That polls go up and down in politics is not unheard off but is part of the given in politics. However, when low polls are turned into a low voter turnout and ultimately not making it into parliament, the problems starts. Either you fight back, stronger and better or vanish for good. This ELF seminar will focus on the story of the liberal fight back and how young liberals from all over Europe can learn from and be empowered by the experience of in particular the FDP. The seminar, organised by European Liberal Forum with the support of LYMEC, is preceding the LYMEC Spring Congress. On Thursday evening we are invited to join JuLis Berlin for a Cultural Evening at FDP Berlin's office. Draft programme:

  The fee for congress and seminar, including accommodation Thursday-Sunday and meals, is 140 euro. The application deadline will be on 16^th of February, 23:59 CET. Applications are to be submitted through the registration form. You have to be logged in to register. Member organisations should clearly indicate the order of preference (priority) of the delegates if they register two. Please note that there are limited spaces for the seminar, and we can only guarantee one representative per organisation. We are therefore also only accepting a maximum of two registrations per member organisation. LYMEC reserves the right to charge a late cancellation fee (up to € 75) for all cancellations made later than 2 weeks ahead of congress. Thus, any cancellation after Friday the 23rd of March is subject to a fee. Moreover, LYMEC charges a no-show fee (€ 100) for no-shows and cancellations later than 48 hours prior to the event. Any late cancellations and no shows are potentially occupying the spots for people on the waiting list and are a financial burden for LYMEC. Please note that the accommodation will be in twin/double rooms. If you have a preferred roommate, please let us know when registering (there is a section for comments in the registrations form). Please also note that there is a separate registration for the congress!
