The meeting was opened by Ms. Antje Rothemund, director of the EYCB and host of the event, welcoming words were also given by the Ms. Kathrin Groth on the behalf of the ESG.
Following a round of presentation, the Campaign director presented the "state of play" of the Campaign (see attached powerpoint presentation). Particular emphasis was given to the introduction of the action weeks, scheduled weeks of the year where the Campaign secretariat will tackle specific issues, also organising media-friendly events in various countries.
Mr. Dennis van der Veur, from OSCE, also gave a presentation (see attachment) aimed to underline how the work of the ODIHR (Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights) is substantially in line with the work of the CoE and with the aims of the Campaign, and therefore opening to the possibility to establish a strategic co-operation within the "all different - all equal" framework.
