What are the first steps in your countries?

Conclusions of the brainstorming:

 

The main immediate steps outlined during the discussions suggest two-phases approach, committing of establishing a core-alliance responsible for the campaign, followed by a networking activity on a larger scale.

 

Basically, first steps should be low cost actions as:

 

* contacting the organisations sugared to become a interested in the campaign

* Estimating the costs an setting the necessary budget

* Establishing the Internet as the mail accessible mean of communication

 

Particular actions were outlined as it follows:

 

* (Romania) organising a meeting with an international guest from Democracy International

* (Yugoslavia) contacting some people which have influence in decision making

* (Belgium) contacting the members of the Convention

 

A secondary general item would be the identification of the multiplies as:

 

* Stakeholders, opinion leaders, especially young people

* people with influence on decision making

* Convention members

 

This groups will be the targets of the campaign, useful in the activity of distributing and publishing the information to the public opinion and for the lobby action.

 

A general task of Democracy International would be create a common identity of the activists involved in this particular campaign in order to enlarge the movement to a larger, maybe world wide size.
