News from AEGEE
AEGEEans welcome Croatia
This Monday, Croatia became the* 28th member state of the European Union*.
This was a reason to celebrate for AEGEEans.
From 24th-26th of June, many AEGEEans travelled to the EU Youth
Conference *“Croatia
in the EU: Strengthening ties in youth cooperation"*, of which AEGEE-Europe
and AEGEE-Zagreb were partners. Together with representatives of the
European Commission and Croatian politicians, but more importantly with
representatives from Croatian youth organisations, they discussed the
benefits and concerns of Croatian youth concerning the EU accession, but
also created their own positive messages welcoming Croatia. AEGEEans on the
panel and around left a lasting positive impression on the participants of
the conference. It was a great opportunity to witness history closely. *We
wish all the best to Croatia! Welcome home!
For more information*, check our Key to Europe

European Commissioners welcoming Croatia.
A very AEGEE Summer
Exam periods have finished for most of us, universities are coming to an
end, summer is here (ok, exclude from this statement Netherlands, UK and
Belgium) and it's time for... yes, Summer Universities! Out of the 78 this
year, one has already finished, and 7 are currently running.
*We wish you a wonderful summer and unforgettable experiences!*
Concluding the Identity Process
While for some of us the summer has already started, a brave bunch of
AEGEEans will gather from 11th-14th of July in Brussels and together with
the CD *rewrite AEGEE's Identity*. 19 people will work for 3 days to
evaluate all the conclusions from the two Identity surveys and construct
AEGEE's identity to one which reflects better who we are and what we stand
for. The results will be shared with you* for feedback before presenting
them to Agora Zaragoza* for approval. Thanks to your contribution, a lot of
great ideas came up. *Stay tuned for the result!*
Contribute to the new Strategic Plan!
We are currently in the process of creating the *new Strategic Plan for the
years 2014-2017*, which will give the main Strategic Priorities AEGEE will
work on during these year. For this survey, your input is still needed *until
10th of July*: http://goo.gl/Mf9tr<http://aegee.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=7a170c64e0d3990f3f6629d21&id=3143d7313f&e=397c57f6c2>
.
You can also still participate in the* Planning Meeting Genova *(see the
open call in the events section above). Don't miss this chance to decide
what* you would like to see AEGEE work *on in the next years!
What kind of Impact do we stand for?
As you have probably seen, a couple of days ago, we launched the *AEGEE
Impact Survey*. For the first time in the history of AEGEE, we want to
measure what kind of impact we actually have on our members.
*Please contribute<http://aegee.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=7a170c64e0d3990f3f6629d21&id=d613afa1b7&e=397c57f6c2>and
help us to gather as many answers as possible!
*
You can not only win great prizes (among then an InterRail ticket for a
22-days trip first class), but it will also help you reflect on your
development and can give a good impression on the impact your local has in
the end.
It is especially important that the survey reaches *Alumni and former
members*, so please make sure to also forward it to them!
Thank you!

Lobbying with AEGEE – 24h in the life of a Policy Officer
The work of a Policy Officer involves a lot of reading — lengthy study and
survey reports, lofty European Commission publications, and repetitive
online discussions — but every now and then something more exciting comes
along as well. One of those moments was the first lobbying meeting of the
Dutch Youth Council on Education for sustainability, followed the next day
by a busy policy debate at the European Parliament on Entrepreneurship
skills. A brief account of 24h in the life of a Policy Officer…

AEGEE present at the Regional Youth Forum in Istanbul organized by UNFPA
and UNECE
While hundreds of people were gathered in Istanbul’s Gezi Park – Taksim’s
last remaining public park, fighting for their present day, in a
neighboring district 40 young activists from diverse countries were taking
part in a much less dangerous but still very important meeting aimed at
building a more decent life for youth in the future.

‘THIRSTY?’ – ‘NOT YET…’ (Climate Change and Water Availability)
Water means life. Life begun IN water and no known living thing can
function without it. From the smallest to the biggest organism, the simpler
to the most complex; and in between, us. GOOD NEWS: 3/4 parts of the Globe
are covered by water. BAD NEWS: only 2.5% of it is fresh water, and only
0.007% of the total amount is accessible to human use.

Lithuanian EU Presidency priorities in education and training
Lithuania took over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union

for education, youth, training and sport ‘Erasmus +’ was reached in the end
of June, Lithuania will see the formal adoption of the programme under its

set for education, i.e. quality and efficiency of the education and
