The second and final seminar of the European Digital Youth Information Project was held at the YouthNet office in London on Thursday 27th and Friday 28th January 2011.

The two days of intense discussion were dedicated to:

• Evaluating the project
• Analyzing the interim results of the final survey, which will remain open for a few more weeks
• Discussing future networking opportunities

Youth Agora is presenting the European Campus project at the DrupalCon Copenhagen 2010, one of the largest web development conferences in Europe.

The presentation (Slideshare embed) is below.

The European Campus project, having ESN UNICA and Youth Agora as main partners, was presented during the Annual General Meeting 2010 of the Erasmus Student Network, held in the wonderful city of Istanbul 8-12 April 2010.

Youth Agora presented Sheryica, the Platform for Youth Information Workers, during the ERYICA General Meeting in Rotterdam, 3-6 December 2009.

In the Sheryica platform, Youth Information Workers from the 8000 ERYICA Information centers will be able to share stories and discuss topics about Youth Information. Sheryica will thus be both a dissemination and collaboration tool for the thousands of Youth Information workers in the ERYICA network.

Version 0.2 of the Master Template, the main tool we will use to build the European Campus, has now been released and is available to the pilot group.

DrupalCon, the annual European Drupal conference, has just finished; it is the key event for everything related to Drupal, the engine powering most of the youth Agora products and projects: there were technical and non-technical sessions about Drupal and its development, as well as insights into the coming Drupal 7.

Christof Devriendt, Antonio De Marco and me presented the Master Template dissemination tool to IRO officers and international programme coordinators from University La Sapienza, University Tor Vergata and University Roma Tre. The site visit also offered a chance for the attendees to share their experience and give feedback on the European Campus project.

In the framework of the Online Platform for Youth Information Workers project (Youth in Action programme, Action 4.5), Youth Agora will build a modern dissemination tool for the ERYICA network.

Details were discussed with both the ERYICA Board and representatives of its member organizations in Helsinki, during the ERYICA A Better Youth Information For new Times Seminar (June 11th-14th).

The Youth Agora team submitted the following session proposal for the DrupalCon Paris 2009 conference. Registered participants can vote for it after logging in on the DrupalCon site!
