Dear Network,
The European Planning Meeting in Leiden is one week away! While we are busy
making sure that there will be some great discussions on the topic of the
refugee crisis, and that we will be well-prepared for the drafting of a
successful Action Agenda, we are bringing you once again the latest news of
the organisation.
How about being a diplomat for a week? Or maybe you would prefer to
organise activities under the topics of human rights or sustainability? Let
me see... maybe you would like to be involved in something big, something
like organising an Agora with over a thousand people. Then, keep reading!
We hope you enjoy the reading, and looking forward to seeing you somewhere
in Europe!
Europeanly yours,
*the Comité Directeur 2015-2016*
Aleksandra, Ander, Anna, Maryana, Pablo, Réka & Svenja

IT for Civic Education Citizens’ Initiative
