> I faced with the reality that I should have organized the Netcom
> Meeting after I reached the headoffice as the new Network
> responsible. I needed to update the network research and to
> understand the entire functioning in two weeks time before the Netcom
> Meeting in Passau.
>
> All together with the Network Commissioners we had been discussing
> about regional division, monthly reports, efficiency of Regional
> Meetings, importance of the antenna criteria, 2004 Enlargement, its
> effect on AEGEE and most importantly the strategy of the network
> during our term. I must say that sometimes the tension was really
> high but I guess those hard discussions brought us closer. The Netcom
> Team has a special spirit and the newcomers are and will be adopting
> it easily.
>
> Just after the Netcom Meeting I arranged my first network trip mainly
> in DACH Region with the help of AEGEE-Passau. The locals I visited
> are the following: Innsbruck, Vienna, München, Toulouse, Osnabrück,
> Münster, Hamburg, Mannheim, Tübingen, Freiburg. The most important
> deficiency was Internal Education in the German speaking area. In
> cooperation with the Academy and Matina we are dealing with the
> problem.
>
> I have visited two Regional Meetings as Network Responsible. One was
> in Thessaloniki; Balkania Region and the second one was in Eindhoven,
> North-West Region.
>
> I moderated a workshop in the PM together with Davide Calenda and
> Enrico Lai about many crucial points for our network. The will of a
> change and the idea of preparing new proposals for the Agora
> Amsterdam came out of this workshop.
>
> After PM Helsinki, I started my second network trip mainly in the
> Northern Region. Including these locals: Tampere, Oulu, Turku/Abo,
> Jyvaskyla, Uppsala, Linkoping, Stockholm, Malmo, Lund, Oslo,
> Copenhagen and Berlin. Scandinavia is getting closer to the European
> issues lately but active student life in other organizations and
> competition between them should be taken into consideration.
>
> I have no complaints about anybody in the Comité Directeur. We all
> together experienced the difficulties of a multi-cultural team.
> Nobody said that it would be easy. Very important thing that I learnt
> in AEGEE you never have the chance to choose your colleagues also in
> the working environment outside but you can try to find the common
> ways and try to love them.
>
> I had joined AEGEE believing in its ideals and amazed by the
> practical achievements made so far. I was always critical about many
> points in our Association. This didn't change after my CD term. Some
> call me 'dreamer' when they think my points are unrealistic and
> unfeasible. I was always trying to push AEGEE where it really belongs
> to. During all my network trips I used a harsh language and just
> tried to convince people to aim high. It is great to know that at
> least in some locals I achieved to transfer the AEGEE idealism.
>
> Surely I will always remember my CD term as a special time period of
> my life. Not
> only with its nice points but also the things I suffered from. It is
> obviously a unique
> experience.
>
> Lastly, thanks to AEGEE-Ankara for teaching me great things, which
> will always
> influence the rest of my life. Thanks to the participants of ES Praha
> and the ones who still have the Praha spirit. Special thanks to every
> single CD member with whom I was working for 6 months learning from
> each of them.
