            Striving for Education Unlimited! in Europe
             Lifelong and life-wide learning of students, key competences acquired through complementary forms of education and foremost students' voice on education at grass-root level!...there is still a lot to do in European education and members of the European Students' Forum - AEGEE say: Let's improve it!

                  The AEGEE flagship project 2007 Education Unlimited! is rocking! It aims at strengthening involvement of young people in educational policies at the grass-root level and bridging formal and non-formal education in a more sustainable way. Let us update you about the latest developments.

            Mediaschool 2007 Eindhoven
            From the 23rd until the 30th of March AEGEE-Eindhoven in corporation with AEGEE.tv organized their biannual mediaschool again. In the weekend the weekend the participants received very interesting workshops about movie making. In the following week there was a very large student congress in Eindhoven with around 350 participants called the European Week Eindhoven. During this event the participants of the mediaschool could train their just developed movie making skills by making nice short movies of this week. In small groups they made one movie a day and it was screened during this congress for everybody to see. The movies were a great success and can still be seen on the AEGEE.tv website.

            See you all in two years again!

           
            NM-Opportunity to change your future
            AEGEE-Budapest took the possibility this spring for organizing the Network Meeting of the former Carpathian region with the title 'NWM-Opportunity to change your future'.
            Besides introducing how AEGEE is working, we had an other main topic as well: 'How to go on after our higher educational studies?'. We chose this one because it is not really easy to find a job with just a degree in your hand all around Europe. We had lectures from AEGEE-members (e.g.: about how the new network is working, as well as about the Education Unlimited! Project) as well as from representatives of companies who were specialized in the labor force. 
            But an AEGEE event can't be complete without workshops! So we also had some of them, like a leadership simulation (demonstrated by building up card castles), and how a job application looks like.
            We all enjoyed the AEGEE-spirit and AEGEE-Budapest is looking forward to organizing its next AEGEE event as well!

           
            When the dream came true
            It was real, it was inspiring, it was great and it was action! One of Network Meetings 2007 was held in Riga, and we can truly say that all 41 participants and 6 tutors from 10 countries went home satisfied after spending a weekend in NetMet "Real Inspiring Great Action"! We were studying a lot in 10 useful workshops. We were relaxing a lot before, after and during the workshops through parties, Latvian style dinner, European Night, games, games and games again. For a lot of participants it was their first event and for a lot of them it was the first time in Riga. We are very sure that it wasn't the last one and that you will still hear about them! And yes, thanks for writing in the evaluations, that the participants had the best food from all AEGEE events where they have been! ;)

            Defence of Human Rights in Eastern Europe - Conference 
            AEGEE Cosenza, organized on March 16th, a conference held at the University of Calabria, in Cosenza, Italy entitled, "Defence of Human Rights in Eastern Europe" with the objective of analysing where Eastern Europe stands within the defence of human rights.
            Through this conference, AEGEE Cosenza aimed at bringing together young people to discuss such an important matter and created a great opportunity to exchange experiences, knowledge, and opinions and to dialogue with other people from different cultures.
            The Conference involved professors from the University of Calabria who shared their analysis of the issue, in particular, the Armenian issue, the situation of the new member states and the potential new member states and the situation in Russia and Cecenia.
            After the hard work at the conference and workshops which followed, all participants enjoyed a great night out in the town and parties with all the Erasmus students staying at the University of Calabria.

           
            Pre-event "Back to your teens" 07-03 
            Who would have thought that songs like "Wannabe" and "Rhythm is a dancer" would bring up so many nostalgic feelings? The party in Maastricht proved it to be. Masses of sweaty people were dancing to well-known and humiliating tunes of the nineties. Everyone used this party as a great excuse to dance to Scatman John and admit without shame that they know the entire lyrics by heart. Awards were given to the best outfit and the "Macarena" was danced in honour of the winner.
            The party made rise to one question: what music of this decade will we look back upon with sentimental feelings and feel no shame of dancing to it? The Ketchup Song? Schnappi? Only time will tell, I guess. 

           
            Present your event in the AEGEE Monthly Review
