On Tuesday October 26 the YEE office team will travel to the beautiful area of Czech Karst nearby Prague and measure the quality of water in rivers, streams and lakes in this region. This activity is the part of the worldwide project World Water Monitoring Day, which aims to raise awareness on protecting water resources all around the world and encourage people to do the basic water monitoring in their countries. World Water Monitoring Day is officialy celebrated on September 18, but the time for monitoring was extended from World Water Day (March 22) to the end of the year (December 31) in 2009 for the first time. Everybody interested can order water test kits (including tools for measuring temperature, acidity, clarity and dissolved oxygen) and join the World Water Monitoring Day project.

We drink water every day mainly with no reflection. But fresh water is a real treasure that needs to be protected. Water is an integral part of our environment and we cannot live without it, however, there are people who do not have access to fresh water.

YEE aims at linking the protection of the environment with the defence of human rights and at making public aware of this relation by creating the photo exhibition "Water - Its importance in pictures". The exhibition will be published on this website, on www.sunnycampaign.net and a physical exhibition will travel from country to country: envisaged in Armenia, Czech Republic, Germany, Sweden, and Ukraine.

Everybody is welcome to contribute with pictures from above mentioned countries. Summer trips are great opportunity to do so. Water flows in our Universe and as environment it knows no border. Let's show it to people! Take pictures of persons drinking from different sources of fresh water and send them to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Don't forget to write down your full name and your country of origin for the subtitle of the picture. If you like you can also submit your own subtitle additionally.

Deadline for sendind photos is October 4. After the deadline you can still contribute with pictures to our web galleries at www.sunnycampaign.net.

We are looking forward to your contribution!

Project "Water – Its importance in pictures" was funded by the European Youth Foundation – the Council of Europe.

YEE team is starting to prepare the next issue of YEE Magazine. Each issue of our Y&E Magazine aims to study one important environmental topic in a deeper way. We gather articles from young people that deal closely with the topic of the magazine.

From now on we will connect YEE magazines with specific projects. By doing this we will be able to multiply the achievements and learning of each of our projects.

The next edition of the YEE Magazine will be called 'Environmental education through the eyes of young people. Games for nature'. It will be a follow-up publication to the youth exchange 'Learning from each other - games of environmental education' that will take place in Poland in September and is organised by our Member Organisation OA PTTK (http://oakrakow.pttk.pl/j/index.php).

As well as including contributions from participants in the youth exchange, we also hope that other members of YEE will be able to contribute to this publication. Do you know interesting games used in environmental education? Have you recently taken part in a game that opened your eyes (or ears!) to nature in a new way? If the answer to either of these questions is "yes" then we would love to receive an article from you on the topic.

The deadline for articles is 27th September.

Please send your the articles to:
