This project shows that the hitch-hiking community is still very much alive in a century of motorways. Each year thousands of people hitch-hike all over the world; and in many countries it is still a common way of getting around. The goal is to suggest that it could be a great human experience to pick up a hitch-hiker, share your car and exchange stories. The hitch-hikers community wants to promote hitch-hike as a way of travelling. | This project shows that the hitch-hiking community is still very much alive in a century of motorways.

hundreds of hitch-hikers are taking part of the European Hitch-hiking Week On the 7th of August 2009 (7/8/9) and as long as a week before, hundreds of hitch-hikers from all over the world will team up to hitch-hike to Odesa, Ukraine, for the second European hitch-hiking week called "The 789 Project"
This project shows that the hitch-hiking community is still very much alive in a century of motorways. Each year thousands of people hitch-hike all over the world; and in many countries it is still a common way of getting around. The goal is to suggest that it could be a great human experience to pick up a hitch-hiker, share your car and exchange stories. The hitch-hikers community wants to promote hitch-hike as a way of travelling.
The festival is in Odesa, but the adventure starts at your doorstep. Each participant is invited to contribute to the event with road stories, pictures and videos. In the previous edition (08/08/2008) a documentary movie was produced.
Journalists are also invited to join the European Hitch-hiking Day. They can team up with experienced hitch-hikers, attend prior meetings that take place all over Europe from the 1st up until the 6th. They may also follow a hitch-hiker and call one or several of them to receive live-updates and stories along the way.
