Dear coeliac people from all over Europe,
The new Beat the Wheat blog is officially launched! This year has been very important to rethink and shape the future of this project, so there is a lot of news we’d like to talk about in our first post.
More than six years ago, in late 2012, the editorial team of Beat the Wheat published the bulletin’s first issue. Since then new volunteers joined the project and we’ve edited many other numbers (all of them are available in the BTW’s archive), but we’ve always used the same style and publishing platform. For this reason we thought it was time to bring some fresh air into the project.
After discussing the proposal with the delegates at last year’s CYE assembly in Budapest, we decided to change the format of Beat the Wheat. We’re not going to publish it as a four-month based online bulletin anymore, but instead we’ll turn it into a blog. The articles will be posted both on the CYE website and on the CYE’s official social network pages, Facebook and Instagram.
We’d like to say a big thank you to all the volunteers that were involved in the development of this project since the beginning and also to those who will keep it alive in the future, even after the current editorial team leaves.
The main aim of Beat the Wheat will be the same: collecting and editing articles from as many countries as possible to tell the stories of coeliacs people around the world. In order to do that, we’ll need your help to send us your personal experiences. Don’t worry if your English isn’t perfect, we’ll be happy to revise your pieces before we publish them!
To reach us you just need to write to: editors.beat.the.wheat@gmail.com. Every contribution is welcome!
Keep following the new Beat the Wheat blog!
Greetings,
The Editorial Team
