APRIL 2003

The People's March and the EYPD Bus Tour

As part of the EYPD there will be a "Peoples March" which will consist of a Bus tour. The bus will be visiting every country. We ask everybody to find out when the bus is coming to your country, when it does let the EYPD organisers know what you are doing and ask for your events to be linked to the bus visit and for your activities to be put on the EYPD website.

The People's March will be coming to a place near you in 2003!

The March started in Greece in January, the EYPD bus will be taking the March through the 15 European Union Member States, ending in Italy in December.

Get on board! The bus is part of your campaign too! Find out when the bus visits your country - publicise your work on the bus and make your work part of the March. Or join in other activities around the bus. For more information on the bus and the events around it, get in contact with your national campaign supporter.

The European Year of People with Disabilities is more than the March. National coordinating bodies (NCB) have been set up in each country coordinating EYPD activities throughout the year. For all questions or further information relating to your project, do not hesitate to contact your NCB

As mentioned before, this is a fabulous opportunity to raise awareness of stuttering by advertising your work and events. It is free advertising paid for by the Commission.
"GET ON BOARD".
Over the next two months the March and bus will be visiting Spain, Portugal and France. Here are the contacts:
