Dear AEGEEans! Here is the bi-weekly newsletter of AEGEE-Europe, full of
news, opportunities and AEGEE Spirit!

Dear AEGEEans, it's a pleasure to introduce you to *AEGEE Discounts: the
platform for discounts for AEGEEans.*

You forgot the link of the FlixBus discounts? Can't remember where to get
the 5€ codes of N26 or can't find the way to support AEGEE-Europe through
EDUopinions? Shipping something but don't know the code for Eurosender?
Just go to aegee.org/discounts <https://www.oms.aegee.org/static/discounts/>

new partnership that benefits AEGEEans

During the EPM, we discussed the further steps that AEGEE wants to take in
our four Focus Areas – Equal Rights, Civic Education, Youth Development &
European Citizenship. As a result, we have created a first draft of the *Action
Agenda 2018-2019. *

You can find more information about the Focus Areas, the Action Agenda and
the Working Groups on the Members' Portal <http://aegee.org/portal>.
Subsequently, we invite you to read the draft objectives for the four
different Focus Areas and join the discussion on the Forum
<http://aegee.org/forum> (behind log-in) and in our Facebook group.
Furthermore, in cooperation with the Working Groups, we decided to organize
Hangouts for the separate Focus Areas in order to open a window of time to
modify altogether the draft objectives and then to continue to give
feedback.

This online consultation and discussion period end on April 9th.
Afterwards, the Comité Directeur will review the feedback and present a
proposal for the Action Agenda 2018-2019 to be discussed and voted upon
during Agora Kraków.

For any questions regarding the development of the Action Agenda 2018-2019,
do not hesitate to *contact us* at [log in to unmask] For any other
