Close-up at Davos with Citizen Reporters

I have just got the information about a Youtube Channel dedicated to the World Economic Forum at Davos. A young Columbian videoblogger, Pablo Camacho, reports live from the conference - after having won a vlogging competition - and do little interviews with World Thinkers. From what I have seen, Pablo is doing a great job: asking questions and letting others speak. My questions are: Who will listen to the answers? And what impact will they have - if… Continue

Blogging conference BINGO!

Just my 0.02 to thank the EJC and the competitors for the Brussels event. You we're great, really!

As this is my n-th blogging conference, and it's still January so I am not expected to be concerning about EU-related business yet, I made a tiny blogging conference bingo.

To play, simply print out this bingo sheet and attend a Web-related conference. The first one to fill a straight line or all four corners… Continue

Y Vote 2009 & AEGEE

I suppose (and hope), that (almost) all of you heard about AEGEE (European Students' Forum) and our project "Y Vote 2009" during the launch event in Brussels. :) As I noticed, there were quite a few people interested to find out about the project and organisation in general more, so I'll post some basic information.

Blogging

I've never blogged before. I've written a diary (*long* time ago). I've written hundreds of articles and thousands, maybe even millions of e-mails and letters.

I've never read blogs before. Started to do it today. Still trying to understand what kind of blogs do I like, how do they look like and in what ways they are different from each other.

I have no idea what is the right word for "blog" in… Continue

Filled up with inspiration...

Dear all,
I'm still 'high' on intellectual and international inspiration from the past days in Brussels!! It's been so great being back in that atmosphere of 'let's do something and make some influence on the World around us'. I can't wait till this gets properly started and will be looking forward to read your blogs.
Lots of energetic thought to you all, Julie

My Experience of Brussels

I didn't really know what to expect when I got to the airport - I've only ever left the country once before, to Cyprus for my sister's wedding. At security control, the officers took my belt and my shoes leaving me feel rather silly, before I met Kirsty, another girl from the North of England.

Take off was amazing! I'd do that every day if I could. The ticket said "snack" but was actually more like a meal, and I was very surprised to be served wine!

Me and Kirsty couldn't… Continue
