#WHAT Open Call for Key to Europe 2017-2018 Core team
#WHEN March - July 2018
#WHO you!
#DEADLINE 14th March, 23:59 CET

We are happy to announce the Open Call for Key to Europe 2017-2018 Core Team members.
Key to Europe is AEGEE’s annual publication, presenting our work and achievements, providing an overview of our activities throughout the respective year and an insight into the possibilities for the upcoming year. It is one of our main tools for external representation, but also a nice way of updating the Network and keeping our partners informed about our current initiatives.

This year we want to change the timeline a bit and to freshen up the format! The idea is to publish the document in July and to make it more modern, bright and up-to-date 

You can check task descriptions and requirements here
