1. The creation.

NEUROMEDIA, it is the story of three friends, all of a different nationality, all students, all, just older than 18.

The first goal, that remains today one of priorities of the association, was the prevention against AIDS for young people in Europe. For the « medical » and the « mediatic » goal of the project we chose the name of NEUROMEDIA for « neuron » and « media ».

The success of the project was weak. The classic objection was the difference of culture that prevented all bringing together of prevention programs, and probably also, to the time, the weakness of the organization and the youth of its leaders.

On 1994, two years after its creation, one decides to widen goals of the association. Scouts are the only worldwide youth association, the large associations are more often federations of federations and others have humanitarian, caritative, mystical goals or ask some expensive membership. It doesn't exist a versatile organization where the membership is free and free of charge.  It will be the goal of NEUROMEDIA.

Statutes are modified to face new missions and to different laws. After a time of transition, NEUROMEDIA INTERNATIONAL was created as the head of network of all other sections.

2. Achievements.

NEUROMEDIA has today a clear goal. Among the four elements of this last some initiatives have been succeeded more that of others. All base itself on a type of compliant international relation to the slogan « Notre monde est sans frontières » or more meaningful « Our borders have no frontiers ».

            2.1. Inter-human relations.

It is most important achievement of our group. It began with the establishment of the classic « pen friendship ».

                        2.1.1. The Pen friendship.

This way of relation stays very popular and NEUROMEDIA proposes an efficient service free of charge.

Many requests have been made to correspond by Internet and by radio (CB).

                        2.1.2. The Journey.

For the meantime only one proposition is made. It is a journey of about 20 days on July and on August New York Washington DC Los Angeles. This journey by Amtrack, the American railroad company corresponds to will of members wanting to discover one of the most attractive nation of the world.

NEUROMEDIA USA, one of the most powerful sections, negotiates prices of hotel and train to tightest, is in charge of the change, visas and the accompaniment together with the other sections. There is one bilingual member per sections.

Before the success of this program and the request of many Asian and African members, a journey in the European Union is under survey.

The European Union is a semi-unified system. The problem of visas is partially solved. However it remains the problem of languages, exchange and the choice of the journey with the problem of the United Kingdom and Ireland which won't adopt the EURO and don't apply Schengen Agreements. The setting up of a program would have to make itself enough quickly.

Canada, the Latino America and Oceania are to the program. The situation in South African Republic doesn't allow opening a program.

Unfortunately the air ticket is not negotiable for our organization considering the diversity of members’ participants as for their place of departure. This fact gives back the journey impossible for a lot of our members.

NEUROMEDIA is not a travel company. If it organizes such programs that is to allow members to meet. It is often that some meet again each year, that some meet their pen friends, that some create professional relations, friendship, or even love.

For some this moment is the only opportunity to meet their friends and to spend one moment out of their daily problems.

                        2.1.3. The international meetings.

It is the consecration of the inter-human relation system. The first edition was organized by NEUROMEDIA UNITED KINGDOM and NEUROMEDIA IRELAND, a symbol, took place in London (GB) on December 1997.

The second will take place on August 1998 at Vancouver (CDN) and will be organized by NEUROMEDIA CANADA and NEUROMEDIA USA in conjunction with the journey.

Members met by interest and could have organized their activities a lot more.

            2.2. Relations Inter-groups.

For NEUROMEDIA it is important to have contacts and collaborations with organizations contributing to actions that it leads.

                        2.2.1. AIDS.

NEUROMEDIA is member of EuroCASO, the network of the NGO working in the prevention of AIDS as well as YOUTH AND AIDS. We also participated in PLAY SAFE IN EUROPE organized by AMARC-Europe and CSV MEDIA.

                        2.2.2. Racism and Discrimination.

NEUROMEDIA is also very active in the domain of racism. As for AIDS, we organize regularly debates and a report has been published for the opening of the division for xenophobia on 1995 in the context of the program of the Council of Europe « All different All Equal». The investment of the organization in these questions is due to the personality of the American-South-African division director, Carolyne Hunter.

NEUROMEDIA is member of UNITED FOR INTERCULTURAL ACTION, STARTING POINT and the INTERNATIONAL LESBIAN AND GAY ASSOCIATION. It has ties with the CLONG.

From 14 to 22 March 1998, NEUROMEDIA organized the First international week of action against racism. Conferences have been organized in London (GB), Montreal (QC, CND), New York (NY, USA) and Pretoria (ZA). The debate on the citizenship was very important. The Schengen Convention and the « communautarisation » of the politics of immigration by Amsterdam Treaty was dealt. A report has been published for UNITED.

                        2.2.3. Europe.

The European construction is important for NEUROMEDIA. NEUROMEDIA was participant for the public hearings of the European parliament in 1995. It was member of contact groups on the E.E.I.G and of the General States of the Civil Society of the EU. It publishes a bulletin on the question, The State of the Union, and numerous contributions.

____________________

Members that belong to these divisions meet for meetings in local section and for the international meetings or international meetings since 1997.

            2.3. Inter-professional relations.

NEUROMEDIA as association of youth is attached to the professional training. It encourages contacts in the same way between its members with the same training through its thematic orientation (General Directorates/divisions) and allows some fruitful professional associations.

                        2.3.1. Commercial representations.

This activity allows the qualified people to represent an organization, or even a person in a country where it/she/he doesn't have any representatives and where, by definition, NEUROMEDIA has some. This representation is paying. A part is reinvested in actions of the association. NEUROMEDIA uses arrangements of the French law of 1901 to have the possibility to take a part of the payment. Indeed, it takes no tax from its members and have not many contributions. Nevertheless, not to break the equality, the members in charge of these missions have right to a payment. The main advantage is the professional experience, NEUROMEDIA not being a structure dedicated to the trade.

For this activity NEUROMEDIA is member of the Office of Bringing together of Enterprises of the European Union (BRE) and of Transatlantic Electronic Exchange Service (TIES).

                        2.3.2. Laws'Links and L.S.I. LoveSexIntelligence.

It is for this reason that Laws'Links founded on 1998 should detach itself progressively of NEUROMEDIA since this structure is charged of legal advice and international commercial arbitration.

The membership in this division requires making the proof of 2 years of legal studies.

L.S.I.LoveSexIntelligence is in a similar situation.

            2.4. Inter-media relations.

This sector is in full development within our organization. We have good relations with the C.F.H.S Communication Inc. in Canada and with GENERATION MEDIA INC. in the United States of America.

                        2.4.1. GENERATION TELEVISION.

GENERATION TELEVISION will be launched on the North American territory, on Oceania and on Europe since 1999. The program of this international TV (satellite, cable and LPTV) is made by and for the international young people of 15 to 30 years.

GENERATION TELEVISION has for priority to invest in the new technologies and to be ready for the convergence.

Its interactive web server will allow its viewers to converse between them and with the channel without software another one that a navigator. Besides programs will be available in RealAudio and a large part in real video, particularly its broadcast on the new technologies.

The programs, some program translation in French particularly, the musical and film information, of the channel and of others organisms, will be available Internet, by teletext, by enrollment, by E-mail.

A service of contact and announcements between viewers will be available.

The important diagrams will be reduced to allow connections of low debit and machines little powerful to get a fast service.

Parts no interactive and informative will be fully available by teletext.

GENERATION TELEVISION also foresees to support the connection to Internet by the cable and the satellite and to develop interactively.

                        2.4.2. C.F.H.S Communication Inc.

The C.F.H.S Communication is a Canadian organization that produces broadcasts of radios for the north-American distributors.

NEUROMEDIA considers that the musical choice is very important in Europe and elsewhere and because of the politics of disk companies more than of the linguistic differences, some singers cannot be distributed beyond of their borders. The championship of the Eurovision is meaningful. This year, it’s not an English language song that won it. NEUROMEDIA wants with the C.F.H.S Communication allow the improvement of the musical diversity.
