South American Servas Meeting

at the triple border area Argentina/Paraguay/Brazil.
An invitation is being e-mailed to all South American Servas members, and the meeting agenda will be planned in a way to attract regular Servas members, as well as South American key people. The official language of the meeting will be Spanish.
The meeting is planned to happen in 2 parts:
- Part 1: in Eldorado (province of Misiones), Argentina (Oct 13 – 16)
- Part 2: Ciudad del Este, Paraguay (Oct 17 – 18)
During Part 1, from Oct 13 until 15, the South American meeting will happen together with Servas Argentina National Meeting. For these days, Servas Argentina is organizing 2 days for discussions and 1 day for a local excursion and co-fraternization. On Oct 16th we are planning to cover Servas International topics (focused on the South American national groups needs).
During Part 2, from Oct 17 until 18, the meeting will happen at Ciudad del Este, Paraguay (120 km from Eldorado, bordering the Argentinean town of Iguazu and the Brazilian town of Foz do Iguacu), and will happen together with Servas Paraguay National Meeting. Some Paraguayan Servas members are helping us in organizing the event at Ciudad del Este. During these 2 days we will be discussing topics related to the development of Servas Paraguay and to the development of Servas at the triple border area. We will also discuss the needs and developmental work of the South American national groups that will be present at the meeting.
