AEGEE NEWS

Europe on Track 7 is on full speed!

As “All routes lead to Inclusion”, we decided to focus it on raising awareness on two hot topics related to the young people in Europe: Gender Equality and Mental Health. Nowadays, mental health is often a stigmatized subject and gender equality still encounters obstacles, such as hate speech or stereotypes and both are interconnected as a lot of mental issues originate due to gender inequality. Stay tuned and join our routes to more inclusive Europe! 

We want to introduce to you the “European Training Calendar 2019”, a project to strengthen the Montopinto Trilanda region (cooperation between the border region of Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands)!

We have trained 8 experienced AEGEEans at the end of October 2018 to become newly trained trainers. Now they want to share their knowledge in the form of non-formal education with you!

Therefore, we are organizing a year of training weekends (8 weekends in total). They will teach you about topics they are interested in. Of course, these training weekends will be open to all AEGEEans, they only take place in this particular region. This training is under a grant so for a fee of 10€ all meals are provided and for 2 nights you will be staying over in a hostel.

Upcoming trainings:

  • Digital Citizenship. Click here.
  • Team Management and Motivation Theory. Click here.

  • Secret agent school of sustainability. Click here.

Finally, we would like to present the new Working Group teams that will contribute to the thematical side of AEGEE in the next months! We are more than excited for the new term and can not wait to see AEGEE locals' contribution to the objectives of WGs. Stay tuned via facebook pages for their plans and news.
