In preparation for the workshop, participants will be asked to respond to a questionnaire about their projects on environment and health issues. In particular, participants will be asked to provide more information on how their activities are related to the implementation of the Children’s Environment and Health Action Plan for Europe (CEHAPE) as well as the environmental acquis communautaire in the perspective of EU accession in 2007. The objective would be to have some of the experiences and case studies from local NGOs presented and discussed at the workshop. In addition, these case studies will be included and published both in the final report of the workshop and in EPHA Environment Network CEHAPE implementation website (www.cehape.env-health.org).
