It's coming, it's coming.... .... Autumn Agora in Athens!!! Date: 21st - 24th November APPLICATIONS are already open, but only until: 18th October!!! The local board has to accept and choose the delegates and visitors until that time. But first: WHAT IS AGORA? The Agora is a General Assembly which is attended by delegates of each local. The Agora is held twice a year, once in the spring and once in the autumn. During the Agora there will be new proposals which will or will not be approved by the delegates. Also there will be new candidates for the CD that will have to be elected. Workshops and lectures about old and new projects of AEGEE will be held. Also subjects as the budget or the future of AEGEE will be discussed. Next to the official part there will be more than enough time to enjoy yourself at parties together with other 600-1000 AEGEE members from all over Europe and to meet old friends! Every antenna should be present (by their delegates) at least at two Agora's per year or at one Agora and one Planning meeting! But for delegates is not only obligation to join Agora, it is also privilege and wonderful experience, not even to mention benefit for antenna (you get familiar with the current situation in AEGEE, you can express opinion, vote and constructively contribute to AEGEE's future, not to mention the motivation for the delegates).
