Having been Regional Coordinator for Portugal in 2010 and for Germany in 2011, it was my task to re-establish contact with some of YEE's so called "sleeping MOs", organisations that neither responded to our mails nor calls for partners or didn't pay the membership fee. Altogether there were three "sleeping MOs" in these countries: OPE in Portugal as well as BUNDjugend and NAJU im LBV in Germany. The meetings themselves were as varied as they could be. The visit of OPE took place in June 2010. Since OPE itself is the "Organization for the Promotion of Ecoclubs", I visited one of their Ecoclubs called Ecoclubinos in Vila Nova de Gaia close to Porto. Spending the whole weekend there, I participated in the final celebration of a national youth initiative organized by them where its results were presented in a photo gallery and a theatre play and organic food, grown during the project, was promoted.

I can facilitate!' and even initiated the Youth Exchange 'Renewable Energy and Waste Management' which took place in Porto, Portugal, at the end of July 2011. During my second meeting I got to know Gert Sanders, the director of BUNDjugend, in Berlin where I met him at their headquarters. Unfortunately we figured out quite fast that the organisation didn't currently have resources to keep up contact with and membership in YEE. Finally we agreed that BUNDjugend would make a request for cancellation of its membership at the Annual Meeting 2011 but also made a note that cooperation in a project is imaginable in the future even without membership whenever a member of BUNDjugend shows interest.
For me exploring the activities as well as structures of all these different organisations was very enriching, that is why I would like to conclude this article directing the above mentioned questions at you, the reader: These questions might serve you as a starting point and if you have answered them for yourself, you might want to discuss them with other members of your organisation. Because exchange with other organisations means getting to know many new people as well as getting to know better your own and other organisations!
