=== STORY ===
A small group of enthusiastic travelers had decided to organize the first European Hitch-hiking Week.
The [[Project 888|888 project]] aim was to give one location and one time for a success. Let's make rally, and broadcast it look ridiculous compared to all the 2009 editionhitch-hikers of the world. On '''07The place was decided to be the "Champs de Mars" in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France; and the time 10pm on the 08/08/09'''08, hitchhikers from all over hence the world will converge on a location that is still secret (because we haven't decided yet)name of "Project 888".
==Philosophy==At 150 people showed up from all around Europe and stayed for the pre3 days week-meeting on the last day of 888, there end. It was consensus on the fact that the event is more to promote the concept of Hitch-hiking rather than to all meet up somewhere and have a good very intense time. This is why the proposal of meeting outside a city was ruled out: we want to be seen by strangersexchange, smiles, and french wine.We need And they continue to pick meet every year in a different place where many people can come without visas and where we have a local organizer.
Please feel free 2008 : The [[Project 888|888 project]] On ''' 08/08/08''' , hitchhikers from all over the world converged to add your ideas and help organizing Paris, for the 2nd hitchhiking European first european hitchiking week. ** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJj1oWlVJTY See the trailer of the documentary project] ** [http://www.flickr.com/groups/paris-888/pool/ Some pics there].
==Where==At the meeting on the last day of 2009 : The [http://www.the789project.com/ 789 project]. On '''07/08/09''', Hitchikers meet again in [[Odessa]] in [[888Ukraine]], the general consensus was that the location had to move East, after Paris[[Eastern Europe]].** [http://picasaweb.google.ru/lucysd/Project789HitchHikersMeetingInOdessa# Some pics there][http://www.facebook. If possible outside of the 15 original EU member-statescom/photo. Ukraine was given a lot of attention because it is the only country in Europe where Schengen Zone Europeans, Ukrainians, Moldovans, Bielorussians, Russians and Turks can come together (though it is hard for hitchhikers from outside Europe to get a visa, they generally need an invitation letter)php?pid=30374597&id=1179685978&comments&alert#/photo. php?pid=74054&id=100000083394199&ref=mf On facebook also]
Kosovo was also given 2010 : Let's choose a lot of attention for that matter but also because new destination ! Helsinki ? Moscou ? Where ever you want ! Just some importants things have to been said : ** We need to pick a place where many people can come without visas and where we have a great local correspondent there and it organizer.** The necessity of having a local coordinator/support, like an HH club can be a great opportunity for us to promote peace and hitchhiking in a region that needs such actionthe best.
Any location within === PHILOSOPHY ===From the [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/SchengenAgreement_map.svg Schengen space] will make it close 888 to the 789, hitchikers think that the event is more to impossible for promote the nonconcept of Hitch-Schengen people hiking rather than to joinall meet up somewhere and have a good time and just drink. Plus This is why the price proposal of life meeting outside a city was ruled out: we want to be seen by strangers and make some actions in Schengen Space can be unaffordable the city ; for example at the 789 in Odessa, we have done a lot of usflashmobs about hitchiking to somewhere special and next try to get a lift to the event's place.
===Other ContinentsNew fancy name for 2010?===Some of us will be stuck across vast oceans, without the time, resources, or simply ability to hitch/travel to wherever the final destination for 7/8/9 is. The thought of a second gathering (in this particular case, North America) has been brought up. Should this be kept within the same discussion as 7/8/9, or moved Moved to a totally separate event?:I heard rumors that some people are planning a brother/sister- whatever meeting in the states on 7/8/9. But take care, it's not 8/7/9, or the other way around. Let's say, 7 August, 2008. --[[User:Platschi|Platschi6810/Name]] 18:02, 27 January 2009 (UTC)::I guess you mean 7.August '''2009''' [[User:Fabzgy|Fabzgy]] 09:36, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
