Location

The European Youth Centre is located at the beautiful Lake Werbellin about 60 km north of Berlin in Germany.

Food

All diets will be asked for (they will be asked in the registration). Food is passed out in two cantinas. It will be marked on your nametag to which cantina you have to go.

No nametag, no food.

Nametag

Each of you will get a name tag, providing you with your personal program and a map of the campsite. You will have to wear that name tag through the entire YES, because we need to identify you. You will not get any food in the cantinas without showing your nametag to the YES staff.

Telephone

There is one coin / card phone at the site. Only Euro coins will be accepted.

Money

You will probably need some money to buy yourself a drink or a snack in the YES café, therefore you need cash in Euro. There is no possibility on the grounds to retrieve cash, and Credit Cards are not accepted – so be sure to get some cash before you arrive!

Curfew

At 23:00 is has to be quiet on the grounds. Please respect this. There are many of your fellow students who want a good night’s sleep. If you feel like partying, the YES-café is just the right place for you!

Alcohol

Wine and beer will be sold in the YES-café. Everything else is prohibited. Liquor and other strong alcohol will be confiscated and used for cleaning the toilets.

The YES Cafe

The YES Café is the social meeting point at the YES. It will be open during free time and will offer you drinks, snacks, good music and a lot of fun.

Mobile phone

In Germany the GSM mobile system is installed, which is the European standard. Most European mobile phones should work there. However, it might be that your personal SIM card is restricted to a single country. Check this with your network provider before you arrive to Germany.

Compulsory Program

With your registration at YES you registered for the entire program. All program topics are compulsory - you have to attend all workshops, plenary sessions and other official activities on the program.

Remember

• You have to carry your entire luggage by yourself. If you travel by plane, remember that most airlines accept only one piece of luggage of up to 20 kg and one piece a carry-on baggage up to 8 kg. Overweight luggage is very expensive!
• You might want to buy a drink/snack at the YES café or purchase a nice YES 2008 T-shirt. For this you will need cash in Euro. As there are no ATMs on the site, and Credit Cards are not accepted, be sure to retrieve some money before you arrive!
• We would like to stress that you need to bring a TOWEL, as there are no towels provided by the campsite. There is also a lake at the site where you can swim! You do not need to bring any bed sheets.
• Travel from your host country to the YES will be organized by the YFU national organization in your host country.
• Travel from the YES back home will be organized by YFU national organization in your home country
