The AEGEEan Section
Preparing for the Agora: Motions
Frequent Agora visitors are used to dealing with a lot of proposals during
a statutory event. But during recent Agorae a new trend could be spotted:
the use of motions. Why are these motions used, and how are they different
from proposals? Wieke van der Kroef will discuss these questions basing
herself upon her interpretation of the rules on motions in the CIA as well
as their use in Parliaments.

EurStory is Ready to Make History in AEGEE
It all started from an on-line debate, and now it is about to become an
AEGEE-Europe project. Last December, the Culture Working Group (CWG) set up
a Skype debate about History textbooks and how they are influenced by
nationalisms in Europe. EurStory is a newborn in AEGEE, but it’s ready to
rock the Network and to make ‘History’!

On the road to equality for LGBT people in the whole of Europe
On the 25th of August there was a large classical concert called ‘the
Constellation of Russia’ conducted in Amsterdam. The concert was meant to
show the beauty and diversity of Russia’s culture. However, there was at
the same time a large gathering of protesters, rallying against the current
developments in Russia on the matter of LGBT rights. This is a report from
Anne Bakhuizen, President of AEGEE-Amsterdam, explaining her views on what
was happening in her city.

Are you a good lobbyist?
“Are you a good lobbyist”? This was the central question to a simulation
played at the Summer University of AEGEE-Delft, “Create your own world”.
More than 20 participants and some of the organisers took part in this
interactive workshop on European Union sustainability policy, getting a
hands-on grip on the mechanisms of lobbying at the European level.
