Hi Rainbowists,

the Rainbow team is again here with you, this time talking about AEGEE projects!
With 100 Summer Universities, 140 conferences, cultural exchanges and
projects every year, hardly a weekend goes by without some form of
AEGEE activity! This full and varied programme includes conferences,
seminars, case study trips as well as a full range of other projects.
Today and in the following week, we're going to talk about AEGEE
projects: let's start with five of them!


In this issue we'll talk about:
1. Summer University Project
2. EuroIslam
3. Shooting Europe
4. Education for Democracy
5. AEGEE20


====================================================
1. SUMMER UNIVERSITY PROJECT
Link: http://www.aegee.org/su
====================================================
Summer Universities provide AEGEE members with the opportunity to
travel and experience something totally new - classes to learn a
foreign language, different courses on technical themes to
multicultural activities: get familiar with Finnish culture, Spanish
history, Greek mythology; learn how to sail or tracking or etc. These
programmes, normally last for two weeks. Summer Universities are the
ideal way of putting the term "European integration" into practice.
Fees are deliberately kept down to ensure as wide a participation as
possible, and include tuition, food and lodging.
Each year around 90 Summer Universities take place all around Europe,
with around 2500 students from more than a 30 European countries; from
France to Moldova, and from Finland to Malta.


====================================================
2. EUROISLAM
Link: http://www.aegee.org/euroislam
====================================================
The EuroIslam Project aims to encourage young Europeans to start an
intercultural and interreligious dialogue, provide more knowledge
about Islam and the Islamic culture and come to mutual respect and
understanding. Especially the young generation must overcome
differences between Muslims and Western people, start to see what we
have in common and creating an enriching way of living together.
AEGEE, as a European Youth NGO, has the possibility to start
discussions and exchanges all over Europe to find out if this theory
is a fact, if there is a possibility for politicians to influence the
developments and to change prejudices in Media etc. Upcoming
conferences are going to reflect a wide range of topics, such as,
"Multiculturalism - Minorities in Europe" in Forlė (in March - apply
now!), "Human Rights" in Iasi, and "Value of cultural aspects of
religions" in Shkoder.


====================================================
3. SHOOTING EUROPE short film festival
Link: http://www.aegee.org/moviefestival
====================================================
The key motivation for organising the AEGEE movie festival was the
wish for a novel approach of not only promoting the idea of an
integrated Europe among young people but also involving them in a
process of active discussion. Since movies are a very influential
instrument of communication, making them in advance and making use of
them should be an attractive way of dealing with the issues of human
rights, intercultural dialogue and contributions of AEGEE to the
European integration. Therefore, this event combines art and
creativity with thematic work on common social issues and cultural
diversity.
The "Shooting Europe" film festival will take place in Karlsruhe, on
1-5 May 2005.


====================================================
4. EDUCATION FOR DEMOCRACY
Link: http://www.aegee.org/efd
====================================================
For the fifth time the European Students' Forum AEGEE will set up a
program aiming at arranging full scholarships at the universities
within the EU member countries, provided for the duration of one
academic year (ten months). The beneficiaries of the project will be
students from Western Balkans and South Caucasian countries. The whole
project will again be realised by students and young professional
volunteers. The programme consists of a regular academic course load
at the university, focusing on an assessment of knowledge in the
student's field of studies and may also include other course subjects.
Additionally, the students meet regularly for seminars on topics
relevant to the present and future of southeast Europe. The main goal
of these seminars is not only to provide knowledge and deeper insight
on the topics presented, but also to foster discussions and to
establish a group which could become the anchor for future activities
after the students' return to their home universities.


====================================================
5. AEGEE20
Link: http://www.aegee.org/aegee20/
====================================================
"AEGEE 20" project encloses all official and unofficial celebrations
of the 20th anniversary of AEGEE-Europe. Through media events, social
activities, publications and a new website, the project will draw
attention to the achievements of AEGEE-Europe over 20 years, the
important and valuable role it has played in the process of European
Integration, and the contributions it has made in the lives of its
members.
In April 2005 some great celebrations will take place and AEGEE-Europe
organized for this event a special team called AEGEE20 to help who
will organize something about this special birthday.
Visit the website, in order to discover the planned events for this
awesome celebration!!!


====================================================

That's all for today, see you next week for five more AEGEE projects.

Europeanly yours,
MaRiNo
