789, I want to hitch with Frankenstein
( Home - Ideas - Website Debate - Slogan Debate - Newsletters - Forum - Website - Coordination - List of things to do - Press Article - Coordination Group )

From the 888 to the 789, hitchikers think that the event is more to promote the concept of Hitch-hiking rather than to all meet up somewhere and have a good time and just drink. This is why the proposal of meeting outside a city was ruled out: we want to be seen by strangers and make some actions in the city ; for example at the 789 in Odessa, we have done a flashmobs about hitchiking to somewhere special and next try to get a lift to the event's place.

New fancy name for 2010?

Moved to 6810/Name.

DESTINATION

Moved to 6810.

Please feel free to add your ideas and help organizing the third hitchhiking European week.

+=== STORY ===
+A small group of enthusiastic travelers had decided to organize the first European Hitch-hiking Week.
-The [[Project 888|888 project]] was a success. Let's make it look ridiculous compared to the 2009 edition. On '''07/08/09''', hitchhikers from all over the world will converge on a location that is still secret (because we haven't decided yet).
+The aim was to give one location and one time for a rally, and broadcast it to all the hitch-hikers of the world. The place was decided to be the "Champs de Mars" in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France; and the time 10pm on the 08/08/08, hence the name of "Project 888".
-==Philosophy==
+people showed up from all around Europe and stayed for the 3 days week-end. It was a very intense time of exchange, smiles, and french wine.
-At the pre-meeting on the last day of 888, there was consensus on the fact that the event is more to promote the concept of Hitch-hiking rather than to all meet up somewhere and have a good time. This is why the proposal of meeting outside a city was ruled out: we want to be seen by strangers.
+And they continue to meet every year in a different place.
-We need to pick a place where many people can come without visas and where we have a local organizer.
-Please feel free to add your ideas and help organizing the 2nd hitchhiking European week.
+: The [[Project 888|888 project]] On ''' 08/08/08''' , hitchhikers from all over the world converged to Paris, for the first european hitchiking week.

-==Where==
+: The [http://www.the789project.com/ 789 project]. On '''07/08/09''', Hitchikers meet again in [[Odessa]] in [[Ukraine]], [[Eastern Europe]].
-At the meeting on the last day of [[888]], the general consensus was that the location had to move East, after Paris. If possible outside of the 15 original EU member-states. Ukraine was given a lot of attention because it is the only country in Europe where Schengen Zone Europeans, Ukrainians, Moldovans, Bielorussians, Russians and Turks can come together (though it is hard for hitchhikers from outside Europe to get a visa, they generally need an invitation letter).

-Kosovo was also given a lot of attention for that matter but also because we have a great local correspondent there and it can be a great opportunity for us to promote peace and hitchhiking in a region that needs such action.
+: Let's choose a new destination ! Helsinki ? Moscou ? Where ever you want ! Just some importants things have to been said :

-Any location within the [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/SchengenAgreement_map.svg Schengen space] will make it close to impossible for the non-Schengen people to join. Plus the price of life in Schengen Space can be unaffordable for a lot of us.

-*-: Hitchhiking in Montenegro... forget it (unless you give money) [is it? [[User:Whisperingofthestars|Jason]] and his friend managed it easily and extremely fast in May, 2008]. Also Serbia is quite hard [since when? The only problem seems to be wild camping because of the goddamn mines!].
