The programme consisted of screening movies, discussions with authors and invited guests - professionaly connected with the cinema industry.

:: Design and Disability::
AEGEE-Delft together with The BRIDGE project team is organising this conference about Architectural and Mental barriers. What are the obstacles for a person carrying a disability when it comes to mobility? And not only the physical and tachnical ones, but also limits connected to mentality and to a psychological point of view. The conference will also give a concrete example of a reality were these kind of obstacles have been successfully passed:
The Bridge Project addresses the mobility and integration of young people with physical disabilities in the work of NGOs not directly dealing with disability issues. Its main aim is to enable these people to participate in the development of civil society by joining events and other activities, through better practical support, improved perceptions of the role of young disabled people in society, and greater awareness of their needs.

Aiming to go beyond national politics and media, every week café babel offers its readers critical analysis of European current affairs on the internet in six different languages.
The challenge: to create a multilingual European magazine on current affairs designed for readers across borders, analysing the political and intellectual evolution of the continent. A platform for Europe's civil society, café babel is the place where the voices and cultures of the entire European continent are heard. It is the only media in Europe whose authors write in their mother tongue: German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, and Catalan since the 17th of May 2004.
