Dear friends of liberty,
Summer is coming. It is the time of fooling around and overwhelming boredom only for loafers, freeloaders and shirkers. It is the time for recharging, reshaping and updating your brain power and your soul vitality.
On August 16 – 21, 2010 Scientific Research Mises Center (Belarus) with its Ukrainian and German partners are honored to invite you to take part in the Belarusian-Ukrainian Summer Liberty Camp. It is our traditional event but this time is it in Ukraine. It is set in a different environment with new partners, new stimulating young guys from Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova.
The Odessa Liberty Camp is for those who are enthusiastic activists of freedom movement and who promote liberty in everyday life. The Summer Liberty Camp is not for showing off just once a year in the pleasant environment. It is a reward for intellectual integrity and social activism.
