Dear friends,

I wish you all happy 2010!

I am happy to announce that DEMYC is starting the year with a boost: a winter school / study visit to Lebanon in the end of February.

The DEMYC Bureau continues the DEMYC 50 year legacy of breaking down barriers. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the anniversary of which we all celebrated last year, we have the privilege to have achieved peace and democracy in EU. In this Bureau’s mandate, the light of the DEMYC lighthouse is aiming towards Belarus and Middle East. Last year our winter school in Lithuania reinforced the DEMYC soludarity to the fight for freedom and democracy of our Belarusian partners. This year we are inviting our member organizations to a study visit to Lebanon, to our last event  before the DEMYC Congress in spring.

Best regards and see you in Lebanon,

Páll Heimisson,

Chairman of DEMYC
