1. Veterinary Students for Sustainable Development

2. Who Are We? Network of (veterinary) student groups in France, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland… Goals: to support each other, share information and ideas, to find new members and to open (new) lines of communication.

3. Meeting in Utrecht, Netherlands: Laying the Foundation Organization: one representative from each group/country, one of which is coordinator for that year. Annual meetings to stay connected, next one in Bern in Nov 2005

4. Common Action Day Each group decides on an activity for one day in the spring. Mostly centered around public awareness of developmental work and/or our own group. To promote action for every student group, share experience and ideas, strengthen feeling of togetherness amongst students.

5. How to Keep the Ball Rolling Keep communication open: mostly via email and website (http://studentsnetwork.free.fr). Annual meetings hosted by different member groups. Common action day an annual event? Expand network to include other European groups. Stay positive and motivated!
