Deadline: 2009/10/25
SIIGA is trying to position itself at universities in the Balkan countries and is currently recruiting student volunteers from the region to assist in our work. New staff members will work together with current members to promote and develop SIIGA's mission throughout the 2009/2010 academic year.

Interested students are encouraged to send a CV and a short motivation letter (not more than 2 paragraphs) to members@siiga.org. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted within 2 weeks.

SIIGA is an international, non-partisan, not-for-profit student think tank devoted to bringing young people's policy ideas to the policy process. The driving force of SIIGA are students from diverse academic backgrounds at universities in the Balkans who are interested in current global issues of political, economic and humanitarian character. Working to advance youth empowerment, SIIGA is a medium for young people from the Balkans and beyond to voice and share their views on foreign policy matters, to engage in
provocative debates with peers, and to make their ideas known to policy makers in the region.

SIIGA is dedicated to contributing to a comprehensive insight into the world of international and global affairs. To comply with this vision, SIIGA provides its members with access to an online database of global political, economic and social news and analyses. A central pillar of SIIGA's work is the publishing of an online annual journal on foreign policy issues that
compiles shortpapers by students and is distributed to academic institutions, non-governmental organizations and political bodies in the region. Our hope is to place the focus outside the Balkans, to increase interest in global issues, to promote greater communication between the youth in the region, to engage students in academic debates, to stimulate young people's creativity, and to give their ideas a voice.

Inspired by students, SIIGA works for students. Young people deserve to be given more opportunities to learn and to have a say so that they could make full use of their true abilities and potential. SIIGA understands those demands and serves both as a source of information and a forum for discussion in order to meet them.
