ACT will be there, PRC will be there, EaP will be there, but the question is: “Will you be there?”. All these abbreviations might create a question mark in your mind. “What is EaP?”, “What is PRC?”, “What is ACT?” are all questions that you could be left with right now. How can you find the answer? Go to the AEGEE fair!
Of course The AEGEEan could simply tell you that EaP is the abbreviation for the Eastern Partnership Project, ACT is the abbreviation for the Action Agenda Coordination Team, and PRC is the abbreviation for the Public Relations Committee, but that does not fully answer the question “Who are they?”. It is not often that you get to ask questions, meet the people behind the Network Commission, or have the courage to go and talk with the CD members, but if you are one of the lucky Agora participants, then you will get the opportunity to do just that. How? By attending the AEGEE fair!
The AEGEE fair is organised by CD responsible Guillermo García Tabarés and AEGEE fair manager Patricia Anthony, in close cooperation with AEGEE-Enschede and the chair team. It will take place on May 2nd, from 10 AM to 13 PM. During those 3 hours, the participants will have the opportunity to hear grasping stories about the twin antennae bond between AEGEE-Beograd and AEGEE-Istanbul, play “Who wants to be a millionaire?” with the Network Commission, learn about the opportunities of joining the Eastern Partnership Project or the Human Resources Committee, and about how to become a journalist or proofreader for The AEGEEan. In total, there will be more than 25 bodies present at the AEGEE fair, ready to answer your questions.
The AEGEE fair booklet – Coming to a computer near you
The AEGEEan was created by the PRC, so it was an obvious choice for us to work in close cooperation on the booklet for the fair. We understand that Agora participants will already be busy reading booklet after booklet, but hope that you will also take the time to read about who will be present at the AEGEE fair. The booklet includes information about (almost) each stand, what they will do, and who will be there to answer your questions. It required a lot of hard work from the AEGEE fair team, the presenters, proofreaders and especially Network Commission candidate Réka Salamon, who took the responsibility of leading this project and making sure that each page of the booklet catches the eye and attention of the reader.
The fair is part of the AEGEE opening festival, taking place on May 2nd, from 10 AM to 14 PM (The AEGEE fair is between 10 and 13). Now four hours may seem like a lot, but when you have to register for the Agora, take part in breaking records, visit different stands and reunite with AEGEE friends, then four hours quickly slip away. So think about it, read the booklet, and prepare yourself for an opening festival that will be legen…dary!!!
