     :: AEGEE "Welcome New Europe" Action Week ::   
      The 1st of May 2004 was a historic day for European Integration, with the enlargement of the EU from 15 to 25 states. AEGEE, the European Students' Forum, celebrated this great occasion all over the continent! AEGEE members have not only been enjoying this experience, but have been at the forefront in promoting a larger, enriched EU. It remains our mission to live and act upon our vision of European Integration. This is never easy, but as young, active citizens we will continue doing our best to live out our dreams... AEGEE "Welcome New Europe" Action Week took place from the 1st till 9th of May.

      2738 total places offered
