Recently, I tried to attend a Network Meeting (NWM) for the first time in my one and a half year of AEGEE life. Despite obstacles such as the short period of time (three-four days), location was not too far away so I could go there any time, workshops similar to others made me doubt attending it but in the end… Read more →
Do you know what AEGEE-Riga, AEGEE-Tartu and AEGEE-Valletta have in common? In the Facebook era, we could say they have a friend in common: the Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF), a network can open many doors to their members and facilitate the foundation of new projects.

So if you haven’t found a nice boy/girl to spend time with, well, it is time for AFTERPARTY! So what to do? Coming back from AEGEE-Valletta, where afterparty was as important as the party itself, I will… Read more →
