The objective of this blog is to do some brainstorming about the Advocating Liberty in Europe Project (ALEP). For example:
- As a liberty activist, what sort of knowledge and know-how do you need in situation?
- As a potential reader, what do you expect to find in this kind of manual?
- As a liberty observer, do you know some experienced European liberty advocates, activists and experts who could share their feedback and tips within the framework of ALEP?

I will keep you informed about the advancement of ALEP via collective email on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=124271735444&ref=ts

Please post here your ideas and comments in a constructive way and invite your concerned friends to visit this blog!

There will also be a great number of inserts written by liberty advocates and activists presenting important tips, small case studies, concise methodologies, examples of advocacy actions, and so on.

VI Resource Directory
   1 Index of organizations by program country
   2 Ideas for tomorrow
   3 A brief history of Europe
   4 Selected references

- Today’s free market and individual liberty resources are often North American. In spite of their excellence, they only cover European issues from time to time and they sometimes develop analyses that have a limited echo on this side of the Atlantic because of cultural and institutional differences;

- Given the present hatching of connections among Europeans advocates, this manual will be a good way to discover, learn about and exchange with our fellow liberty activists about our past experiences, present ideas and future projects.

The initial “casting” was made through the outstanding networks of the Atlas Economic Research Foundation and the Stockholm Network.

The directory will include descriptions and contact information for the organizations that support liberty advocacy through 7 main areas of work: Power behind the throne, Funding, Networking, Capacity building, Policy analysis and research, Litigation, and Contestation/Agit-prop.

I am searching for additional organizations and I NEED YOU to share your knowledge based on years of activism across Europe! I especially need the name and contact of small and medium groups (students’ club, campus newsletter, Internet forums, editors, thinking circles, web agencies, businesses and so on).

Here is my draft list of the European organizations which promote individual liberties and free market. Please help me to complete it!
