>
> Maybe someone knows about some other significant research or topic???

> 4/ Transportation issue:
>
> Currently we have people interested in arranging busses going from 
> South (Slovenia), West (France), and from North (so far only from 
> Poland; which is too close to fill a bus);
>
> Anyone from further North, South and East???

> 5/  Partners in fund raising:
>
> Good news; 7 people is interested in being partners in a 'Youth in 
> Action' program for a 2 day seminar which we could arrange within the 
> ESBG, and this way help secure some funding, to make the ESBG cheaper 
> for all, and in particular to give some scholarships.

> Not so good news: Before it's worth doing, we would need more people 
> who at times work in the field of 'Youth Educator' to sign up as a 
> partner for such an application; so we need about 25 more. All it 
> takes is a one page partnership form to be posted to us before January 
> 24 th. Contact us on esbgteam at gmail... <mailto:esbgteam at gmail...>
