The first snow turned Prague into a wonderful white winter dream… everybody is happily waiting for Christmas now, and also in our office this feeling and atmosphere is present. This will also be the last courier of this year – the first one of 2010 will come on the 7th of January.
We have good news about approved grants and hope that the new year will start as well with many approvals!
We from the IYNF office in Prague wish you nice, silent Christmas Days and are looking forward to hear from each other in 2010!
With best wishes,
Vanessa

Activities and offers
Last chance to register as a partner of Teencamp Cultural fusion
Last week we presented to you our first networking program activity, which is the teen camp; Cultural Fusion. It will take place in the Netherlands from 14 until 21 August 2010. Member and partner organisations from Poland, Lithuania, Germany and Czech Republic showed their interest, but the more partners, the better! If your organisation is looking for a project to join in the summer of 2010 and if you work with youngsters in the age 13-16, then our proposal should sound as a great opportunity. Once again we encourage to have a look at the project description and inform the contact person if you want to become a partner.
If you are interested in Networking programme in IYNF in general please register for the IYNF Networking portal.

IYNF Christmas Dinner
On Tuesday the whole staff spent a really nice evening together to finish this successful IYNF year in a more unformal way. We met first at a very nice vegetarian restaurant here in Prague and continued our evening then in a nice Karaoke Bar!
Office hard to reach
Because of Christmas, New Year and the moving of the IYNF office it might be hard to reach us by email or phone. This will mainly be between the 24th of December and the 4th of January.
We hope to have everything operational again as soon as possible. For more information read the announcements on our website.
