First step of the work in Bosnia planned in ZG 6. Contacts 1. Nursery work: Chieti, Siena and friends Great development of our action in Chieti: the official request to be appointed as official Contact already arrived to the CD, and in a few days there will be the official answer. People there are enthusiastic and ready to start their new experience. Good results even with Siena: the request for creating the new Contact Siena will arrive to the Headoffice in a few time. We are even in contact with interested people in Taranto, and we are optimist about possibilities there, and even in Podgorica, where we took again the contact. Contact Forlė is in contact with the JC for the Statute: signing in Skopje is planned. 2. NetCom Trip in Croatia and Slovenia The NetCom Trip I made in Croatia and Slovenia was indeed fruitful! I had really useful and important meeting with the boards of AEGEE-Rijeka and AEGEE-Zagreb in Croatia, and together we discussed about the opportunity to organise a LTC in that zone, and even to set up the next RM in a place easy reachable from the former-yugoslavian side of the Region. In general I perceived a great feeling among all of us and wonderful common visions. In Slovenia I met the board of AEGEE-Maribor and together we discussed first of all about FR and PR problems, and then we focused our attention about the possibility to create good synergies in some projects, especially in the one about Bosnia promoted at the NetCom Meeting in Zielona Gora. Then I met even some new board-members of AEGEE-Ljubljana and a representative of the previous one. The meeting was useful and I promoted the ES in Beograd, great chance for the new members (and board-members) of that great local. Even with AEGEE-Maribor and AEGEE-Ljubljana we indicated as priority to have a common meeting of all the locals of the eastern side of the Region at the next RM. Finally in Ljubljana I had even an important meeting with Sasha Sirca, experienced Rainbow SubCommie, and there I asked her to take care of the management of the LTC in that part of the Region, and together we considered as a good idea to involve even the Carpathian Region in the project. 3. Plan of a LTC in Teramo After a request we got from AEGEE-Teramo, we are planning to organise in Teramo a LTC. Valentina Lucci is currently working on the project. The goal is to involve even people from Chieti, AEGEE-Termoli, AEGEE-Macerata, AEGEE-Roma and to set up a meeting devoted to the IE, but even to the general information about AEGEE and first of all to the integration and the communication among close locals. Dates and details are in progress. 4. Rainbow Team meeting in Napoli During the Public Relation European School Silvia Baita and Giselle Spiteri Miggiani (SubCommissioners) and Davide Calenda, Fabrizio Fantini and Amedeo Ferrara (Supporters and "friends" of the Team) were in Napoli as trainers. When, in the last days, even Alice Traverso Bernini and Valentina Lucci (SubCommissioners) went to visit us, we had the possibility to set up a unplanned but really useful Rainbow Team Meeting. We discussed about the results and the strategies coming from the NetCom Meeting in Zielona Gora, about the common NetCom action in Bosnia, about the possibility to support the Hot Team of the Far-West Region in France, about the LTCs in Teramo and in Croatia, about the next RM and about the unfortunate SUTC in Firenze we had to delete in spite of the great results AEGEE-Firenze got in FR and logistic organization. The only sad point: unlucky we still have never had the possibility to setup a real official Rainbow Team Meeting with the whole team present! :-( Next time, maybe! 5. First step of the work in Bosnia planned in ZG The first step we planned in Zielona Gora for our common action in Bosnia was to start to get in touch with the locals and the Contacts there, or at least to try to do it. Silvia Baita and Alice Traverso Bernini are already sending e-mail and communications to the addresses on the AB. Unfortunately till now they didn't get any answer, but I'm still not completely pessimistic. In the meantime we even got the support of Andra Lujic from AEGEE-Maribor, Bosnian speaker and really interested in developing AEGEE in that area. And in the same time Sandro D'Onofrio from AEGEE-Termoli and AEGEE-Napoli is supporting us with a fruitful internet research visiting all of the websites of the Bosnian universities and collecting contacts and references. 6. Contacts Monthly overview of the Contacts of the Rainbow Region. Avellino-Benevento: I have a meeting with some of them! They were in Napoli during the PRES and discussed about their condition with me and Giselle. They are strongly motivated to sign in Skopje. :-)) Banja Luka: Unfortunately nothing new.
