Sexperience in Amsterdam

We come across insinuations of sex every day in the songs we listen to, the movies and series we watch and in our relationships. For something so present, we barely discuss it in-depth and with Amsterdam being known for its different view towards sex with our red-light district, this city is the perfect place to start our journey in becoming more aware. Sex is an important emotion that has biological, psychological and social explanations. We can look at science, our society and our different views to become more aware of our norms and values.

This weekend you’ll participate in workshops to learn about the red light district and sexology from experts. Moreover, there will be discussions to share our opinions, so we can all learn from each other!! And after our brain is full of so many new insights we’ll go explore the city and do fun and creative activities for a good laugh like dick pimping! So, don't wait and apply!

AEGEE NEWS
AEGEE Social Responsibility Fund
Dear AEGEEans,

With the application period for Spring Agora Novi Sad having been opened I want to take the opportunity to inform you that an application form has been integrated in myAEGEE for making requests to the AEGEE Social Responsibility Fund.
For those that do not know about it, the AEGEE Social Responsibility Fund (ASRF) exists to provide financial support to AEGEE members that cannot attend events and experience all the opportunities that AEGEE offers at its fullest due to their socio-economic situation.
So if you need this aid to pay for visa expenses, travel costs or the fee of an event, you can apply for the fund through this
 link.
Do you want to help make ASRF more sustainable in the long-run, accessible and inclusive for all members?

  1. You can make a donation of the amount you choose in the following link.
  2. Use our affiliate links (https://linktr.ee/TravelSustainableWithAEGEE) when travelling by train across Europe. The revenue we receive from here will go in full towards supporting the ASRF. By doing this, you are one link away from contributing your part to make AEGEE more inclusive for everyone! (For future reference, this link can also be found on myAEGEE under Resources-Discounts).
