We met at the wonderful Kortenberg Abbey, which is 10 kilometer away from Brussels center. In the morning session the statues were discussed and decided. In the afternoon the executive board was elected.

Afterwards young people from Spain reported about their struggle in Barcelona. You find an interview with them in our homepage.
