General Assembly
Last November all Effective Members of Youth Agora came together to have its first General Assembly
Posted by Christof Devriendt Sunday, 21 December, 2008 - 15:10

For our first "Youth Agora General Assembly" we found something special: "Center Parcs. A State Of Happiness"
(the last one was especially chosen for Antonio ;)

Location was Holland: Port Zelande, in the middle of the famous delta works.

We stayed from friday evening till monday morning (3 nights) in a nice bungalow.

In the evenings we went to swim to relax from all the hard work. Antonio did not fully agree on the relaxing aspect of this swimming.

On the programme we had a lot of different things.
