Save the Date! June 5 - 9, 2014. Meeting in Groningen, NL. Most YEPs and Pangaea members probably adore the mountains, live with them, around them and for them. But: it is time to step outside your comfort zone! and come to the flatlands, below the sea level! The Netherlands are not only flat, but full of water, history and culture. You are invited to find out yourself in GRONINGEN in the very north of the country between June 5 and 9 (which is the holiday of Pentecost, or in German Pfingsten). In the four to five days we will explore the role of energy in our daily lives, discuss the consumption, and visit a windpark in Eemshaven. We will also give a presentation about the Pangaea Project and its ideas and values at the university. Of course there will also be plenty of time to enjoy the time together on the camping in the city, kajaking the many canals, and hiking in the Waddenzee to an island in the North Sea- a very special region of Europe. So, stay tuned! Where: Camping stadspark Groningen, NL How much?: keep costs as little as possible: ca. for four days 60€- 80€ in total. Why? Meet your old peers and make new friends.
