European Words is waiting for YOU!

Dear European friends,

Last month you have been able to read the first edition of European Words, the new online magazine about students’ life in Europe, written by students, written for students!

In June we will publish European Words volume 2 and for this edition the European Words team is still looking for articles!

Do you want to share your way of living in your country and home town with the rest of Europe? Do you want to tell other European students what it’s like to be a medical student in your country? Then start writing and send us your article! Your article can be a report, a column, an interview or whatever you think will be interesting and fun to read for other European medical students.

Please send your article – with a maximum of 500 words - before 15 June 2009 to europeanwords@gmail.com.
Do you want to do more than just writing an article for European Words? European Words is looking for new team members, who will review the articles we receive, write their own articles and help develop the whole concept of European Words to grow to an even bigger level! We are also looking for a webmaster to create the new European Words website, which will be available soon.
Do you want to become part of the European Words team? Please send us an email with a short introduction and motivation at europeanwords@gmail.com. The deadline to apply is 15 June 2009!

This is 7days international training project and every year we hold this event somewhere in Asia. Because as you know, our region has the biggest damage from natural disasters yearly. We have earthquakes, typhoons, tsunami and many others.

In ACTION09 we are going to focus on Infectious Diseases issue. Especially last several years, we faced some important and difficult infectious diseases and they may be happen or expand due to natural disasters. Also we also study disaster management. We are trying to educate people who can be a leader to be able to manage the community and country where disaster happens.
