Cross-border cooperation is vital for stability, growth and development
in Europe. Current obstacles to East-West cooperation, stretching
geographically from the Barents Sea in the North to the Black Sea in
the South, hinder human contacts, curb economic development,restrain political relations, and create new dividing lines.
Having identified key challenges in current cross-border cooperation in
Europe, among which are visa regulations; inefficient border crossing
procedures; complicated and conflicting legislation; lack of accurate
information and data; corruption; insufficient border crossing
infrastructure; lack of political engagement and support; trade
restrictions and excessive bureaucracy, there is the need to;
Develop coordination information mechanisms which include
sophisticated monitoring and analysis tools;
Encourage entrepreneurship, especially the development of
SMEs, tourism, culture and cross-border trade;
Improve joint management of natural resources;
Support links between urban and rural areas;
Improve access to transport and communication networks;
Develop joint use of infrastructure;
Create administrative, employmentandequal opportunities work.
Ternopil, being one of the cities located close to the border and
Ukraine at large will benefit more from Cross border cooperation with
other European Countries be it in infrastructure, to markets and
services (linking universities to business to clients) or to cultural or
linguistic benefits.
Other advantages of Cross-Border Cooperation are to bridge the lack
of information on ones neighbours, their communities, mentality and
culture. They also facilitate the identification of development problems
in partner regions, thus eliminating prejudice and fears.

methodology of interactive games. The main idea behind team-building is to create a team of people who could then be able to reachconsensus on issues that are being discussed, feel comfortable in
diverse group settings during the committee work. All delegates aredivided into committees headed by the Chairperson whose function isto control working process and provide delegates with any help.Teambuilding includes a wide range of indoors and outdoors activities(communication, problem-solving, decision-making, trusting and otherengrossing exercises) designed for getting to know each other,improving communication skills, teaching the team self-regulationstrategies, ensure the ability to work closely together as a team.
B. Committee Work
Committee work is the majorpart of all EYP sessions. Itbegins after the team buildingwhen delegates get together todiscuss key issues of theircommittee topics. The objectivepoint of such work is resolution
writing after a fruitful andenergetic discussion. Eachdelegate takes an active part inthe committee work putting all
his enthusiasm, energy, knowledge and aspiration into theimplementation of all conceived plans. The resolutions adopted by allmembers of the team and represent a formal expression of the officialopinion or will of the delegates. This procedure is impossible withoutan experienced Chairperson, who coordinates and supports delegatesactions, ensures that everyone can be involved in decision-making
process.
