News
InTouch returns!
A few months ago we had to decide to cancel the introductionary seminar InTouch because of lack of participants. This seminar is ment for young European naturefriends who would like to get involved in the international level. During 5 days the participants get more information about the naturefriends movement in general and IYNF in specific. They get information and tools to start organising projects, contacts to other groups and can also present their own member organisation or local group. We just heard the great news that InTouch can be postponed till the end of the year. The new dates will be from 3d till the 8th of November in Germany. To make InTouch a succes we need the cooperation of our members and partners to bring up participants that are interested in the international level, but don\\\\\\\'t know how and where to start. Soon we will start preparing the seminar and will give you more information. We stay InTouch!
EVS not selected
Last monday we heard that the EVS project of IYNF is not selected. The most of the money went to group EVS. Of course the selected volunteers Anna and Vanessa as well as everybody in the office was highly dissapointed. Still we are working on a solution to make sure that we will have two new EVS volunteers in the office from September on. We keep you informed.
Tube and Calendar small delay
Because of other priorities Tube and Calendar will have a small delay. We would like to send something with high quality and not just because we have to. We appologize for the unconvenience.
