Agenda
- Eurocities conference
- Vincent and Roeland's projects
- European Commission Grants Seminar
- Graphic design for magazine
- preparation for next week's meeting

'''- Eurocities'''
- Roeland was at Eurocities coordination meeting for European Mobility Week
- much of the meeting was about World Carfree Day;
- Erika Jangen, head of carfree day for EU Environment Commission, is interested in working with us as well as Eurocities and the Czech commissioner
- We should sign the Eurocities charter which would give us many contacts and information for World Carfree Day

'''- Roeland's projects'''
- Roeland would like to work more on World Carfree Day along with Vincent (given what he learned at the conference)
- We decided that Kamila would take over his tasks on the Visegrad Fund so that he could devote his time to the Tabor meeting and carfree day

'''- European Commission Grants Seminar'''
- There is a seminar in February on the Canary Islands that focuses on small to medium sized NGOs and how they can get money from environment and energy topics
- it includes structural funds
- the total cost is 1200 euros
- If we can get a discount from 400-500 euros we might be able to manage it
- Arie will try to contact them in person

'''- Graphic design for magazine'''
- Steven suggested that we have someone do some graphic work on the magazine
- Kamila thinks that if we pay the person 100 euros it might be possible
- Steven has a contact and will ask her how much she would want to do some layout of the inside (Tanja has said she will design the cover)

'''- preparation for next week's meeting'''
- we will complete what we started at seme-annual meeting
- this is vision; standards values; concrete goals; then, most importantly, are the programmes
- We should think about ideas for these programmes
