AEGEE-Europe, together with Studyportals.eu, ESTIEM and ESN, is organizing a
new project called STeXX (Student Experiences Exchange). And you can get
involved in a great and fully arranged think tank weekend!

So what is STeXX about? Why are we organizing it?
STeXX: Student experiences exchange**

*Almost all international students are very positive about their experiences
abroad. They generally have lots of stories about their adventures, stories
that are enthusiastic, inspiring and also a great motivator for other
students to also go abroad. Moreover, these students have a great deal of
local insights and practical information that could help any future student
considering to study in the same city.*

* **Many of these students – including Erasmus exchange students – are obliged
to write a report on their mobility period. And many others are already
writing blogs or other stories about their experiences. Sharing all these
stories about European study destinations will help a lot of students in
their study choice, and enable them to experience the same adventurous time
abroad. A centralised European website will be launched:
StudyExperiencesPortal.eu. This website will be linked to the popular study
choice websites Bachelors-, Masters-, and PhDportal.eu, where over one
million students look for their dream study in Europe every month. The
enthusiasm, local advice and cultural insights in all these stories will
help and convince many future students to come study in Europe!*

After a kick-off meeting in Brussels, we are preparing the Think Tank which
will happen from 11th till 14th of December 2010 in the beautiful city of
Izmir, Turkey, hosted by AEGEE-Izmir. And we are selecting participants now!
