   Network Commission Meeting in Budapest
The meeting of the Network Commission after each Agora is their most
important reunion. Between 26th and 29th of June they have gathered again
in Budapest in order to discuss the most important matters related to the
Network and to their work. The weekend was not only about meetings, but
they also received trainings from Maartje Natrop who represented The
Academy. After these fruitful and hardworking days and a month-long
knowledge transfer period, everyone is ready to serve and protect the
Network!

   Democracy in Practice
AEGEE's new project is called Democracy in Practice. An initiative born
from the Human Rights Working Group several months ago, it got a boost of
motivation during a Training for Trainers in Human RightsEducation,
organised by the Council of Europe. The project already has a solid team
and a list of locals willing to host the different training courses in
democratic participation and human rights.

     Beyond AEGEE
How to provide quality internships?
At a time when we mostly hear negative things about internships
(exploitation, unpaid and unsafe experiences), it is time to discuss how
both young people and employers can actually benefit from them. This idea
was behind the setting up of meeting between employers and the European
Youth Forum.

On 4th June, the European Youth Forum met six employers to discuss a
toolkit for quality internships.
