Dear AEGEEans,
"AEGEE empowers students and young people in Europe to take an active role
in society.
It creates a space for dialogue and learning opportunities as well as acts
as their representative towards decision-makers.
Moreover, AEGEE strengthens mutual understanding and brings Europe closer
to young people."
This is the new definition of AEGEE, approved at Agora Zaragoza 2013. With
this and new complementary other elements of the newly updated AEGEE
Identity, for the first time we have an easy and defined way of describing
what AEGEE actually is and does.
In this newsletter, you will find more information about Agora Zaragoza. If
you became super motivated by being there, you can find two great
opportunities for getting involved below.
Have a cosy November,
Your AEGEE team in Brussels!

The AEGEEan Section
An amazing ZarAgora organized in the center of Europe in the middle of
nowhere
The ZarAgora ended some time ago but the memories of the fantastic event
organized by AEGEE-Zaragoza remain with the participants that now have
returned to their respective cities. There is no doubt that, despite being
a peaceful Agora and a little bit flat on content for many people, many
will remember ZarAgora for the great organization by AEGEE-Zaragoza and
their helpers.

“EU democratic gap” Y Vote 2014 convention in Las Palmas
The second Y Vote Convention took place in Las Palmas de Gran Canarias,
Spain. The topic was EU democratic gap. What is EU democratic gap (or
democratic deficit)? It is the distance between the EU institutions and the
European citizens, who feel that the decision-making is too complex and
that the EU is too far away to impact their lives.

NetCom Times: Subcommissioners across the Network with passion for
helping antennae
The Network Commission is a team full of people that several AEGEEans know

like being a subcommie for a Network Commissioner.
