Introduction

Hello,

This is the first post to the blog which we will hopefully be able to use for the European Project on Equality. Although the focus on the project will be the visit to County Durham, England in February, we hope that the cultural exchange will last longer than that one week and be the basis of long-lasting friendships.

This blog will serve as an information point on both Equality issues in general and some of the topics we will discuss in February, and as a reference about the week’s visit. The programme will be published here, as will the groups of people who will work together.

It would be great if we could get as many people as possible to contribute to the blog. Everyone is welcome to write posts or comments. To do this, simply send an email of the content you would like to see to equalopportunitiesforall@googlemail.com You can also send pictures as attachments which will be uploaded.

Ideally, each person taking part will write a few words to introduce themselves and maybe send a photo so you can get to know each other before you arrive. This can be arranged in your groups if you prefer. You could also write a few words about your region and include photos you have taken.

If there is anything else that you would like to see on the site, email the address equalopportunitiesforall@googlemail.com and it will be considered.

Hope to hear from you all soon.
