First PES action week a success!
In several European cities, PES activists supported the PES child care campaign
PES action weeks are the perfect tool to build up common team spirit between all PES activists. City groups from all over Europe are invited to join in and campaign on one common topic.
The first PES action week has taken place in April 2007. PES activists were invited to contribute to our PES campaign on child care or to organize an event based on the PES campaign on child care.
