Dear AEGEEans,
In the last days, you have raised your voices and proven the power of a
unique cooperation across borders: sharing information about the happenings
in dozens of cities in Turkey day by day through mailing lists, blogs and
social media, standing up together for the fellow AEGEEans, showing
solidarity through demonstrations, posted pictures, lit up candles and
supporting messages.
Dear friends who stood up for your rights and democracy in Turkey! Know
that the Comité Directeur fully supports your peaceful demonstrations and
AEGEE-Europe condemns the violation of human rights and the brutal use of
force by the police.
You will find more support from the Network in the newsletter below.
We wish you all the best.
Enjoy also the rest of the newsletter, including the kick-off of Y Vote
2014!

News from AEGEE
Support for our members in Turkey Over the weekend, massive protests have
started and have led to violent reactions of the police in Turkey,
including two confirmed deaths of citizens.
What has started as a sit-in over a reconstruction in Istanbul has become
something much bigger: Citizens stand up for democracy and freedom of
speech in their country.The happenings have sparked a broad support for our
members in Turkey in the Network. The AEGEEan has started a special
reporting, collecting news and pictures from the Internet and our members
on the spot, trying to keep us updated in what is happening.
The Human Rights Working Group has started an initiative to show our
support with our Turkish friends standing up for democracy: Light up a
candle for democracy in Turkey.
More than 80 people so far have lit up a candle for democracy in Turkey and
shown their solidarity with the peaceful protesters in Istanbul, Adana,
Ankara, Izmir and many other cities.
You can also participate: Light a candle, make a picture of yourself with
the candle and send it to [log in to unmask] Human Rights Working Group will
upload the photo on their Facebook page.

Y Vote 2014 Kicks Off in the European Parliament
This weekend, the CD house hosted the meeting of the Y Vote 2014 project.
The next steps were discussed and the tasks divided among 10 extremely

days.
The weekend was closed by the official launching of the event in the

Les Anciens as Official Alumni Organisation
Last week, Luis travelled to Malta to represent AEGEE-Europe at the General
Assembly of Les Anciens. Les Anciens was created to collect very active
people from the European Level of AEGEE, to be able to maintain a link with
each other and AEGEE.
Today Les Anciens counts hundreds of members from different generations,
working in all kind of international institutions and companies.
During this General Assembly, we asked Les Anciens to become the official
Alumni organisation of AEGEE-Europe, making it open to all AEGEE members
and strengthening the link between the current and the previous generations.
The General Assembly unanimously approved this decision.
As a next step, this development will be ratified by Agora Zaragoza.
LLP Project in the European Parliament
On 4th of June, together with our partners from YEU (Youth for Exchange
and Understanding), we hosted a Round Table discussion in the European
Parliament, hosted by MEP Marian Harking from the ALDE Group, to present to
the different stakeholders our new project: *"Certification of Competences
of Youth Workers in Europe"*, cofunded by the LLP Project of the European
Union.
The projects aims at developing a universal recognition of the competences
and skills that young people gain in and through youth work.
We counted with the presence of the European Commission, the European
Youth Forum and other youth NGOs such as ESN, JADE, ELSA, WOSM, MIJARC,
EEE-YFU and others.
During the event we presented the aims and objectives of the project and
had a fruitful discussion on the processes of validation of competences
obtained in the youth field when working in youth NGOs and the recognition
of validation of Non Formal Education (NFE).

When talking about sustainability in AEGEE [image: When talking about
sustainability in AEGEE]
What do AEGEE members understand when talking about sustainability? Where
did they learn about this? And how would they like AEGEE to be involved
with this topic? Finding out the answers to these questions was the aim of
the survey on sustainability which was completed by almost 120 people from
over 60 locals all around the network. Both multiple choice and qualitative
answers were analysed and quantified, and will serve as input for AEGEE’s
position paper on sustainability.

The two biggest AEGEE-Europe publications are on their way
Recently AEGEE-Europe issued two similar and important open calls – one for
the team of Members’ Manual and another for the team of Key To Europe
(K2E). What are those publications, what’s the difference between them and
why do we, AEGEE members, need them? That’s exactly what we are going to
explain to you in this article.

A tale of two Young entrepreneurs
Entrepreneur [ˌɒntɹəpɹəˈnɜː] n., a person who sets up a business or
businesses, taking on financial risks in the hope of profit. Such says the
Oxford Dictionary, but what exactly are these people? And are they only in
it for the money? More in general, an entrepreneur is somebody who takes
advantage of a gap in the market. These gaps occur because of imperfections
of the market (e.g. slow integration of a new technology, a limited number
of producers, government intervention,…).
