professional interpreters made it possible to pursue active communication throughout the events of the seminar, and even during the external visits in Colon and Dresden.

6. The content of the seminar, the working groups, the debates, the hearing sessions, and the presentations were more than excellent in terms of organization and the unusual technique.

7. The program was flexible; however, all aspects were covered in a way that did not make us feel pressed for time. In fact the representative from Egypt was given the opportunity to give a session on university level examination, and the urgent need to change the system of exams, as well as using new methods for educational evaluation.

8. All of the external visits served the objectives of the seminar and supported all the liberal ideas related to all levels of education (pre-school, elementary, primary, secondary, vocational, and university). Therefore, the visit to the kindergarten as well as the school in Dresden was very effective. It was also useful to visit the vocational training section in Jun Optick and to meet the spokesperson of the Education Committee for the State of Saxony.

9. One cannot forget the real liberal atmosphere that ruled throughout all the activities of the seminar, which imbued the principles with actions and practice, taking them beyond mere slogans.

10. The applied nature of the seminar made us leave Germany to our countries armed with alternatives, methods, and modern techniques to deploy them in education, training, and dialogue and discussion management, communications, and evaluations. All of the aforementioned, I believe, are prerequisites for development and civilization from a liberal perspective that respects the mind and the intellect without denying the other. This spirit helped networking among the participants of the seminar, although the event has been over more than a week ago.

One last word, I would like to say, that FNST, and out of an experience that extended for more than ten years, is indeed pursuing support of liberal ideas using the shortest and the most effective means. This makes us keen to attend such seminars for personal reasons and in our capacity as young leaders cherishing the homeland and eager to develop it within a framework that combines both the uniqueness of the land with the richness of the experiences of the others.
