NEWS <http:>

*Announcement - COVID-19*

During these extremely difficult and unprecedented times, we want to
express *our sympathies to all those affected* by the COVID-19 virus. ⠀
⠀
With ever-changing conditions, we highly recommend everyone to follow
official local or national news sources for up-to-date information in your
area. Furthermore, we echo the wide call for self-care and taking
preventive *measures as advised* by the World Health Organisation
<http://who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public%E2%A0%80>
.
⠀
As for our organisation, *AEGEE has cancelled all its European events and
closed the Head office for work or visits until at least April 12th*.
Furthermore, the application period for the Summer Universities has been
postponed by one month, awaiting further evaluation in the coming weeks. We
stand by our volunteers who until the last moment were putting their heart
and soul into trying to organise their events, however considering the
current situation, there was no other choice. ⠀
⠀
We applaud all the innovative ideas that our members and project teams have
been coming up with to prevent social isolation or a complete stop of
action. We are exploring online participation and the continuation of
certain events and will do everything we can to support students and young
people around the continent.

*CoopStarter 2.0 Survey*

Here <https://bit.ly/2PPGQO4> you can find the survey, which is conducted
by *AEGEE-Europe* with the support of PromoJeunes and Cooperatives Europe
in the framework of the *CoopStarter 2.0 project*.

This *project aims to bring cooperative entrepreneurship closer to young
people* by bridging the knowledge and tool gap between youth organisations
and cooperative associations.

The information collected through this survey will allow us to acquire a
better understanding of the current state of awareness and of (perceived)
obstacles and enablers to cooperative entrepreneurship among young people,
and to *propose recommendations accordingly*.

*Deadline to fill out: 27/03/2020!*

Thank you very much for taking the time to fill out this survey!

*AEGEE Day 2020*

On* April 16th*, 1985 - AEGEE / European Students' Forum was born. 35 years
later, we want to *do a #TimeTravel and do celebrate the heritage* of what
has been, what is and what will be, our extraordinary organization.

With a booklet of 24 activities of different difficulty - either thematic
or related to some actions literally any local can do - we want you to
celebrate all of the greatness of AEGEE.

Our intentions are clear: seeing most of the locals participate in a huge
European Celebration. celebrating AEGEE’s name. Making AEGEE be discovered
by some future members who can go shape the next generation of European
Borderless Volunteers and honoring people, the stories which made AEGEE the
awesome place we all enjoy.

*Spring Agora Yerevan 2020 Is Postponed!*

It is with great sadness, but after careful consideration that the Comité
Directeur, in close communication and cooperation with the Chair Team of
AEGEE-Europe and Local Organisers from AEGEE-Yerevan, has decided that *due
to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis Spring Agora Yerevan 2020 can no longer take
place as scheduled for the 6-11th of May 2020*.

Together with all the involved parties, *we are currently looking into the
possibility of postponing the event to a later date*. Furthermore, the
options for extraordinary methods/procedures of decision-making are
explored to ensure the continuation of elections in a timely manner.

We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience that this decision may cause,
however, the Comité Directeur, the Chair Team and the Local Organizers Team
of Agora feel the health risks and the public health restrictions in
various parts of Europe are currently too significant for everyone to keep
the current date option open any longer.

*Further information will follow as soon as possible*. As of now, we highly
request everyone to avoid purchasing tickets and wait for further details
and information to be provided. We hope for your understanding in these
difficult times, while we work on the best solution.

*Quarantine Chit Chats*

Dear you,

The current Coronavirus is concerning. Universities are closing and in some
regions, it looks like the world is standing still for this moment.

Therefore, we would like to invite everybody who feels like sharing their
thoughts, to *join our online meetings every night @ 20:00 CET.*

For us, it is important that AEGEE members feel connected, and have a place
to talk.

The *Discord* link is here <https://discord.gg/uGncWp>!

A digital hug from us, from all around Europe.

Take care and see you tonight!
