*AEGEE Members Survey!*


#AEGEESurvey #10Minutes #cookthepasta

To remind you, the AEGEE Survey is still ongoing. A short questionnaire
through which we aim at measuring the general impact of our activities and
identifying the profile of the average AEGEE member in 2020.

*Why this survey is IMPORTANT?*

   - To identify the ways in which AEGEE influences the *personal and
   professional development* of young people;
   - To tailor the *activities *of AEGEE based on the results;
   - To sell to *partners *and *grant donors* the profile of our membership
   (also at local level);
   - To understand the *evolution *of our membership in this time. The last
   survey we had was conducted in 2013. That’s 7 years without data!

Filling in the AEGEE Survey takes approximately 10 minutes. That’s the same
time it would take you to cook the pasta so use those 10 minutes to
contribute to the greater good of AEGEE!

Find the survey here
<https://aegeeservices.northeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/index.php/933642?lang=en&fbclid=IwAR2SPLwSaqPFoAhPn5_8azSRobkVRFL2gRDHWIfv1ax7Asa_zUPiteRyYmE>
