As RYE specialists, we always have our youth in focus. But sometimes we are far removed from the daily reality of our youth and we don´t even recognize it. Learn from experienced Rotex volunteers how the young organization works worldwide and how it could enrich and simplify your work in RYE in your task areas. A guide to founding and building Rotex in your district. Facilitators: Felix Dumschat, Jan Betz, Helen Salminen, and Shang-Han Lee
