So where do we stand at the very moment? We are excited since our own little baby called “Health4Youth” is going to get an official name and it´s learning to smile. Don´t be afraid of getting lectures “We know how you should live your life and now we are going to point finger,” because that´s not going to happen! What we want to show people, is how they can adapt some parts of their lifestyle, in order to make themselves feel better and prevent diseases. And all this, if anyhow possible, in an attractive, motivating and interactive way. And from what we have seen in the last weeks, the Network really wants to support us with that!
We have contacted our close friends and distant acquaintances from all over AEGEE to help us hosting the events that we want to organize. And although we are not yet going to share were all these magic, healthy events are going to happen, we guarantee it will be legen…wait for it, since health is worth waiting for…dary. All that we can say, is that we expect to have a real healthy impact within AEGEE and hopefully outside of AEGEE as well.
But we cannot have great events without great people in our team. In the Project Development Meeting in Nijmegen last September, six of us gathered to share our thoughts and visions and we drafted our official outline, which has been accepted by the CD. This will lead us to our great moment on stage, the signing of the contract during AGORA Budapest for becoming an AEGEE-Europe project, which we are really excited about. But that´s not all that will happen at the AGORA:
During the AGORA, you can also find us at the Fair, where we will do a little interactive healthy game and share the word about our project. Although we have a great team, we could use all the support we can have. Next to being at the Fair, we also have our own workshop, which is named How important is Health4You(th)? A little hint on the topic, this will be a pretty nice and sweet workshop which will hopefully inspire a lot of people to make a difference in their own or other people´s lives, even if it´s a small one. Because no matter how healthy you think you live, there´s always room for improvement.
So this is where we stand, on the brink of becoming an AEGEE-Europe project and about to burst into action with a very positive and healthy attitude. The next 1,5 year are going to be a great ride on a roller-coaster, and we´re going to enjoy it!
