4. At St. Peter's
School we also discussed a follow up for the 08 Youth Summit.
This idea requires a long term and thorough preparation and organisation.
Therefore I kindly invite the schools in Europe to discuss these plans
with the
schoolmanagement and the schools in India to contact the European partners
on the
strategy how to cooperate in the contents of the programme.
The meeting did not decide on coordination, planning, organisation and
financial
consequences.
Hereby I take the liberty to invite our Indian partnerschools to inform
the
Dutch/European schools on what their expectations are and whether the
issues
mentioned are sufficiently valid to proceed.
Yours faithfully,
On behalf of the European delegation,
Ms Jeanne Corsten.
