And finally here comes the second R-TG! This is the result of many hours of work so please make sure you send it to all your members and encourage them to join the Rainbow-l, so that they too can be updated about what's happening in their region. In this edition you will see that certain changes are being proposed to the structure of the regions while our friends in Napoli are busy organising the next Agora and those in Cosenza, Rome, Udine Salerno, Catania and Ljubljana are sure to organize other successful events... we have also included a Mad House Close Up and another page from the Diary of an Agora in the Making. Read on… and enjoy!

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 |

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 .

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!!!!!
