Do you know what AEGEE PED is?
Not a new type of event, a new committee and for sure not a new working group! It’s Post-Event Depression.
We all know what’s it like to miss the AEGEE spirit after an AEGEE event. The Network Commission decided to become the official Anti Post-Event Depression Commission thisspring and fill the time between EBM Izmir in February and Agora Enschede in May with extremely interesting Network Meetings.
