The seminar organized by AEGEE-Europe in co-operation with JADE

Centre at the Romanian Embassy in Brussels. The discussion took place in
two panels - one concerning the future of the EU education programmes and
the second - youth entrepreneurship and employment in the European Union,
especially after the enlargement. Among the invited guests and speakers
were Mr. Pierre Marresee - the Director of the Youth Programme at the DG
Education and Culture, Giacomo Filibeck - President of the European Youth
Forum, Henrik Kröner - the Secretary General of the European Movement and
Karsten Wenzlaff - a young German candidate for an MEP, AEGEE member.
Moreover, the discussion was facilitated by the representatives of
Brussels-based NGOs and students from the College of Europe in Brugge. The
event turned out to be a great success. |

| |||
|
 |
On the 12-14th of March over 200 AEGEE delegates from all over
Europe gathered in Wroclaw, Poland, in order to brainstorm and discuss the
most crucial fields of action AEGEE is getting involved in during the
coming months and to concretize and give impetus to the projects we are
undertaking in the nearest future. The meeting was yet another important
step for the development of our association, and was organized under the
framework of the THINK EUROPE Planning Meeting format. More HERE Moreover, in March three AEGEE Regional Meetings took place: Patra
(Greece), Muenster (Germany) and Tartu (Estonia). Every "region"
(arbitrary area that AEGEE is divided into for the sake of ensuring better
and closer co-operation and information overflow) has its Regional Meeting
twice a year, and this provides the opportunity to train new members,
co-ordinate the activities, strategic development planning and
establishing the co-operation between the local branches through
stimulating the involvement in common projects. |

| ; :: Internal Education in AEGEE in March :: |
| |||
|
 |
Internal education forms an important part of AEGEE activity and
our human resources development. AEGEE holds nine various kinds of
Internal Education events (called "European Schools"), focusing and
tapping on different aspects of AEGEE activity and preparing our members
to become actively involved both on local and European level. Organized in
1991, it has developed into a high quality training event; knowledge and
skills possible to acquire during such a training build up the basis for
the organization of our projects and events. In March two important
Internal Education events took place - European School in Belgrade
(Yugoslavia) and Media School in Nowy Sacz (Poland), organized by AEGEE-TV. |

to a common form. AEGEE considers the Constitution to be an important step
