Here comes new Courier with fresh information. We hope that after reading it, you will feel encouraged to take part in one of our new activities or contests. The office team in Prague is now working on finalizing grant applications and collecting partnership agreements from our member organisations, which will take part in IYNF activities this year. As this is really a busy time, we try to share all bigger tasks and help each other as much as possible, for example – writing Courier together.
Enjoy the rest of a week,
Vanessa and Anna

Important update! Green Workshops – new dates!
The green year of IYNF has just started and we would like to invite you to take part in one of our two Spring activites: The Green Workshops. The first of them about GetGreen Campaigning will be from 20 – 25 April in connection with our General Assembly in Eben am Achensee (Austria). The second one called Green Games will be only one month later from 18 – 23 May in Germany. You can apply for both but also only for one of them. The complete description of the project and the call for participants is now online.
Don’t store it – share it!
In order to make our offers, activities, printed texts and website more attractive we add as much pictures as possible; we create posters and leaflets or update albums on Facebook. Therefore, we would like to encourage you to use the opportunities, which are given by the digital photography. It is a great chance to do it creatively and for some purpose in the same time. We want to capture the smiles, great ideas and people that come to our activities. And to have the best photos from all of you photographers, we want you to join our photo contest, so that we have visual material for further use
in our media. For more information, please visit our website.

After a long search for a good and fitting venue for the next Networking Conference and General Assembly, we are happy to announce that we found a perfect venue in beautiful Tirol in Austria. The youth hostel that will only be ours for these days is located in Eben only 2km away from the lake Achensee, which is known as the biggest leisure lake in Austria. The surroundings with marvelous mountains invite to a great time with IYNF!

Tube with the attachment
The fourth edition of Tube is now being printed somewhere close to Prague. Next week we will send it out, so most of you should get it before the end of January. This time in the envelope, together with our newsletter, you will receive a special green leaflet. There is an overview of all the activities we are organizing this year. So stick it to your walls, poster spaces and spread the news among your friends. In case you would need it, you can also downloadthe activity leaflet.
Landscape of the Year 2010/2011
Another edition of a “very naturefriend” project organised by NFI has already started. This time the honored name of Landscape of the Year is given to Slovak Karst – Aggtelek Karst. This certainly belongs to one of “must-see” places and views, but first of all some action must be taken to preserve those precious spots. And that is why the award is given every year to a different place. If you want to know more about the event and chosen landscape, read an article on our website.
