News from AEGEE
A Co-Management System for Youth inside the European Institutions
On June 5th and 6th AEGEE-Europe and AEGEE-Brussels organised an event
with other youth organisations and experts to discuss the feasibility and
possible structure of Co-Management in the European Institutions with youth
representatives on youth issues. The conference, co-funded by the Youth in
Action Programme, was hosted by MEP Hannes Swoboda in the European
Parliament.
With the input of experts, the participants from AEGEE and other Youth NGOs
planned for 2 days what kind of structure they would like to see, in which
institution it would be and which competences it should have.
Such a structure for co-management would allow us to co-design programmes
such as ERASMUS and Youth for Action from the start, co-decide on the
strategic priorities of youth issues and have an influence on the
allocation of budget of related issues.
The results will now be presented to the member organsations of the
European Youth Forum to gain a wider support. Afterwards, the lobby process
with European and national stakeholder will start. We'll keep you informed!
Eastern Partnership Project Meeting
The Eastern Partnership Project team held a two-day meeting in the CD
house, with 9 enthusiastic team members. The first part of Eastern
Partnership Project will come to the end in December 2013, but the team
decided to continue with the second phase of the EaP Project right from
January. However their calendar in 2013 is not empty either! In the end of
September and beginning of October the participants of „Eastern Partnership
Express” will travel from Kaunas to Chişinău via Minsk, Kyiv and Lviv by
train for 10 days. 20 people will have the possibility to take part in our
experience and participate in thematic discussions and workshops. From 2014
we will have new aims, a new team and new priorities. So if you are
interested in the political culture and if you want to discover the role of
women in EaP societies or just generally want to know more about Belarus,
Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia stay tuned for more
informations!
Membership Growth Project
AEGEE has been selected to take part in the 2-year-long Membership Growth
Project of the European Youth Forum. The project consists of a year long
observation and planning period, where all the human resources and mainly
the membership growth related challenges of the organization (both on
European and local level) are analysed and another year of preparation and
implementation of changes within an incremental process and with a
bottom-up approach. After an internal AEGEE open call, AEGEE-Bratislava and
AEGEE-Grodno were selected to participate in the trainings, but the
intention is to involve a bigger part of our Network and to have a
substantial, positive change in our organisation.
The first meeting was held in Antwerpen between 12-16 June with the
participation of AEGEE, YEU, ACTIVE and YEU with the participation of
various European representatives. On behalf of AEGEE, Bea (CD), Elena (HRC)
and Zuzana and Lucia (AEGEE-Bratislava) worked there during the fruitful
meeting.

Environmental destruction must become a crime
Do you remember the workshop of the Environmental Working Group (EnWG)
about Ending Ecocide or the speech in the closing plenary of Agora Budapest
by Polly Higgins? At this Spring Agora Rhein-Neckar, Prisca Merz from
AEGEE-Passau and Director of End Ecocide in Europe was the person who
reminded us that the main idea of their initiative is intriguingly simple:
Environmental destruction must become a crime. The following interview was
conducted by Laia Garcia Montufo, PR of the EnWG, during the Agora Rhein
Neckar.

What if youth could participate directly in EU decisions?
This was the question that we wanted to debate at the conference held by
AEGEE on June 5th and 6th in the European Parliament, where different
Belgian and European NGOs had the opportunity to discuss the possibilities
for Co-Management in the European institutions, together with
representatives from the European Commission, the European Parliament, the
Council of Europe and its Advisory Council on Youth, and the European Youth
Forum. The event was hosted by the MEP Hannes Swoboda, who is also
President of the S&D Group in the European Parliament and financed by the
Youth in Action Grant. AEGEE-Brussel/Bruxelles was organising the
conference together with AEGEE-Europe.

Stepping up for AEGEE in NWM Lviv
Do you believe that every city has its own soul? If so, you might agree
that it also has its own temper and unique attitude toward citizens and
tourists. Lviv – a city in western Ukraine, former capital of the
historical region of Galicia, is now considered one of the main cultural
centres of Ukraine.

How running a marathon can help people
There were 42 students. There were 42 kilometers. And there were 42
thousands Zlotych to be collected. All to help the girl named Asia, whose
unfortunate accident caused her to lose a leg. The admirable idea was born
in AEGEE-Kraków and was called “42 km to happiness”. All thanks to a 42
kilometers long marathon route that our heroes decided to overpower. But
let’s start at the beginning.

Beyond AEGEE
Fill in the Survey on Visas and Residence Permits and help to remove
obstacles in mobility!
Have you ever needed to apply for a visa? The European Commission is
revision the current Visa Directive and the European Youth Forum is
lobbying for a more accessible Europe.
As we have members not only in EU countries and strongly wish to improve
their situation when entering the European Union, we believe that it's
necessary to collect as much feedback as possible. The more answers we get,
the better basis for our lobbying we will have.
