Cari tutti,
numerosissime sono le iniziative ed i progetti che si accavallano sui Corpi Civili di Pace. In ambito europeo ne circolano almeno tre, due di queste comprendono anche l'elemento della protezione civile. Abbiamo voluto mettere a confronto i vari interlocutori (Consiglio, Commissione, Parlamento e ONG) per vedere se si riesce a giungere ad un progetto comune. Di seguito trovate un primo programma. Siete i benvenuti. Sará un confronto serrato e speriamo fruttuoso. Il seminario si svolge solo in inglese ed il numero di posti della sala è limitato. Se qualcuno di voi fosse interessato è pregato di farsi vivo quanto prima. Ciao,
Paolo Bergamaschi
