Hello again!
While reading your posts, I just want to point out some issues.
First of all,congratulations on the Austrians' initiative for that follow-up event. You are completely right that the only thing we did at the youth week was talking talking and just talking and now we want to see the true results from that talking.We want those results visible because we want to take the benefit from them but also it is good to know that we do not float on air at such events as the youth week. You give a reasonable advice by telling all of us to organize follow-ups in each member state but it is not that simple to do that in every country. however,even doing it,what then?isnt it the same 
as the youth week or whatever international event but this time on national level. How many follow-ups should we organize to make our voice heard. It is obvious that most of the so called  "decision-makers" /i.e. politicians/ accept the majority of youth as inexperienced people who do not shut their months. We have to show them that we are smart,intelligent,ambitious,flexible,self-confident and enthusiastic enough to bring a change in Europe. Our first step can be the international project Pavel has been mentioning for a few days.
There are no obstacles to our success unless we believe that there are!

Best wishes,
Galya

p.s. Pavel, you had better put some deadline for the people who want to be involved in the most fabuluous project in the history of Europe .. ;-)

Hey Galya,

Yo said "however,even doing it,what then?isnt it the same

I don't think that it's the same. As you pointed out, what we did in Brussels was talk, and thus try to find some common positions. What we should achieve with follow-ups now is to bring these results from to a more concrete level. We already proved that we have some good positions, now we must make ourselves hear. And we will have to ask for as many meetings as it will take till we made ourselves heard.

Maybe our struggle will be frustrating at some times, but we have to keep in mind what we are doing it for!
