About ¨Be In¨
“Be In” is an ambitious European-wide information campaign that will reach 40 000 young people and youth organizations in 23 European countries during 2011 and 2012. “Be In” campaign will develop youth participation in public affairs, promote European citizenship, cultural diversity, volunteering and international mobility and inform young people about the Youth in Action programme and other opportunities to participate.

This campaign consists in providing young people, especially those with fewer opportunities, with information and examples about youth projects, to encourage them to get actively involved in the development of the European society.

“Be In” campaign promotes the following priorities:
• Youth participation
• Volunteering
• European citizenship
• Social inclusion
• Cultural diversity
• Mobility opportunities for young people
• Awareness about global challenges

The symbol of the project is the Youth in Action sailing boat, painted in the European colours, decorated with the Youth in Action logo and with young Europeans on board. It will travel to 30 European harbours and participate in various regattas to race for the European values and increase the visibility of the project. It will be accompanied by the Youth in Action minibus.

The tools of the campaign will be developed by young people themselves.
• The Youth in Action TV will broadcast on Internet videos from various Youth in Action projects, thematic videos and interviews about topics of the campaign.
• The Multimedia Library will collect videos, presentation, newsletters and other multimedia materials from various Youth in Action projects.
• The Together Magazine, printed in 5000 copies and available in electronic version, will be disseminated all over Europe.
