:: Quo Vadis Europe?::
European Students' Forum (AEGEE) concerned about the future of European Integration. AEGEE, the European Students' Forum, believes that this situation raises a serious concern, more than ever to the question: Where is Europe going? We must stop and think over the factors and problems preventing the citizens to show their free will for a united Europe and do our best to solve these problems. AEGEE is inviting politicians to stress this important opinion
both in the European Union and in their home countries and to exert their utmost efforts to convince their citizens that 50 years of achievements in
the European integration and enlargement are not in vain. We must all do our best to make sure the next time a European citizen approaching the ballot box will have one reason less to vote 'No'

:: European prototypes online survey ::
Being European is easy: we do it all the time! But what does it mean to act European? Does it exclude our national identity? Participate in the CWG project investigating European identity by completing the online survey, which is being carried out by the University of Burgundy and the European Students' Forum within the frame of the European research project.

:: Monitoring Albanian Elections ::
This summer, in July 2005, national elections will take place in Albania. At the moment, political awareness among youth is small in Albania, and attention for youth and higher education is very low in the election campaigns. AEGEE-Shkoder, together with MJAFT movement and NDI would like to change this. MJAFT and IRSH (AEGEE-Shkoder) already cooperate with Citizens Forums. Since earlier elections have proven that elections are a key moment for democracy, the International Politics Working Group (IPWG) of AEGEE supports this initiative. The IPWG will assist in training of students in order to monitor the elections in a neutral way, and encourage people to take part as international observers. We have moral and technical support of the OSCE!
For this reason AEGEE-Shkoder (part of the Albanian NGO "IRSH" invites AEGEE-ans from all over Europe to come to Albania and assist in the electoral process just as other AEGEE members had done in Ukraine in December.

:: Performing Arts Summer School ::
About thirty-five talented young performing artists and directors from a wide range of disciplines, cultural origins and artistic backgrounds will come to Crete for about three weeks this summer. During the first two weeks they will prepare a performance for the public. In the course of rehearsals they will explore the relationship between communal life and the artistic process. Participants will go through an intense learning process, developing skills in intercultural teamwork, interdisciplinary rehearsal and multilingual performance, which will contribute to the quality of their professional work later. Artists unable to join the company for all of this time may be invited to stay for shorter periods during the summer school, to support the company, and work alongside them on related projects.
