Dear friends, colleagues, fans and mates!

The team of Eurobus project coordinators with a slightly sad note informs you that this year, despite intense requests from small Ukrainian towns and villages, the international Eurobus project will not go though its traditional spring route in Ukraine and Poland.

We are currently in search of new exciting ideas and approaches to implementing the prokect. But the main point is that we’re in search of interesting and energetic organizers you can become.

In case you have ideas, offers and wishes about the implementation of the “Eurobus” project in further — we welcome you to contact us. Our post boxes, phone numbers, other details and “web-mebs” can be found in the “Contacts” section.

Positive moments:

Already on April 27-28 in Lviv the heads of International services in local branches will go through a serious training section on organizing international projects. And we should note, that we think of this training with our “Europe Inside” (May, 2012) sessions in mind.

We are open to your offers regarding mentor visits and expert consulting related to Europe integration processes, international youth projects, activating local communities, human rights, organization and project management, etc. That’s why all we can do by now is just wait for your invitations to visit you again. And of course we invite you to visit various educational events organized by FRI: FRI schools, media schools, barcamps, etc.

Right now young activists can join FRI and build their own local branch of the coolest youth NGO in the whole Ukraine. That will help your develop your own Eurobus-level projects, and travel through Ukraine and the whole world.

The final bonus: now we have a discount card for Eurobus on Ukrainian roads. It was given to us by the local road management department of Chernomorsk (the Crimea). Of course, it’s not a trip to Rio-de-Janeiro, but it’s quite ok for the first time!

Stay tuned!

With a wish of warm and intense spring,
your Sazhyns, Bevzas, Vlasenkos, Ohovichs, Yurkovskis and Shyhimahas

The amazing “Eurobus-5” project has ended, and now we have a lot of nice memories, photos and contacts. International projects usually have sad “Good-Byes” – you hug a new friend, and understand that you won’t see him or her never again. But not every person can agree for this. So, we couldn’t either — me and Aurelija, a participant from Lithuania. Our friendship didn’t want to break forever after passing two weeks in one bus, making several common trainings and chatting for dozens of hours. Aura invited me to visit her to show the incredible beauty of her motherland — the amazing and unknown for me country in Baltics.

They say, life is an interesting book, and those who don’t travel know only one page of it.

The first time we met all local coordinators, their teams and active youth was during our entry training trips. So, Kolia Bevza grabbed his backpacks, took a break in the university, and started his way to Dnipropetrovs’k region. To be more precise – to Pereshchepyne.
