The [[Project 888|888 project]] was a success. Let's make it look ridiculous compared to the 2009 edition. On '''07/08/09''', hitchhikers from all over the world will converge on a location that is still secret (because we haven't decided yet). ===Philosophy===
Please feel free to add your ideas and help organizing the 2nd hitchhiking European week. ===Where===At the meeting on the last day of [[888]], the general consensus was that the location had to move East, after [[Paris]]. If possible outside of the 15 original EU member-states. '''Ukraine ''' was given a lot of attention because it is the only country in Europe where Schengen Zone Europeans, Ukrainians, Moldovans, Bielorussians, Russians and Turks can come together (though it is hard for hitchhikers from outside Europe to get a visa, they generally need an invitation letter). Check [[789/Vote|Votes]] for the discussions about it.

The [[Project 888|888 project]] was a success. Let's make it look ridiculous compared to the 2009 edition. On '''07/08/09''', hitchhikers from all over the world will converge on a location in [[Ukraine]], [[Eastern Europe]].
Please feel free to add your ideas and help organizing the 2nd hitchhiking European week.
At the pre-meeting on the last day of 888, there was consensus on the fact that the event is more to promote the concept of Hitch-hiking rather than to all meet up somewhere and have a good time. This is why the proposal of meeting outside a city was ruled out: we want to be seen by strangers.
We need to pick a place where many people can come without visas and where we have a local organizer.
[[Kosovo ]] was also given a lot of attention for that matter but also because we have a great local correspondent there and it can be a great opportunity for us to promote peace and hitchhiking in a region that needs such action.
Any location within the [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/SchengenAgreement_map.svg [Schengen spaceAgreement]] will make it close to impossible for the non-Schengen people to join. Plus the price of life in Schengen Space can be unaffordable for a lot of us.

The two main concerns raised at the 888-last-day-meeting were:
*Female HH safety in the country of arrival and in the "impossible to go around" countries.
*The necessity of having a local coordinator/ support.
