We want to organize a big hospitality and sharing event in July 2014.
* a+g: post on BW forum
We are planning a big hospitality event in the center of France, inspired by Monnai 2005 and the culture around Hitchgathering. 5 days of sharing, encounters, creativity, workshops, music, art, dancing and forest. We have a potential location for up to 500 people and a host organization, VASI Jeunes, that can also host 3 European Voluntary Service volunteers that can organize most of the practicalities. We have done the initial research, in which you are free to participate at http://piratepad.net/qGY87pRuvJ=== EVS ===
The deadline for the EVS application is early January, so we want to find 3 volunteers* http://eacea.ec.europa. As a volunteer you will be fed and lodged by a nice organization in a beautiful village and you will get 100 euro per month stipendeu/youth/programme/action2_en.

[[File:Foret-vous-appelle.jpg|300px|right]][[File:Vasijeunes-construction-en-bois.JPG|300px|right]][[File:Vasijeunes-gathering.jpg|300px|right]]'''Forêt-Belleville is a little village ''' literally means Forest Beautiful Village, it's situated in the center of [[France]] surrounded by forests and apart from woods there are also lakes. We ''wanted'' to organize a big hospitality and sharing event in '''July 2014'''. In the style of [[Hitchgathering]]s, slightly more organized, Another event that comes to mind is Monnai 2005, which was also around the 14th of July. Let me roughly quote pietshah, the organizer of that event:* good weather (eh eh eh...)* natural location, without city, without supermarket, without parkings* the participants are together for being together* ''participative'' atmosphere, there are no spectators* ''idealist'' organization: values, ethic (organic and local food, eco behaviour, participation of local actors, etc)* the big international game: people from all over the world, funny situation to gather citizens from 50 or 100 countries in a field in the French countryside* locals should be curious and participate to that incredible thing happening at their door
== ACTION POINTS ==
* Julien: combien de personnes pourrait-on héberger dans la prairie?
** I (abyssin) met with Julien in January and it seems it would be 150 people rather than 500.
* a: check Youth in Action grants
** I met with people at Maison de l’Europe in Limoges and Eramus+ doesn’t seem to suit our projects very well, neither in terms of deadlines for filing the project (April) and getting an answer (July) nor criterias for funding (all due to the novelty of the program).
* find EVS sending organization
