:: Mediating Europe - By, Between and Beyond in Minsk (Belarus) ::
On the 3rd of June 25 students from all over Europe gathered in Minsk, Belarus, for an AEGEE conference entitled "Mediating Europe: BY, Between and Beyond". The three-day event focused on the relationships between Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine and the European Union.
The event was the third conference organized in the larger framework of AEGEE's large-scale project "EU & Europe", dealing with the relations between the EU and its neighbours after the enlargement of the 1st of May 2004. Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova form a group of these neighbouring countries and, consequently, "Mediating Europe" focused on the relations between these states and the EU in its new composition.
Press release anticipating the conference can be seen here.
Report from the Conference can be seen here.

:: AEGEE expresses satisfaction over the European Constitution ::
On the 21st of June AEGEE-Europe made a statement expressing our great satisfaction over a historic deal on the Constitution for Europe, reached in Brussels by the European Council of Ministers on the 18th of June 2004. The Constitution for Europe is undoubtedly the achievement of the European politicians of the last decades, and is a significant step foreword in the development of the common European principles.

:: The Olympic Flame in AEGEE's hands ::
On the 21st of June Nicola Rega, President of AEGEE-Europe, took part in a wonderful experience of running with the Olympic Torch in the name of AEGEE-Europe. He proudly represented AEGEE in front of many international media. What is also very important is that this event created for AEGEE the opportunity to have a space on the publication of the International Labour Organisation and the possibility to cooperate with their programme "Youth Employment Network".

:: Summer University Project triggered off last month! ::
Summer University project, successfully operating for 16 summers now, is still developing and the number of courses is increasing year by year. The numbers speak for themselves:
100 Summer Universities
127 participating locals (64% of the whole AEGEE Network)
138 Organizing teams (for SUs with more than one local)
2738 total places offered
39 SUs can host the disabled (both motorial and sensorial)...
Mobility that SUs offer to students enables them to overcome physical borders as well as broaden their horizons by achieving a higher level of intercultural understanding.
Summer Universities started this month and will finish by the mid-September.
