Network of national representatives
Europe consists of many countries, especially since the early nineties, when many countries in Eastern Europe and the former Yugoslavia became independent.
Since the 5th European Conference of ICEVI in Cracow, we have now in 50 countries a national representative. He/She will help us to provide information about activities in their country on the National Page. Read also the job description of the national representatives.

|---|---|
| less than 20 milions | 1 national representative |
| more than 20 and less than 50 milions | 2 national representatives |
| more than 50 milions | 3 national representative |
This means that all countries have 1 national representative, except countries with more than one national representative:
