Media Coverage
[inline:1=Poster of the Greek Campaign]Great news from the south of Europe.!!
Campaign is finally launching in Greece! Better late, than never as we say here. The National Youth Council who is doing the National Coordination, has the honour to invite all the NGO's and persons that want to get involved in the Campaign for a first meeting to get to know each other.
The first meeting will be help in the headquarters of General's Secretariat for Youth, in Aharnon str. 417. We will present the Campaign, say what we will coordinate and then the floor will be all yours! We are waiting for comments, ideas, projects, best and worst practices, complaints and great motivation. Just bring yourself and lets make this day, the first day of a big chance in our country and in our lives!
So prepare yourself, because the D-day is Saturday the 27 of January (time will be announced shortly).
For the media and the journalists will also be an info day, which is Wednesday 31 of January in the centre of Athens. We will try to impress them so they will present our campaign in the best way, and they will advertise all our activities!!! It will also be the days where the first ambassadors of the Campaign will appear. We are expecting many artists and athletes to be there and say a few words.
The campaign in Greece will last till the end of 2007. The motivation is currently quite high and we will make sure that it will be like that, till the end!!
Stay tuned!!!!
