In the latest issue of Key To Europe four AEGEEans are expressing their opinions about volunteering in general and volunteering in AEGEE in particular.
But they are not the only ones with opinions. Listen to 3 more AEGEEans and hear (or rather read) what they have to say!
Alla Resheten, AEGEE-Kyїv
I am volunteering because I want to make my contribution to the society. I want to bring young people from all over Europe closer and make them understand that even if we are all different – we can be together, we can work for the same aim and achieve results. I am volunteering in AEGEE because here I can find a group of people who will support my ideas and will help me to make them real.
Jüri Kirpu, AEGEE-Tallinn & Comité Directeur
AEGEE has provided me a way to explore and discover myself. AEGEE has a way of connecting people from different backgrounds, which brings together an awesome synergy of thoughts, that can go beyond what we as individuals think is not possible. I have had the privilege to be surrounded by these amazing people that know that they can make a difference and who have proven that even one person is enough to do great things.
Anamaria Cociorva, AEGEE-Lund
Maybe it sounds like a cliche, but I really cannot rephrase it in a better way: AEGEE did change my life and I still think that it is the best thing which happened to me so far: because of AEGEE I have started to travel, decided to have a master abroad and finally lived in another country. AEGEE stands for the freedom to be yourself and a world in which the impossible might become possible.
When people ask me why I am so addicted to AEGEE, the first explanation I give them is the strong incentive to be thankful for those wonderful moments, unforgettable memories, inspiring people, great friendships, and more… And what is better than trying to help other people to benefit from all this?
