Dear Network,
The last few days have been sad days for Europe - first, another terrorist
attack hit Turkey once again, this time in Istanbul. Secondly, the attacks
in  Brussels last Tuesday. In both cases, our thoughts and prayers are with
the victims and their families. We condemn the attacks and stand strong
against violence and fear, which can never be a solution.

However, we also got the great news that 1,114 people have applied for one
of our biggest statutory events in a long time, Spring Agora Bergamo! Do
not hesitate to check the pre-events in the area, and many other
opportunities where you can take part. As always, we wish you a nice
reading of this newsletter issue!

Europeanly yours,

*the Comité Directeur 2015-2016*
Aleksandra, Ander, Anna, Maryana, Pablo, Réka & Svenja

Working Group has been promoting debating throughout the year. Today we are
taking the debate online

Six Things AEGEEans Always Say
Members of AEGEE…* these legendary creatures with their own rituals that
they might be as a sect *(minus the mystic leader). We are aware that we
use a different language full of abbreviations, so here are six things that
we always say

And if you’ve never said or heard them, either you are not in AEGEE or last
time you were in an AEGEE event was when dinosaurs walked the earth.
