Dear Europe... Marta

Yesterday the Identity group wrote some letters to Europe where they ex- press their hope, their fears and some advices.

All of the letters have something in common like the hopes of equality, peace, tolerance and humanity even if there is a lot of differences between every country.

We are very glad to see all these lofty proposals for a better Europe: for ex- ample some of the letters recommend to take care about citizens and their Photos: Marta rights, about enviroment, women‘s religions and cultures, because diffe- rights (like payment and gender equa- rences makes us what we are. lity), refugees and to act pacefully like #quoteoftheday She is doing.

My Favorite Place in the European Youth Forum Katya walk in pine forest. It‘s calm and very when pines are in the fog, it looks really beautiful, expecially in the morning, mysterious. As we are in the camp for three days, many people have already found their lovely places, which they try to visit often. I have got this place too and I would like to share it with you. Hope you will like it.

The place is situated in front of our school. Its a little nice lawn with some high pines, with strong roots located around. If you want you may sit on it – roots are very comfortable and they can protect you from cold wind, but I strongly reccomend you to take some warm clothes with you, which you can use as a litter in order not to get col
