Project supported by the Polish-German Youth Office
"One Christmas Eve – the three culture"
Swiatyj Weczir, der Heilige Abend, Wigilia, these are concepts which, in three languages, Polish, German and Ukrainian are the same and are an inseparable part of Christmas.
Prosfora, Christmas goose, carp, Wareniki, beetroot soup, wafer. What is a typical Christmas in Germany, Poland and Ukraine? What habits are nurtured in these three countries? What are the carols songs at Christmas?
During the workshops, cooking and making Christmas ornaments youth participants from Lutsk, Merseburg, and Lublin on 16.12-21.12 in the European Youth Meeting in Nasutowie will seek answers to these and some other questions about Christmas traditions.

What kind of leader ought to lead the European Union?
Community Media Centre
Do the citizens of the European Union want a charismatic leader or a loyal co-ordinator? Young Europans debated in Berlin. The topic of the debate has been connected with the nomination of Herman Van Rompuy a new leader of the European Council.
It is no secret that the European Union needs more reasons (beyond institutional apparatchic) to glue it together. Economics alone won´t do it! Without the benefit of a shared historical symbol (Europe is widely known to be an extremely varied group of nations) integration becomes pretty tricky. Getting a sample of European youths together for a common aim might be a good start. This project ´The Voice of Europe (European Citizens programme) is a training programme with a very clear set of objectives. The organisers, European Youth4Media Network, an umbrella organisaiton with a network in over 23 countries, conceived of the need of getting youths together to be trained in using Crossmedia both as a tool for helping citizens voice thier opinions more broadly and efficiently, and also to give them the opportunity to express thier creativity using digital media with a focus on political debating, pariticpation, and engament.
