Dear locals,
let me present you a special competition on EU development, integration and
European identity issues, through which you can win up to €5,000 :)
And how can your local compete? Simply - all you need to do is organize a
project (= event, youth exchange or an internet project), and apply it until
8 February 2008.
More info can be found at: http://www.e-adagio.eu/CYP/CYPintro_en.html

The 'European Charlemagne Youth Prize' is awarded to projects, which
* promote the European and international understanding,
* foster the development of a shared sense of European identity and
integration,
* serve as a role model for young people living in Europe and offer
practical examples of Europeans living together as one community.
The projects can focus on the organisation of various youth events, youth
exchanges or internet projects with a European dimension.
* Application deadline is 08.02.2008* (so in less than one month)!
*Requirements:*

- *The participants must be citizens or residents of one of the 27 member
states of the European Union.*

The winner or the European Charlemagne Youth Prize will be selected in
two-step process:

Parliament (MEPs) and one representative of youth organizations will select
one national winner from each of 27 Member States

European Parliament, four representatives of the Foundation of the
International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen will select the winner from the 27

Representatives of the 27 national projects selected will be invited to the
