Youth Treaty
Mechanisms
1. Working in networks: Open a conference through an already existing electronic mail network - e.g., APC (Associated Progressive Communications) - and continue and extend an existing network, such as A SEED, for information exchange, cooperation in solidarity and the coordination of action.
2. Create regional information centers which are involved in the e-mail network that will:
a) produce a rejuvenation of existing regional youth NGOs;
b) create a directory which will include different activities, needs, and resources of every organization;
c) coordinate a network through fax for periodical communications;
d) elaborate a newsletter including participation of all NGOs in the region;
e) coordinate realization of various joint campaigns at regional levels.
3. Resources: Exchange information through the Network about different sources and mechanisms of funding. Transfer resources between NGOs from the North and South, and from governments and private institutions to regional networks for youth environmental activities.
