Novembre (1999): Avec le COFRADE, dont l'association ?VEIL
est membre, participation au 20?me anniversaire de la CIDE
(Convention Internationale des Droits de l'Enfant) ? La
Villette, et lancement ? cette occasion d'un journal
participatif pour les jeunes sur le site Internet de
l'association, SCRIBUS.

Seems like they used the site for puplishing a collaborative
journal for youngsters, maybe only for this occation (20th
anniversary of The Declaration of Rights for Children).
