News

First day, Monday 9th

Today the participants had the opportunity to know each other better and to introduce their Member Organizations.
In the morning we broke the ice with some team-building games, including an environmental treasure hunting that made us explore a bit the area around Švýcárna, and learn more about the nature in this region.
In the afternoon, each delegate introduced his/her Member Organization through games and presentations, and all of them improved the knowledge of the other MOs... this is the first important step to build tighter connections, make our network more effective and cooperate together!

You can find some pictures from the activities of this first day on our facebook page.

Every day we will post some news here on the website (and also on facebook), and at the end of the AM we will publish here a new big photogallery with all the best pictures from this event.

See you tomorrow!

YEE promotional movie

The project ‘Youth in ‘green‘ mov(i)e‘ aimed to create a general information movie about Youth and Environment Europe - the network of youth environmental organisations that has already a long history.
An international team was working for 6 months gathering materials about YEE, pictures from various projects, documenting international meetings, and cooperating with professional film makers.
The movie shows how young people can join the organisation and how to get involved in activities, what the main fields of work are and what type of activities YEE organises. We prepared two movies - a long and short version. We hope you will find them useful - they show young people organising green events!
The movie will be used to present Youth and Environment Europe to all young people interested in the international environmental activities. Through the movie we want to reach bigger amount of young people who could be interested in active work for environment.

The movie can be found here: http://www.yeenet.eu/index.php/yee-promo/yee-movie

If the version available at the website is not convenient for you as you would like to screen it during some events, you can receive the DVD with both versions of the movie - long and short.

If you would like to receive the DVD with the movie ‘Youth in ‘green‘ mov(i)e‘ please fill in
the questionnaire and send it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

We hope the movie will inspire you and encourage you to get more involved in activities with Youth and Environment Europe.
