{{789}}
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.
