Member of the Month - Ruben Navarro

The latest recipient of the Member of the Month award is a board member of AEGEE-Tarragona, but also speaker of the Action Agenda Coordination Committee (ACT): Ruben Navarro. His efforts did not pass unseen so we spoke with him to discover more about this guy (who is also one of the latest additions to The AEGEEan Team). Read the article here.

The Forum, or How We Missed The Magic This Time

One of the points in the 52nd CD’s Activity Plan that brought some expectation was the creation of a platform for discussion for AEGEE. As most of the readers probably know, one of the means of our beloved organisation is ‘a forum for discussion’. That implies that AEGEE has to serve as a space for discussion among young people in Europe, enabling them to discuss about important matters related to our society and of importance for youth. Is this the case? We took a look.

You Have the Right to Write What You Want… Right?

The attack on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, Paris, almost two months ago shocked everyone and put freedom of press higher than the agenda than ever. However, a very important question rose: how free is the press in Europe really?
We tried to answer the question in our article. What do you think?
