"Politics and Youth Culture" local initiatives start-up

The portuguese group responsible for the participation in "Politics and Youth Culture" project (Marisa, Marta, Tiago & friends) organized a start-up dinner to gather the first participants and to prepare their first local initiatives concerning this project.
These first events will consist of visits to places where youngsters will have a first contact with Europe reallity. The aim of this group is to put youngsters in the less expected scenarios to take contact with the E.U. reallity. The first contacts have been made and we will continue searching youngsters with less opportunities or less access to information and will bring to them something about Europe so they can be aware of Europe matters in a funny and interesting way.
The first visits are being arranged, and they will take part in the next weeks. The organizers are making weekly meetings in order to ensure that the local initiatives will be successfull. We are also trying to call as much volunteers/participants as possible so we can reach as much youngsters as we can to spraid the "Politics and Youth Culture" project
Stay tunned, we will report you soon from Portugal. . .
