Dear AEGEEeans,
in this
number of our R-TG, we
want to underline the changes concerning the distribution of the
locals all over the AEGEE Network that will take effect at the
upcoming AGORA especially for one reason: to communicate and explain
the changes to the locals interested and to be transparent. Why
has the Netcom taken this decision? The NetCom, you know, has
the important task to improve communication in the Network and to
bring all the AEGEE bodies closer.
| |
|
|
During
the last Netcom Meeting (meeting of the Network Commission)
in Brussels (August 2006) it has decided, after 2 workshops in EBM
Sofia and Agora Warszawa, and some informal discussions during the
previous Regional Meetings, on the suggestion of our Network
Development Director Vaggelis, to develop the concept of
restructuring its task division in order to make all the Network
stronger where necessary and to better coordinate all the locals.
This also because in the last 10 years, since the Regional division
was introduced, our Network is completely changed, and some areas
developed a lot than others. We've realised that some Netcommies have more locals to
coordinate than others and so we've decided, after
not few discussions and different points of view, to get a newly
distribute the locals. The Netcom is given the task by the
CIA (Statutes of AEGEE Europe),
through its Working Format, to make changes of this kind every 6
months. As you know, the Regions are administrative tools in order
to work efficiently and to get good results for all. If you want to
know more about the new internal task decision you can click here http://www.commissions.aegee.org/netcom/news.php
. For every question we are Always at Your disposal, especially
to give the clearest overview about the new changes….
AEGEEfully Yours, Dino

Dear AEGEE friends, we
are honoured to invite you to participate in the Network Meeting in Cosenza. We are very happy

AEGEE-Cosenza is offering
to host you in the beautiful town by the sea,
Ricadi, near Calabria 's famous tourist attraction
Tropea. We chose Ricadi because we believe that it
can offer AEGEE representatives the chance to experience the
Calabrian culture, traditions, and beauty. Get ready to work hard
and have such a great time partying and working that you won't want
to leave Ricadi!!
The meeting will be held
at, ‘'Il Porticello'', an old
water mill which has been renovated into a villa/hotel by the sea.
It is situated in front of the Eolie Islands and south of Tropea,
between Capo Vaticano and the rocks of the Grotta delle Sirene. "Il
Porticello" is divided into 20 independent two-room apartments with
bath, access to the sea, pool, garden, solarium, billiard room,
reading room, TV room, and bar. The beach is about 10 metres far,
while the pool is at the centre of the building. For more
information you can visit the website: www.ilporticello.it .

this event has already passed but if you are interested you can

Let me introduce myself:
I am Valentina, 21 years old, member of AEGEE-Milano, studying
Political Sciences…basically, the typical AEGEE-girl!

Why am I writing this article?
Well, I had the luck to be chosen by our beloved Comité Directeur as
its General Assistant! The CD made an open call, I sent my CV, they
thought I was the right person and I flew to Brussels , nothing
simpler than that! I ended up in the crazy CD house, where all the
AEGEE-magic happens, and I had the chance to live
with the wonderful CD members: Alistair, Asia , Bojana, Michele,
Orsy, Stefan, Theijs and Vaggelis.
Working with the CD means
a lot of serious work to do: projects to be implemented,
AEGEE ideals coming to a concrete shape, deadlines to be
respected and everything else needed to strengthen our Association.
There's no time for being bored, every day it's a new challenge:
the structure of AEGEE needs constant
improvements, and the CD is working really hard on that. I
assist the CD members with their daily tasks (that's why I am the
GENERAL Assistant!), doing researches on major issues like European
policies, contacting Ministers and MPs…and even searching through
the dusty archive has a reason if you see the higher cause above!
I had the opportunity to
learn how to deal with official tasks in a very friendly and
multicultural environment; it's hard work, but very rewarding, both
on the professional and personal level. Pay attention to what's
going on in our association, AEGEE offers
lots of opportunities to you as well, just search
and dare…you will not regret it!

15 years ago, in a valley
surrounded by beautiful green hills and snowy mountains, a new star
was born. It was named AEGEE-Ljubljana
after its place of birth, the capital of Slovenia . Of course, the star
was quite inexperienced at the beginning, but with the help of its
members it started shining more and more and it eventually became
one of the brightest stars in the AEGEE constellation. It
brought different people together, helping them realize their ideas
by working in a friendly environment.
| |
|
|
|
The AEGEE spirit was highly
addictive, therefore new and new students were participating, and
today the little star has around 200 members. Its members have been
organizing highly successful projects, such as Training for
Trainers, RMs, PRES, ES, and cultural exchanges. The curious, optimistic,
and blinking little star is now in the middle of its puberty, which
makes her want to do everything – Diplomatic seminar
in March, Dirty Dancing through Slovenia
in June/July, Motivation weekend
in October. | |
|
|
|
Loving its culture so
much, it is sharing it with other stars in the form of the annual
Traditional Slovenian Drinks and Habits ,
which is taking place for the 8 th time in row this December.
15 th birthday is a big
thing for the little star; therefore it celebrates it twice – by
throwing a delicious AEGEE barbeque in May
for its local members, and by travelling through time
with European members in December. The shining star
warmly welcomes you to book your seat in this time machine, to
creatively bring back the memories, and to make a toast with a glass
of champagne to many happy years to follow!

Hello again Agora addicted!!!
One month is left for the great Fall Agora
Napoli 2006 and the organizing team is just looking
forward to meeting the lucky 1000 selected participants and finally
seeing the result of months of sleepless nights. Accepted
participants can really consider themselves lucky people because of
the huge amount of applications that were submitted (more than
1500!!! One the highest number ever reached) that implies that one
person over three won't be able to join this expected grandiose
event.
Participants can find all
the necessary info to get to Napoli, info about pre
and post events (in Roma, Salerno and Catania)
basic Neapolitan language course and much more on the agora website
http://agora.aegee-napoli.org/
.
As already announced the
1000 AEGEE people will be
sleeping in the Mostra D'Oltremare centre and like
in the last Agora will be hosted in a gym but the plenaries will be
held in the nice and sensational atmosphere of one of the most
famous theatres in Napoli the “Teatro
Mediterraneo”, and Another surprise is waiting for you….on
the 4 th of November there will be the most important match of
Italian football league Napoli-Juventus
and the match will be played only 50 metres from the Agora
accommodation!!!!! So Football lovers Get Ready…
What else? Of course as
in every Agora there will be the biggest AEGEE
parties just imagine a whole club crowed by 1000 happy and
crazy people in the best disco of Napoli and let's hope the weather
will be nice as usual in Napoli so that the city will show its
beautiful landscapes, monuments and above all sea and beaches (lucky
visitors…). More surprises are also coming for the meals….Can an
Agora in Italy neglect the food importance??? Of course not!!! So
just wait for it….
Well most important don't
forget to bring your sleeping bag even if there will not be much
time for sleeping, also your typical drink for the traditional
European drinking night and above all your good mood four days of
pure AEGEE spirit are awaiting you!!!!!
So as soon as you are
accepted get your flight ticket…. Napoli wants for you!!!!!
