N° 73 | October 2019 NEWS  CALENDAR  FOCUS ON
With the turn of the seasons, we’d like to take the time to reflect back on the different activities and events that took place over these past few months.

Mid-July, children all across the Alps and Carpathians were immersed in an imaginative world as they discovered the mountains through Youth at the Top’s common theme ‘Myth and Mountain Legends’. Scroll down to read a first-hand experience of the event and to check out some videos from participating organizations. Make sure to keep an eye out for the Youth at the Top official video!

The main effort these last few months has been to prepare for the final events of two Interreg projects: ALPBIONET2030 and YOUrALPS. Come discover the state of ecological connectivity in the Alps at the ALBIONET2030 Final Conference from October 8th – 9th in Chamonix, France. The YOUrALPS Final Conference will follow suit from October 10th – 11th in Chambéry, France. It will be a great opportunity to discover Mountain-oriented Education and to meet involved partners and youth from Germany, Italy, France and Slovenia.

Happy reading and we hope to see you at the final events next week!
