Welcome to YC2001 Belarus, Gradno, Belarus
This will be the third year for YouthCaN Belarus this year's conference will be held in late April.

The themes for YC2001 Belarus were Biodiversity and Global Ecological Issues. Under the catagory of biodiversity there are the following special categories:

Birds spending winter around Grodno
Amphibians of Grodno Area

Because interest in YouthcaN Belarus is growing so much there will be two conference sites this year, one for each theme area: Biodiversity and Global Ecological Issues. One site will be the District Youth Centre and the other will be the Gymnasium #30 Grodno.

In YC5 are the adult facilitators of all the workshops and Principal Makarova ( centre, in white). One of them is me (the tired one on the right :-) The one with a grey beard is Assistant Professor of the Grodno University. The one with a black moustache --the least tired of us all :-)-- is our sponsor.
