According to the CHARTER of the B7 ISLANDS NETWORK "Workgroups are the working bodies of the B7 and set up ...
... to help the B7 realise the objectives of their strategy;
... to develop the B7 network throughout the islands by acting as the link between the B7 and grass roots organisations, public institutions, societies, and associations etc of the islands.
The B7 Workgroups provide the contact network between the islands and carry out initiatives and projects of common interest to the islands."
The People-to-People WG is a working group of B7 Baltic Islands Network. Representatives from the seven Baltic Sea member islands regularly meet to contribute to a better understanding and to closer cooperation between the people in the Baltic Sea area.
We work to ...
... to spread knowledge about B7 islands,
... to support existing contacts between people from our islands and to initiate new
contacts
by focusing on YOUTH and CULTURE and implementing our main projects
... B7 Games project,
... B7 Youth Camps,
... Art&Culture projects,
in order to reach the goals of our work:
... to support tolerance and intercultural understanding,
... to stop young people from leaving the islands, motivate them to come back and
stay.
