Dear Network,
the Summer University season have already started and many of you are either in your SU destinations, or preparing for it... or already coming back! We hope that these will be the experiences of a lifetime to all of you, that it will bring you a handful of amazing memories, and will learn a lot from the wonderful diversity in Europe.
In the meantime, the Comité Directeur is facing our last weeks in office, and even the new CD is arriving throughout this week. We are starting our Knowledge Transfer with lots of excitement, even if this year is coming to an end. However, the initiatives of AEGEE are not stopping and you can apply to many open calls, so stay active!
Europeanly yours,
The Comité Directeur 2015-2016
Aleksandra, Ander, Anna, Maryana, Pablo, Réka & Svenja

'Brexit' must be a wake-up call for the European institutions and its Member States
AEGEE reacts to the 'Brexit' referendum results: it undoubtedly poses a challenge to European integration, but also an opportunity to regenerate and energise the European Union, reform it and pave the way to a real Europe of citizens. AEGEE members have a key role in this, so let's keep spreading our values and how the idea of borderless cooperation can be put into practice!
A special mention goes to our antennae in the UK: AEGEE-London, AEGEE Canterbury, AEGEE-Aberdeen, AEGEE-Manchester for the strong commitment and great efforts: they have campaigned actively and raised awareness in their cities on the consequences of the vote - regardless of the outcome of the referendum. Therefore, we must keep taking action together and respond to the upcoming challenges by joining efforts. |
AEGEE strengthens cooperation with Council of Europe
AEGEE was represented by our President Aleksandra at the Intergenerational Forum with the focus on youth and the Conference of INGOs of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. It was a great opportunity to exchange project ideas for new initiatives and strengthen our cooperation with the Council of Europe.
