You(th) can make the Europe of Tomorrow!
2009 is the year of European Elections and MIJARC Europe couldn't lose this opportunity to make the voice of rural youth to be heard!
A flyer specially designed for the local groups of KLJ Belgium, KLJB Germany, MRJC France, MJRC Spain, JARC Portugal, EiR Poland and CSF Bulgaria was prepared and translated in 8 languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Flemish, Polish, and Bulgarian), being disseminated to 130.000 rural youngsters in 7 countries of Europe.
This flyer aims at:
> informing local groups about the European elections and inviting them to go to vote;
> inviting local groups to send postcards to the candidates in the elections to present our 5 proposals for Europe;
> inviting them to act locally by organizing meetings with MEPs, candidates in the European elections, public debates with local population, etc
