Project description.
Having seen similar magazines done by some of our partner organizations in Greece and other European countries, our youngsters decided, that a project like this would surely enrich Hienet and Piraeus.
To prepare the creation of the magazine we will first form the group of participants, discuss about the context, and give them the responsibility for the different parts.
Then they will start to collect information, do interviews… etc.
Moreover we will look for a company who can print our magazine.
As all the activities (collection of information, interviews, writing of the articles, set up of the pages, distribution…) will be done by our youngsters and the E.V.S. Volunteers, they will be completely involved during all the steps.

With this project we want:
To give our youngsters a chance to express themselves
To give to the young people in our neighborhood and to all Piraeus youngsters information about European projects (EVS,…).
Moreover we plan to write about social problems like drugs or Aids and we hope to open discussions about these subjects.
Through our volunteers from different countries we have the possibility to give interesting ideas about other cultures and the way-of-life in other European countries.
Also this magazine will present Hienet’s projects and activities.
All together we expect to enrich our neighborhood by creating this small but open-minded magazine.
Most of the articles will be about subjects relevant for young people in Greece & all European countries, there will be information about European projects and in the end our result will be distributed to our partner organizations all over Europe.
We plan to continue this project, if it is successful. (To make the magazine monthly)
Moreover we are going to present the magazine on a Web Page in the internet.
