Hi dear Region, before send you my Monthly Report of September (it'll be sent in few minutes) I'd like to comment a bit the questionnaire results. The answers to the SPRING SMALL QUESTIONNAIRE surprised me a lot but also confirmed me some of my ideas concerning my beautiful Region! Let's start: >2)MAIN PROBLEMS IN YOUR LOCAL: (multiple answers) >-Lack of active members 37.8% >-Lack of any kine of members 13.5% >-Lack of sponsors 13.5% ACTIVE MEMBERS.... MEMBERS.... SPONSORS....., 3 key problems...., how to solve them? SEND YOUR MEMBERS TO THE EUROPEAN SCHOOLS, FUND RAISING SCHOOLS, any kine of Internal Education Event is useful!!! Believe me..., it's an investment for your Locals, give a reimbursement to the potential participants they'll pay back using their skills and motivations. >3)HOW AEGEE EUROPE SHOULD HELP YOUR LOCAL?: (multiple answers) >-No way 45.4% >-By providing internal education 18.2% >-By increase and clearify the information flow 13.6% >-By organizing Regional Events 9.1% >-By changing the SU and Event selection criteria 4.5% >-By giving economical supports 4.5% >-By presenting some sponsors 4.5% If you felt AEGEE Europe far from you, far from your local problems THIS IS ALSO OUR/MY FAULT!!!! But you should also cooperate (I remind you that 6 Locals even didn't answer to my questionnaire!), AEGEE is a Network not a arcipelago of few isolated islands, the solution of your problems is probably near to you, but you don't want to see it, because you're looking too much on your local level. In this way I'll try to start a new season of NETCOM TRIPS with some people of my team, and other who can join me on the way. >4)IN WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING MATTERS YOUR ACTIVE MEMBERS >AND YOUR BOARD MEMBERS NEED BE TRAINED: (multiple answers) >-European Projects 25.3% >-Public Relation 17.3% >-Fund Raising 17.3% >-AEGEE Europe Structure 16% >-Team working 13.3% >-Agora and statutory meetings 10.6% In this case everything seems to be balanced except that the Projects of AEGEE Europe are almost unknown, but it's pity. Can you compare the knowledges about Projects with PR, or FR skills? NO!!!! To be trained on PR you need a well done Event (a PRES possibly)..., but to know all AEGEE Projects and how to contribute to them you just need..... TO ASK ME!!!!!! Feel free to do it. Some Locals looked for information in the past, the results were EXTREMELY WELL ORGANIZED AND POSITIVE EVENTS by AEGEE Torino (Bordeless Europe Project), by AEGEE Udine (Quo Vadis Europe Project)... just 2 examples! Ok that's all with my comments now I'm waiting your ones, write them possibly on this list not to me personally. Regards.
