Dear Network,
The activity in AEGEE-Europe's head office is back on track, and with us, the bi-monthly newsletter for our members!
We are back at this time of the year when we are still mistaking our dates and writing unconsciously "2015" (we had to correct it at least twice while making the newsletter...), but really looking forward to our upcoming projects and events, such as the European Planning Meeting in Leiden or the Summer University Project School coming up.
If you decided to get more active in AEGEE as your resolution for 2016, you have several opportunities, ranging from attending several events, to become part of our project teams, or contribute to our upcoming European Citizens' Initiative! Exciting, isn't it?
We wish you a pleasant reading, and that you have had a very nice start of the year!
Europeanly yours,
Comité Directeur 2015-2016
Aleksandra, Ander, Anna, Maryana, Pablo, Réka & Svenja
