ICYE Newsletter No. 1 - February 2003

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the first issue of “Worlds of Experience”, the quarterly electronic Newsletter of the Federation of the International Cultural Youth Exchange – ICYE.

The newsletter will comprise different recurring sections. The first one - Volunteers Voices - in each issue, will be dedicated to a different theme relevant to international volunteering and global education, on which our international volunteers will share their experiences, views and analysis.

The theme of this issue is dedicated to experiences of young volunteers working along side staff and local volunteers in projects that work with children living in difficult in difficult circumstances in Colombia, Germany, Kenya, Mexico, and Switzerland.

The second and third sections will briefly report on youth projects run respectively by international organisations and NGOs.

An update on new ICYE programmes and projects, will then follow together with more “personal” but equally important news from the ICYE network of members and partners.

A calendar of upcoming events, will close and recap each issue.

The newsletter will be circulated via e-mail, as text only and as PDF format, as well as posted on the ICYE Federation’s web site: www.icye.org

Please note that the next issue will be circulated on 30 April 2003 and will be dedicated to HIV/AIDS and YOUTH . Please send your contributions to icye@icye.org by 15 April 2003.

We hope that you will enjoy reading it!

ICYE International Office
