Dear All,
we would gladly help in drafting and creating an
ad-hoc e-course. However, we would like to ask all the
intersetde people to contribute by sharing your ideas
and point of view, and getting involved, so as to
create a true for-youth and by-youth effective tool
for change (including drafting parts of the course,
facilitating some of it or providing contacts). We
really need you tell us what your priorities are, and
the kind of course that you envision. Some of you have
already got in touch with me to propose help, hope
that more of you will join us!
So, looking forward to work with you all!
Thanks,
Selene
