HOW WE ROLL Workshops in EJB EJB has been through some really busy couple of months.

Iberico (Workshop between Spain and Portugal) happened in Barcelona in December. At the same time NaJuWo (JB Workshop) was happening in Germany. These two were followed by Med Nights, that was in Croatia. NICE happened last month in Lithuania, from the 13th till the 16th.

Next Workshops Wild West Weekend (Western Europe Meeting) and Go East (Central Eastern European Neighborhood Weekend) are going to happen this month, in The Netherlands (6th-9th), and Austria (13th till the 16th).

These European Neighbourhoods never stop working.

Peace Education Youth Exchange For a while now CISV Norway and CISV Colombia have been working on a project together, to develop peace education, bond people from both countries and work on the four peace education content areas.
