SEPTEMBER 2003


The People's March and the EYPD Bus Tour in Sweden, Finland and the Netherlands

As part of the EYPD a “Peoples March” is being organised during 2003 consisting of a Bus tour. The bus will be visiting every EU 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 March started in Greece in January, 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.

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.
