Opening of the meeting and opening interventions The Director of Youth and Sport, Rene Weingaertner welcomed the participants and the panel. He pointed to the importance of the growing network of Campaign Committees and highlighted the role of all the national, regional, local level and grassroots movements, youth NGOs etc., which are the main actors of the Campaign. He also stressed the significance of the partners of the Campaign such as the European Youth Forum and the European Commission. He particularly welcomed the Swedish State Secretary, Ms Agneta Karlsson who kindly agreed to officially open the meeting. The State Secretary referred to the positive experiences being made during the last Campaign and wished the new Campaign as much success as the first. In her welcoming address the Director General of Education, Culture and Heritage, Youth and Sport (DGIV) Gabriela Battaini strengthened the point that the themes of the Campaign have always been given a great importance in the whole context of the Council’s work especially intercultural dialogue. And the Youth Centre has always given visibility to the Youth NGOs and the Directorate As the challenge of the Campaign nowadays she identified the fact that there are new frontiers within societies and the question is how to bring these different groups in society together. In his opening speech the representative of the European Commission Artur Payer, Youth Officer, stated that the Campaign is of utmost relevance for our societies and that social cohesion has become one of the centrepieces of the European Union and its Member States. He considered involvement at different levels as a precondition for commitment and participation. As two trends related to the issues of the Campaign he identified Europe’s strong need for immigration due to low birth rates and the strong wish of young people for a better participation in society. As the central documents of the EU in this field he recalled the Article 13 of the EC Treaty, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU, the Plan D for Democracy, Dialogue, Debate, the White Paper “A new impetus for European Youth” and the Commissions Communication “Making Citizenship Work” that defines diversity as a central element for all programmes in the field of Education and Culture. He informed that the Youth in Action Programme (2007-2013) which serves as a legal basis of the activities in the Youth field has been adopted. One of the objectives of the new Programme is to develop solidarity and promote tolerance among young people, in particular in order to reinforce social cohesion in the EU. The priorities of the Programme are cultural diversity, European citizenship and the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities. Project formats that could be used for the Campaign are Action 1.3: Youth Democracy projects, Action 4.3: Training, exchange and networking and Action 4.4: Calls for innovative projects. He then drew the attention to some of the political activities of the EU in the relevant fields such as the European Youth Pact, including a youth dimension in other policies or the European Year of equal opportunities for all in 2007. He concluded by expressing the wish that the Campaign shall strengthen and widen our networks, successfully link the local, regional, national and European level, reach new target groups and that the processes reflect the aims. 3 After the opening interventions the chair asked the participants to briefly introduce themselves according to the groups to which they belong and introduced the agenda of the meeting. 2.

It is organised in the Framework of the Chairmanship of the Russian Federation in the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe and the Campaign. It aims to gather around 400 young people and experts from all over Europe to discuss various issues around the themes of Diversity, Human Rights and Participation. There will be four panels with two workshops each: - Europe without dividing lines and Human Rights Education - Promotion of Social Cohesion and Cultural Diversity in Europe - Youth Participation and Experiencing Democracy - Innovation and Capacity Building of Young Generations in Europe Target groups are: • representatives of international, national and local youth organisations, active developing projects on the main themes of the Event; • representatives of the national Campaign committees in the Council of Europe member-states; • young political leaders; • state youth authorities; • Research community. Particular encouragement for young people from rural areas is of specific interest, as well as of minority youth, faith communities, ethnic identities etc. The event will be supported by: - Government of the Russian Federation - Council of Europe - European Commission For further information, please have a look at the documents online. The Budget of the Campaign for 2007 The Campaign manager Joachim Schild gave a short briefing on the budget. The budget for 2006 for European level activities is about 825.000 €, including a contribution of the Directorate for Youth and Sport in the amount of 265.000 €, of the European Youth Foundation of 247.000 €, the European Commission respectively the Partnership between the European Commission and the Council of Europe of 263.000 € and the Flemish Community of Belgium of 50.000 €. With this amount the Council of Europe is able to cover the costs of the secretariat to the Campaign (staff and administrative costs) and of the other management structures notably the European Steering Group meetings and the conferences of the National Campaign Committees. Also a minimum of European level events such as the launching, the convention of football fans, the upcoming diversity symposium, the youth event in St. Petersburg and the training of Campaign activists is financed by the Campaign budget as well as the production of educational material and all awareness raising activities like the web portal, the PR material etc. 5 It is obvious that still further voluntary contributions are needed in order to plan and to organise additional activities and to develop and to disseminate more material and gadgets. Especially for 2007 the budget is still in deficit and this is why the secretariat urgently needs further commitments of Member States and other potential donors. The Council of Europe Young Active Citizenship Award Andre-Jacques Dodin presented the Young Citizenship Award. For the fifth time, the Council of Europe is organizing the “Young Active Citizens” Award with a view to promoting active participation of young people in society by rewarding outstanding/ innovative projects/actions in this respect. The competition is open to Non-governmental youth organisations and networks, as well as any other structures involved in youth work. This year the Award will be given to actions or projects which are directly and explicitly contributing to the “All different–All equal” Campaign. The projects should deal with the following issues: - Overcoming discrimination and promoting diversity - Inter-religious and intercultural dialogue - Participation, democracy and good governance - Human Rights The NCCs are kindly asked to launch the process of advertising and promoting the Award in co-operation with the public authorities, national youth council or other similar umbrella structures in your country. Five projects/actions will be rewarded with an amount of 1000 € and a diploma. The deadline for applications is 15 July 2007. It is planned to hold the award ceremony in the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, most likely in September 2007 during the closing event of the Campaign. Fur further information; please have a look at the documents online. On the communication strategy Giulio Maistrelli presented the new design of the Campaign website. It has been updated and modernized to become more effective and attractive. Beside the traditional navigation menu the website offers special sections for different users such as: Young people who could join the Campaign (enjoy), People already actively involved in the Campaign (take action), Multipliers working with young people in different fields (working w/youth), People involved in policy-making in the youth field (policy-making) and Professionals working in different media (media). He stressed that the website aims to be the major communication tool for the NCC network and for the Campaign and therefore warmly invited all partners to publish on this web portal every idea, report, comment and event. He informed that the Council of Europe has signed a partnership with the Tour de France to promote the Campaign during the first days. Staff members will follow the tour and throw gadgets to the people. Bracelets in black and white with the Campaign logo have been produced for this purpose. 6 3.

The third one will be to promote the Campaign during the youth information Event "TEEVIIT" from the 30th November until the 2nd of December. A Campaign homepage with a special Campaign design is planned to be ready by 1st August, then the communication with the media and other organisations will be broadened. Finland Finnish NCC had its first meeting in February. The NCC consists of some 30 representatives of NGO's, youth organisations, youth researchers, educational institutions, different Ministries, local and regional authorities and media. The Finnish Youth co-operation – Allianssi is coordinating the Campaign. During the spring six training courses were organised on the themes of the Campaign as well as a seminar on how to run a youth Campaign and three training courses on the ‘living library’ method. These training courses were organised for multipliers and took place in different locations. The Campaign was also promoted in different youth and youth work activities and reached out to a broad public. The Campaign in Finland was launched in May 2006 in Helsinki at a World Village Festival with 60 000 visitors. The Campaign was presented in a big ADAE-tent where some twenty youth organisations organised various activities linked to the Campaign. The main attraction of the tent was the first Living Library ever organised in Finland (Photos on the web). During the summer a Campaign team promoted the Campaign at several big music festivals around Finland and tattooed young people. The temporary ADAEtattoos were very popular. An educational kit has been produced on ADAE-methods and distributed to Finnish children and youth organisations together with the ADAE-tattoos. The Campaign has been very visible in many camps and summer activities run by youth organisations. A Campaign website has been launched, which had a good resonance among teenagers in Finland. The Campaign has been covered by the media in several magazines and newspapers and a popular TV programme for youth in Finland took the Campaign as a theme for one of their shows. Also the national morning-TV broadcasted an interview on the Campaign. Many young people and their idols wear the Campaign t-shirts in their free time. Georgia The NGO Union "Century 21" from Tbilisi took the initiative to establish an NCC for Georgia. The NGO is working in the field of human rights protection since 1998. In cooperation with the authorities the preparation process for the Campaign has started and the launch is planned for September. 9 Germany The German NCC was established during a first networking event in May with 50 representatives of Youth organizations and NGOs. The NCC is composed of youth umbrella organizations, religious youth organizations, pupil’s representatives, human rights NGOs and government authorities. The Campaign is under the auspices of the German Minister for Family, Elderly people, Women and Youth. In one federal state a regional network has been created. The focus for 2006 is on the “Challenges of Diversity”. In a nation-wide competition young people are asked to submit “frames” related to the topic of diversity. A call for projects has just been launched on the website. 100 local projects dealing with Diversity, Participation and Human Rights will be funded. There are three major events planned with and for young people about the Campaign topics. The first one in October will take the European Charter on the Participation of Young People in Local and Regional Life as a starting point to foster the dialogue between young people and local authorities as well as representatives of the congress. Best practices of youth participation projects will be presented and the exchange between the young actors involved will be encouraged. Luxemburg The Campaign is coordinated by the National Youth Service in close partnership with the National Youth Council. The launch took place on the 26th of April with a press conference. Activities planned within the frame of the Campaign are Forums, 3 Symposia (one of them the European symposium on participation, democracy and good governance in Schengen), 2 Action weeks against discrimination, intolerance and racism. Additionally there are 50 educational projects linked to the Campaign through a mobile container unit. The mobile container is an educational activity focussing on the grounds of discrimination of the EU antidiscrimination guidelines. It consists of 3 modules: a photo exhibition on diversity organised by young people, a video voting on short films on discrimination and a portrait project called “1000 youngsters for diversity”.

Partnerships with two major cycling competitions have been set up. Moldova In July the NCC and the Centre for young journalists launched the Campaign supported by the Information Office of the Council of Europe and the Ministry for Education and Youth. Documents recently translated into Moldovan have been presented. A Campaign website has been launched and a film on the topic of the Campaign has been produced. Several promotional materials have been distributed such as posters and brochures. 10 Norway There will not be a single launch but many kick-off events around the country during summer, 20 different summer camps for youth were visited to introduce the Campaign through a 3 hour hidden theatre session. 4 to 5 regional events will be organized with youth participation as a focus. Young people are introduced to, and learn how to work with, the themes of the Campaign. The Norwegian NCC is also Co-organizer of the Norwegian youth week in October which includes a 3 day seminar with the “All Different – All Equal” themes. Together with the Nordic and Baltic countries a role play concept related to the Campaign themes will be developed for the Nordic Baltic Event in November. Young people wishing to create activities within the Campaign focus can apply for funds. Romania The National Campaign Committee of Romania was established in February 2006. Members of the NCC are representatives of the National Authority for Youth and of other governmental institutions (e.g. The Council of Europe Information Bureau in Romania, The Prime Minister Chancellery, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The National Council for Fighting Discrimination, etc.). NGOs of Romania were also invited to participate and one NGO representative is now a member of the Campaign Secretariat. The campaign launching event in Romania took place between May 7th-9th in Targu Mures, which is a multi-ethnical and multi-cultural city in Romania. There were over 70 participants in the event – members of the NCC, members of NGOs and representatives of ethnical minorities (Hungarian, Roma, Italian, Greek, Turkish, etc.). During this event it was agreed that minorities of all kind (racial, gender based, religious, disabled and handicapped persons, HIV infected persons, marginalized social groups, etc.) shall be the main target groups of the Campaign. In August 21st – 28th 2006, the National Authority for Youth in Romania organizes the “All Different, All Equal” summer school, within which information will be given on the Campaign, as well as seminars, workgroups related to the campaign will be offered. Russia The Russian National Campaign Committee was founded on 15 February 2006. It consists of more than 40 representatives of youth organisations, human rights organisations and Ministries (Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation and Ministry of Regional Development of the Russian Federation). The Committee has developed a plan of action which consists of more then 50 events devoted to the Campaign all over Russia. The Campaign "All Different - All Equal" was launched on 21 June 2006 in Moscow. About 10000 young people took part at the launching event. First there were presentations of best youth projects and awards to 2000 best graduates of schools and universities of Moscow. In the evening there was a concert of young artists devoted to the Campaign. The event gave a start to a motor rally of disabled young people who will travel all over Russia (from Moscow to Sakhalin) to spread the Campaign messages. The European Youth Event "All Different - All Equal" for Diversity, Human Rights and Participation will be held from 21 to 25 September 2006 in St. Petersburg. It will be held in the framework of the chairmanship of the Russian Federation in the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe and the “All Different – All Equal” European Youth Campaign for Diversity, Human Rights and Participation 2006 – 2007. It aims to gather around 400 experts 11 and participants from all over Europe to discuss various issues around the themes of Diversity, Human Rights and Participation. The European Youth Forum As the main partner in the Campaign, the European Youth Forum (YFJ) is involved in the preparation, organisation and implementation of the European level activities of the Campaign. Furthermore, and to contribute to the challenges of the Campaign in linking diversity, human rights and youth participation, the YFJ is developing a political agenda for more diversity and equality in democratic systems, from civil society to governmental levels -looking into the frameworks that would need to be established and the commitments that would need to be taken to ensure the involvement of all, at all levels. “Democratising” diversity is a key challenge in our societies, as it implies the genuine translation of the values of equality and solidarity into our democratic systems: values that politicians usually promote but that legislations far too often neglect. This dimension of the Campaign therefore constitutes the political and institutional dimensions of some of the key facets of the mission and values of the YFJ: participation, equality, inclusion and access. To achieve this goal, the YFJ will develop a Code of Conduct for the inclusiveness of youth organisations, as well as a political manifesto, defining a framework to ensure that diversity in Europe and in all European societies takes root in the different “systems” on which democracies are and should be based. The SALTO Diversity Resource Centre The Centre is promoting the campaign among the National Agencies of the YOUTH programme to encourage the link between a possible source of funding on the one hand and to encourage the adoption of the campaign ideals on the other. As a Resource Centre, we are also directly organising activities around the priorities of the campaign, and therefore under the banner of ‘Diversity-Participation-Human Rights’. We are holding a seminar and will create a publication about effective and sensitive intercultural communication in September 2006. We are also supporting a Peer Education training for young trainers in Diversity projects this autumn. From January next year there will be a new refreshed approach with other activities that link directly to the themes of the campaign – yet to be defined. The Forum of European Roma Young People - FERYP In 2005 the Forum of European Roma Young People – FERYP celebrated the 10 anniversary of the RAXI campaign. In the framework of the new European Youth Campaign for Diversity, Human Rights and Participation, FERYP is organising the following activities: A Conference called “Romaphobia and Anti-Gypsyism – old phenomenons and new challenges in Europe”, in co-operation with the Roma and Migration Department of the Council of Europe, from 17 to 22 November 2006 in Strasbourg. The call for applicants will be available on the 1st September 2006, a Study session “Campaigning for Roma Rights and Equality of Opportunities” – to inform and review the possibilities for involvement of the Young Roma and the member organisations of FERYP in the “All different, all equal” and the “DOSTA” Campaigns. The activity will take place from 21-28 January 2007 in the European Youth Centre in Strasbourg. FERYP is open for co-operation with the NCCS and other actors interested in the themes of the Campaign. 12 UNITED UNITED for Intercultural Action as the largest pan-European network against racism, nationalism, fascism, and in support of migrants and refugees counts today more than 550 organizations in 45 countries. UNITED maintains an elaborated information flow system which uses all the channels (e-mail, e-mail, fax or telephone) and reaches out to 6800 contacts. This tool can be used for a wide distribution of Campaign information and materials, to ensure visibility and boost participation within the Campaign. UNITED also regularly publishes the “Address Book against Racism” which maintains a database of 8000 contacts and is regularly updated. A calendar of activities concerning interculturalism, anti-racism, anti-nationalism, anti-fascism, minorities, support of migrants and refugees and human rights is also available on the website and mailed in printed version on a regular basis. Youth Express Network / Réseau Express Jeunes YEN operates as an informal network being active in the field of youth work and in particular in the area of social exclusion. Within the framework of the Campaign YEN organises a series of international activities called “From exclusion to integration” such as a seminar for youth workers on social rights as human rights in Romania (June), two training courses for youth leaders on the issue of the participation of young women in society and how to fight their discrimination in Croatia and Bulgaria (September) and a peer education training course against racism, intolerance, Islamophobia and Anti Semitism in Spain (October). For 2007 a seminar on how to act against racism and social exclusion in Italy is foreseen. Thursday, 29th June European Year of Citizenship through Education The Group held an exchange of views with a representative of the Secretariat of the European Year of Citizenship through Education, Ms Yulia Pererva, who presented a Message of support for the Campaign (document DGIV/EDU/CAHCIT(2006)20) adopted by the Ad hoc Committee of Experts for the “European Year of Citizenship through Education” (CAHCIT), as well as the proposals for follow-up through possible joint activities. She pointed out that there was a clear synergy between the aims of the “Year” and those of the Campaign: both initiatives seek to promote Council of Europe’s core values, particularly in the field of formal and non-formal education. It was important to recognise these links and to make use of the synergy between the two initiatives, for example possible actions could include: information sharing at European and national levels; dissemination of information through newsletters and links to each other websites, as well as contribution to each other’s activities through experts and joint activities. Practically, the Council of Europe network of EDC coordinators could contribute to the promotion of the Campaign in the formal education sector; the NCCs could do the same with the results of the “Year”. The following activities could present the occasion for joint action: an NGOs Forum on Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education, the EDC coordinators’ meeting in Brussels (20-22 November 2006), a European workshop on democratic governance in educational institutions and a number of research seminars organised in the framework of the campaign. For further information on EDC please have a look at their website. 13 Reports of the working groups 1.

Added value of a NCC network - sharing information on the organisation of Campaign projects all around Europe - sharing information on the impact of those events and projects and how it was achieved - sharing information on fundraising - motivating young people to be active, by seeing what other organisations do - cooperating in the organisation of projects - making joint applications to European youth programmes - promoting diversity - ensuring diversity by inviting participants from different countries and different NGOs - ensuring the development of networks by inviting participants from different countries and different NGOs - attracting more media coverage by giving international dimension to national projects - sharing ideas for Campaign material Main obstacle to the existence of such a network until now: the lack of use of the Campaign website. 2. Tools/means to create this network and to improve the cooperation between NCCs Email list? NO! The group discussed the idea of creating a Campaign email group, but it was felt by most participants not to be appropriate and efficient, as too much information would be sent on a daily basis, without order of priority and without thematic organisation. Campaign secretariat as coordinator? A GOOD POINT! Upon request, to get the list of participants in European level events organised by the CoE from a specific country. Aim: to get in touch with those persons for reports and info on the activity at the NCC level. Campaign Website? THE BEST TOOL! The Campaign website was identified as the best and main tool to be used to ensure NCC networking. The good use of the website for networking during the Campaign was also seen as good way to ensure sustainability of the network in the follow up of the Campaign. 16 3. Recommendations: To NCCs and youth organisations involved in the Campaign: - Use the website, especially: - Use the NCC fora (both the public and the restricted access) - Regularly check the ‘recent stuff’ - Post one page report for each activity - Dare using the website.everybody should feel equal to use it To the Council of Europe secretariat: - Ensure a youth friendly and attractive website - Encourage young people to use it - Create a manual on how to use the website (to be posted on the website!) - Create a photo gallery to make the website more attractive and human Human Rights Education Rapporteur: Kim Schortgen Participants of : Council of Europe, Greece, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Norway, Sweden Luxembourg expresses the wish to exchange experiences about human rights education in order to be able to propose higher quality workshops to the youngsters they touch with their Campaign. In Sweden they are about to develop a lighter version of the “Compass” manual. An educational guide will be published by October 2006. The participants mention that they have a definite need for training in Human Rights Education. The Council of Europe will propose a training course probably by the end of the year in Budapest. http://act-hre.coe.int Which issues should be raised at the training? How can we reach through to the youngsters? What tools can we use to make our training as attractive as possible for them? Peer Education would be one possible tool. - What is human rights education? In which context will the training be implemented? o Training for trainers and the need to adapt the training to the different target populations of youngsters o Follow up of UN resolutions o Make the information more available (how can I use this information?) o Human Rights as a political issue instead of being a social and human priority Need in some countries to make youngsters become more aware of the existence of Human Rights and of their importance. A lot of young people aren’t conscious about the impact of human rights on the quality of their everyday life anymore. 17 Synergies Participants: Ranko Simmnovic (Montenegro), Tatjana Antic (Serbia), Janoz NoNodov (Slovenia), Marie Stenman (Sweden), Julius Adalsteinsson (Iceland) We talked about linking AD-AE to other Campaigns like The Campaign for Equal Opportunities for all. The problem is that not all member states of the Council of Europe are members of the European Union. We talked about the importance of setting up activities at least in every country and even better in all Europe to gain media attention. Official funds or support projects (EUF and the Youth programme, national and local funds) should prioritise applications that are linked to the theme of the campaign. Participation of minorities The topics which were discussed were: 1. How do we define a minority? 2. How are minorities represented in the NCC? 3. How can we make this a Campaign by youth, also including minorities? Outcomes: We defined minorities as sexual, religious, and ethnic and people with impairments. We found that the countries represented had very different structures on the NCCs. The challenges faced by participants of the working group are that NGOs are not involved in the NCCs, there is a lack of information and lack of engagement from the governmental side to follow up the Campaign in terms of action. The positive outcome of NCCs which consists of both governmental representatives and NGO representatives is that this is a good platform for further cooperation. Our suggestion to ensure that minorities are represented in the NCCs is that one should ensure that information about the Campaign will reach out to all groups. Examples on how to reach minority youth is by contacting minority organisations, using schools as an arena of involvement, having a geographical spread of events, give information to local authorities, use youth friendly ways of communication were one example is to use comic magazines, meet youth were they are and to identify key actors in minority communities and organisations and use them as multipliers. It is important that NGOs are involved in the decision making processes of the Campaign and not only in the activities. NGOs should be a part of the NCCs but if the cooperation is failing this should not prevent NGOs from having ownership and running activities in the Campaign. - - 18 - To make this a Campaign by youth and not only for youth it is important to involve international organisations, involve youth, and focus specially on minority youth in the decision-making processes, assisting in funding, give support and information on how to participate in the Campaign. Co-management of the Campaign, NCC/NGOs We started by presenting each other and explained what we were expecting from this working group. People attending this working group were from Estonia, Sweden, France, Iceland, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Greece and Cyprus. Basically we were all looking for efficient ways to involve NGOs in the Campaign and within the NCCs. We figure out three different steps: o How to create the NCC: it becomes obvious for all of us that if there is no NCC yet, it’s better to create it from NGOs and to invite officials to join in than to create it with official representatives of the government who will be in charge of inviting NGOs. As the risk is that some NGOs and the targets they are reaching will be excluded from the Campaign. o How an NCC should reach out to NGOs : we all agreed that it was easier and more efficient to contact umbrella organisations as they already have connections with other NGOs. o How to involve NGOs in the Campaign when they are not involved in the NCC: we thought that it is really important to give the NGOs organising projects related to the aims of the Campaign some accreditation or authorisation to use the Logo of the ADAE Campaign and any other material that could give their actions more credibility but that would also give more visibility to the Campaign. We also thought that it is important to add their actions on the official website of the Campaign to give them more visibility. If there is no NCC in the country or the existing one doesn’t accept it, we said that it’s the CoE Campaign that has to give them the authorisation to do it. We also wanted to ask the EFJ, the European ADAE Campaign and the CoE to co-write a letter that will be sent to all NCCs and NGOs explaining them that they should involve all the NGOs organising events related to the topics of the Campaign, even if they are not involved in the NCC, by adding their actions on the NCC website and allow them to use the ADAE Logo and the slogan. Funding and fundraising Government National level: - Cross ministries short term and mid term strategies and action plan analysis for identifying the eventual activities linkage with the Campaign (e.g. Ministry of Culture – festivals, concerts etc) - Mid-term revision of the state budget/budget planning for the next year (having in mind cross-sectorial approach) 19 Practically all the institutions responsible for youth have the small grants program for YNGO, it is important that projects that could be linked to the Campaign have the priority at the contest Local level Municipal/local departments and strategies should be revised in order to include the -Campaign action plan at regional/local level Priority in small grants programs for YNGOs, if programs exist at the local level Private sector - Representatives of private associations to be included in NCCs (it is important that any support and forms of participation of the business sector is valuable – involvement, human resources, participation) - Implementation of activities at the local level, incorporate local businesses Motivation: to improve the community (safe), entrepreneurship, advertising at local, national, regional, international level, improve competencies and employability, corporate/social responsibility Questions on the involvement of the private sector: - Linking the private sector with the Campaign (Coca-cola logo?) Moral/ethical limits - How far can advertising go? Donors - including (local and international) donors organizations in NCCs as member or inviting as observers - donors conference - Youth in action programme - European Youth Foundation - CIS/SEE countries involvement - UN agencies (UNDP, UNICEF) - Soros foundation - Evaluation of the Campaign Rapporteur: Oksana Garnets Participants: Katrin Oeser (Campaign Secretariat), Maria Bonova ( NCC Slovakia), Anna Misiaouli (NCC Cyprus), Oksana Garnets (NCC Ukraine), Dmytro Bondarenko (NCC Ukraine) Outcomes of the discussion Evaluation steps:  Define evaluand  Clarifying goals  Setting indicators  Identifying methods  Collecting and analyzing data  Getting feed back 20 a) b) - Define evaluand sponsoring media coverage create networks Clarifying goals Raising awareness Increasing visibility Involving new target groups c) Setting indicators General - count the WEB site users - New people involved – “new faces” in smaller settlements - Campaign related applications for funding - Grants at national level released to support Campaign activities Educational activities - Follow up projects - New faces/ participants - Involvements of schools .All target groups – teachers, pupils, parents Networks - NCCs cooperation with INGYOs, especially local and rural projects Public awareness - New sponsors involved - Opinions and involvement of minority groups changed Working Group on the Follow-up Rapporteur: Kathrin Groth The most crucial point for a successful Follow-up is to already talk about and plan the Follow-up at a very early stage. To strengthen the sustainability of the Campaign the NCC should keep that in mind from the beginning and talk about actions to be undertaken during and after the Campaign as well as define the aims of the Campaign Committee after the Campaign ended. Actions for NCCs to follow-up the Campaign - start planning already during the Campaign: - Provide an exhibition of projects or arts which have been done / produced during the Campaign and send the exhibition from town to town for a year or so. - Keep Media-Work up: Keep the Website so that people can download material, start a poster Campaign or tv/spots in the summer 2008, keep the topics interesting for the Media) - Collect Reports on what has been done as well as material, strategies, outcomes, manuals and concepts and provide them to everybody who wants to be active via Internet or as brochures. You could even organize all the information according the three Campaign-topics in the categories literature/material, contacts/networks, and strategies. - Think about further funding and collect contacts 21 - Organize networks in a way that will keep them alive even after the Campaign stopped Invent a special day on e.g. youth participation on annual basis and use the existing days, e.g. “The Day against racism” for activities and so on. Influence their coordinators so that they will keep the Campaign-ideas for future actions. Find a Focus for the Follow-up. Influence your government so that they make the Campaign -Ideas to their priorities Link the Campaign to Schools – change their Curriculum. Actions for NCCs after the Campaign ended: - Evaluate the evaluation to find possibilities for further actions - Find synergies with the EU-Year of 2008 or with CoE-activities from 2008 on as well as on national level. - Organize a congress on Diversity, Human Rights and Participation a year after the Campaign ended to see what’s still going on. Despite these actions on national level also the Council of Europe and the Youth Forum Jeunesse should have a Follow-up on the Campaign. Final discussion In the final plenary session the outcomes of the working groups were presented. Further discussed was the issue how NGOs can be supported that are not involved in NCCs. A letter of advice and support for the NGOs on behalf of the Steering group and the Secretariat was requested. A member of the Steering group said that it was foreseen for august to send out such a letter. It was underlined as well that NGOs can use the Logo of the Campaign and hence relate their events to the Campaign according to the rules published on the web regardless of their involvement in the national NCC. The chair closed the meeting by emphasizing to really use the growing network as a resource for expertise, exchange and future cooperation. 22 General outcomes and conclusions  Positive: - 23 officially established NCCs participated in the meeting, 33 countries were represented, among them 11 INGYO , in 9 other countries the process of establishing an NCC is on its way - Several cultural and multimedia products have been produced (e.g. music, cartoons/Belgium, Bulgaria, films/Luxemburg, Moldova), Campaign websites have been launched (most NCCs) Content/ methods - Most NCCs are dealing with all the Campaign themes - new educational manuals have been produced (e.g. Finland, Belgium) - formats for young people have been chosen like music festivals, web contests (e.g.Luxemburg) , artistic contests (e.g. Germany, Czech Republik) - a broad variety of methods is used: from hidden theatre to conferences   Cooperation - Regional cooperation projects have been initiated and/ or deepened like the new Balkan cooperation and the Nordic Baltic Event  Media - some regular media partnerships have been established (e.g. Belgium, Finland) Network - Useful informal exchange on concrete tools like the living library and materials, gadgets, BUT more exchange between NCCs on gadgets could be useful - Strong involvement of INGYOs lead to fruitful exchange with NCCs and should be continued, this was a request from the first meeting Communication - Communication work is of crucial importance for the success of the Campaign! - Broader understanding of the functioning of the Campaign structures and its communication tools even thought still some hesitation to publish on the website THE WEB PORTAL IS OUR COMMON TOOL, CONTRIBUTIONS FROM ALL ARE WELCOME!
