Preparing for the Freedom Drive!
|
 In order to help Freedom Drivers prepare for the week in Strasbourg, we have put together several useful documents.
- First of all, the Freedom Drive 2011 Progress Report will give you information about what has happened since the last Freedom Drive in 2009; in other words, has anyone listened to our demands?
- The second document, Freedom Drive 2011 Demands Explained will give you a bit more information about each of the demands. Not everyone is familiar with policies and developments at EU level, so we hope you will find this useful.
- Finally, the Participant Dossier will provide you with practical information, to make sure that your week in Strasbourg is stress-free and to help you get the most out of all the activities. We would like to thank ENIL's intern Priya Varaprath for all her hard work on these documents.
