Lets Get Started Network

Dear friends,

If we can have 5 minutes of your time, we’d like to share with you a campaign that was started at the “Breaking Through – Youth in the World of New Media” Training in Czech Republic, last week, organized by NO LABEL PROJECT. This campaign is about security online, discrimination, how to behave online, copyright, etc.

Here you can find a link to the whole campaign.

Dear LGS member/visitor,

Let’s Get Started this past week has attended the ‘EVS we can’ Contact Making Seminar in Verona, Italy which informed young people and youth workers about the European Voluntary Service also known as Action 2 and helped them build a partnership between each other to implement future EVS projects. This CMS also informed the participants about the process of accreditation that includes sending & hosting volunteers and also coordinate evs projects. We had the chance to see how a long term activity was implemented and also the outcome of it. At the end of the seminar the participants came up with four projects that may be perfected and implemented in the near future.

If you want to have more information about the European Voluntary Service and volunteering in general than contact me at olsicelaj@letsgetstartedalbania.org, and also if you want to be a volunteer don’t hesitate. It will be an amazing life changing experience!

Young journalists, photographers and videographers are invited to compete for eight prizes in the ‘Europe is More Than You Think’ Award 2009, organised jointly by the Council of Europe and the European Youth Press, the network of young media-creators.
