In March 2007 the European Youth Campaign all different - all equal will start in Austria! Young people will campaign for Diversity, Human rights and Participation.
The Campaign is coordinated by the Austrian National Youth Council, who works together with several partners across Austria. The main elements of the Campaign are:

The myspace-Site www.myspace.com/alleandersallegleich is another possibility to "link" oneself to the Campaign and show support for all different - all equal.
MMS- and E-Mail-Foto-Action „Wir sind Vielfalt"/"We are Diversity"
