This year ECOSY Summer Camp is taking place in Carpentras, near the French city of Avignon from 25-31 July, and it has already received over 2000 participants.
During the Camp several workshops themed "Social Europe for
Everyone"were organized; campaigning was not forgotten as the
European elections approach.
Zita Gurmai, President of PES Women, participated in one of the conferences and had a discussion with women representatives from ECOSY member organizations about the working conditions that young women endure in Europe.
PES press and campaign advisor, Julian Scola, spoke at a workshop on media work and campaigns, and at the PES stand 180 young people signed up as PES activists.
So, rendez-vous assured for 2009 at the next ECOSY Summer Camp!

"The biggest problem
in Poland now is lack of tolerance" was the startling statement of
Polish social democratic party leader Grzegorz Napieralski at ECOSY
summer camp. The young, recently-elected party leader said that
there was a lack of tolerance towards sexual minorities, and a lack
of tolerance for other religions apart from Catholicism. He added
that Poland didn't have a problem with migration - which implied to
me that there would be a lack of tolerance to migrants if there
were any!!!
