Fall Agora 2006 - Time for Daring
From 2 till 5 November AEGEE-Napoli, AEGEE-Europe and the Municipality of Napoli organised the main statutory event of AEGEE. Over 1000 people coming from all around Europe had the opportunity to stay together discussing future projects, electing our representatives or simply having fun and enjoy the European identity together during four unforgettable days. Organizing an Agora is something special, full of emotions and it needed huge efforts from AEGEE-Napoli, the Chair Team and the Comitè Directeur, but in the end just watching a plenary room full of people clapping their hand for you, pays back and gives even more for all that you did. That's why to all the locals thinking about organizing an Agora WE can just say it's the best choice ever and we're all here grateful for it.
Organized crimes - Youth NGOs against
Between 30th October and 2nd November 2006, in Roma has taken place the pre-Agora "Organized Crimes: Youth NGOs Against". During this event there was a conference, with about 200 students, in order to deal with this delicate topic and the fight against it starting from the Italian roots and then giving it a broader dimension, thanks to the help of some experts, as, first of all, dr. Pietro Grasso, Chief Prosecutor of the Italian Antimafia Department. We've talked about the organized crime also in some European countries, in South America, Japan, China, etc. During the conference some different workshops have been organized thanks to the collaboration of different NGOs as IAPPS Roma Tre, Erasmus In Campus, Erasmus Roma Tre and Best La Sapienza. We believe that this event was the first step in order to show as the Youth can act concretely in this matter and we hope that some locals will be interested in following our example organizing a conference about this topic.
Cooking with FUN around the ETNA
November 6th - 10th 2006. 16 European heroes went to Sicily to discover the secrets of Sicilian energy and happiness. They were lodged in a castle (flat really) just 10m far from the sea and many of them woke up having a bath in that sea.
They discovered the hidden ingredients of Frappè alla Nutella, the way to make a good Pizza and the magic word "Arancini".
During the night, they climbed Etna to see, as near as possible, the LAVA. and the surrounding wonderful landscape.
They also visited Taormina and the Greek theatre, where they prepared CANNOLI with "ricotta" and chocolate cream.
Now many European countries know our secrets. there is more energy and more happiness all around Europe!
First European School 1 event in Ukraine completed as success
Odessa was the location to host the first European School 1 to take place in Ukraine. The participants of the one week training event all traveled for at least one whole day to reach their destination but still found the long way more than worth the effort. 22 dedicated Europeans coming from Madrid till Moscow gathered from the 17th till the 26th of November to gather new experiences in international teamwork, to broaden their hard and soft skills and to deepen their understanding of Europe and AEGEE. Next to the intensive program consisting of lectures and case work the parties will certainly not be forgotten.
Not only due to the great motivation of the participants but also because of the perfect organization of AEGEE Odessa the ES1 Odessa turned out a real success.
Now the participants are back in their home antennae to implement the things they have just learnt, to realize their new ideas and to spread the AEGEE spirit. After being active in their locals most are already looking forward to also starting their activities on the European level of AEGEE.
The next European School 1 will take place in Canakkale, Turkey from the 24th of March till the 1st of April 2007.
2006 - a good year for languages
Our dreams came true this year: 33 locals honoured our invitation and celebrated the EDL! You can find out about their "adventures in Language Land" in our next EDL-brochure. Coming up very soon.
But let us tell you some things about what happened on the 23rd of November.
In AEGEE Cluj-Napoca, the sparkly celebrations started with their traditional language fair. Colours, flags, books and magazines, French accent, Russian "Matrioshkas" and Romanian folk costumes, music and laughter filled the day and their hearts. And our spies (who saw everything) whisper that they even had cookies and goodies for participants and guests who visited the 20 language-stalls. Hmmm, I wish I had been there! The day ended with an international party, were Romanians and Erasmus students danced all night and shared their multicultural experience.
AEGEE-Nis is also very proud to have been a part of European Day of Languages project. Their event ("Speak Serbian so the whole world can understand you") can only be described in one word: amazing! Ten lucky people from all over AEGEE (Skopje, Ljubljana, Kyiv, Moscow) had the chance to learn basic Serbian language, Cyrillic letters and Balkanian history through lectures and workshops. They practiced these in a "kafana" (traditional Serbian restaurant), in famous cafés in Nis and many other interesting places that they visited. Curious about it? Visit www.aegee-nis.org.yu !
For the celebrations in 2006, the Council of Europe decided to publish our anniversary booklet and the list of EDL-organizing AEGEE locals on their website, giving us more visibility than ever before.

Network Meeting Gdansk (17-19 November 2006)
The future starts today - that was the motto of Network Meeting perfectly organized by AEGEE-Gdansk in co-operation with Network Commission. The event attracted 100 participants who have taken part in workshops e.g. about communication, marketing or time management. The spirit of intercultural co-operation was present also during very entertaining social program that did not let anybody to sleep too much.
