NextGEN invites young people aged 16-25 from
all over Europe to Tamera Ecovillage Portugal in
July 2011 for a peer-to-peer youth meeting.
We wish to create a space for young people to share their visions
and motivation, to network and learn new social tools. The
gathering will offer a framework in which the creativity of youth
can run free, where ideas can be shared, developed and realized
and where individual and collective awareness are strengthened.
As one of the lecturers, John Croft who will speak on Dragon
