Dear Network,
the last two weeks have been surprisingly sunny and quiet in Brussels. However, we are currently working hard finalising our Activity Plan for this term, which will be presented to you within the next few days.
Moreover, AEGEE never really sleeps or takes holidays, so we are bringing you the latest news from our Network. Autumn Agora Kyïv, only two months away, takes a big part of the share - the open call for participants is still ongoing and, what's more, several pre-events will be organised.
But there is much more than this; the International Youth Day, the AEGEE Election Observation's training course, plenty of external events and updates in our social media channels.
We wish you a pleasant reading!
Your Comité Directeur 2015/16
Aleksandra, Ander, Anna, Maryana, Pablo, Réka & Svenja

Being young in Europe - did you know...?
12th August was the International Youth Day. On the occasion, Eurostat published some interesting facts and figures as well as some data visualisations on young people in the European Union. What is the percentage of young people who are active in social media? When do we move out from our parents' home? What do I have in common with other young Europeans? Play the game!
