Organising an event for 200 people is no easy task. However, it is a task that is possible to overcome, and it does not matter whether or not the antenna hosting it is young or experienced. The secret recipe is to have a strong supportive network and motivation, and the result is Renove. An event that you could read about… Read more →

So different but Twins
Being a member of AEGEE-Moskva since 2007, I joined AEGEE-Valencia and later became Public Relations (PR) Responsible of the Spanish antenna but continued to travel between Russia and Spain. One evening, having a nice time with my friends in Moscow I got an idea from the ex-fundraising responsible (FR) of AEGEE-Moskva, Alexander Orekhov, to create an agreement where both antennae would… Read more →

The (PR) Definition of AEGEE
Have you ever wondered why it is so difficult to explain to anyone what AEGEE is about?

Local of the Month: AEGEE-Kyiv

How should we communicate?
We communicate all the time, especially online and it has already been mentioned once but will be mentioned again that there seems to be lack of interest in AEGEE about how we choose to handle cases especially such as PR, and e-mailing each other.
