AEGEE Identity – Who are we?

Maria Arends who is the subcommie of the Nordic Stars team responsible of the UK locals would like to make you aware of a survey that has been sent by the Comité Directeur lately. It is about the identity of AEGEE, which is, as you may know, a hot topic. The problem that we are facing is that nobody is really able to describe in a couple of words what AEGEE is and what we do. “I believe that it is very important that this is going to be defined, because it would make it so much easier for your campaigns or people that are interested to join your locals to explain them what AEGEE is and what it is that they can do. And why, of course, they should join your wonderful antennae!” Maria says with a smile when communicating with AEGEE-Sheffield, AEGEE-Durham and AEGEE-London.

Basically, it is not a hard survey, and the link can be found here:

Please share it with your members also, as there is a bonus… The local with the most respondents gets the opportunity to spend a weekend at the CD house. The tickets are not included, but they do provide you a city tour and make you familiar with their work, the house and for sure you will have a good time! You can fill it in until June 6th!

Join the NetCom team and attend the “Strengthening ties and cooperation between European youth” conference in Croatia!

What do you know about Croatia other than they have this very hot summer anthem that crazy netcommies like to dance along to? Something you should know is that Croatia is joining the EU soon and that AEGEE-Europe has established a partnership with the DG Enlargemen  of the European Commission. They are currently working together on the organization of a big Youth Conference in Zagreb which will  take place from 24th to 26th of June 2013, to welcome Croatia as new Member State of the European Union!

 

And you can go to the conference as well! This conference is the result of a cooperation between the  European Commission, AEGEE-Europe, the European Youth Forum and   European Youth Press.  The conference will debate on the accession of the new members state,  and about “Strengthening ties and cooperation between European youth”

As you might have soon on ANNOUNCE-L and/or on the mailing list of the Nordic Stars there are many places avaliable for AEGEE people!  (Accommodation and flights are 100% covered).

 So if you have not done it yet then please apply ASAP, because the first people to apply will be the ones getting the places.

The conference will count in total with 200 places to be shared among all the youth organisations. So be fast!

Here,   you can find the invitation letter, draft programme of the      conference and the registration form which you have to fill in and send before tomorrow – 30th of May to                  Philipp.Weber@grayling.com.

Events Newsletter May 2013

Hi everybody,

Despite not being focused on much since the first events newsletter in January then we in your local NetCom team would like to continue with the idea. Hopefully a monthly newsletter will encourage you and your members to take part in more events.

We would like to see that every month a local is responsible of making an events newsletter so that you, the members will be reminded of how many great events that we AEGEE members have the opportunity to apply to.

So have a look at the tempting upcoming events here:
