Social Inclusion" followed by several parallel sessions focusing on Mental
Health, Youth Inclusion, Gender Equality and Social Inclusion.

all the participants started drafting the *Action Agenda of the new

*Eastern Partnership+ Has A New Project!*

EaP+ is looking for *you*!

Ukrainian cities are full of motivated and inspired people who are eager to
create something new and we are here to unlock their potential. A motivated
team of people from different places and bodies is already on it.

*What is happening?*

Ukraine, a big country within Europe with little AEGEE representation. Do
you want to change it?
Perfect, so do we! We are here to unlock their potential. In this project
we want to send a team of AEGEEans as ambassadors to different cities
throughout the country. We want to bring the AEGEE spirit to these cities
to found new contacts there. For this we search for a team willing to
organise the project itself.

*Who are we looking for?* For someone who is ready to...

   - Have regular skype calls with the whole team
   - Identify potential places for new contacts
   - Get in touch with universities, other organizations and partners
   - Identify potential funding for the project
   - Help to find the final team going to Ukraine (or even to go by
   yourself)
   - Assist the traveling ambassadors as well as the local contacts in the
   respective cities during the whole trip, the preparation and the aftermath

We are looking forward to hearing from you!

Don't just be part of AEGEE - *shape it!*
