Summer, summer, summer is over. However, the list for the Network Commission (NetCom) candidates has just begun. Here is where Sofia Kaskari from AEGEE-Peiraias comes in. She is no stranger to AEGEE both on a local and European level, and she is here to share with us some of her future plans.<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Let us start with that basic question: you and AEGEE – how did it all begin?<\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It started two years ago when I joined my first Local Training Course (LTC). Less than two weeks after that, I got in the board of my local.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We know you are already in the NetCom so why re-apply? Why not try something new?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As NetCom Assistant I have done some things and I have set some bases for my future work. So I want to continue it and I am sure that now with the experience I have gained, my work will be much better. Also my term as president is about to end, and I will have more time to work, and focus totally on the Network Commission. In addition, working with the NetCom team has been amazing, so it is not something that I want to stop now.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How do your studies help in relation with the position you are running for?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Generally in order to be a part of the Network Commission team you do not need to study something specific. But every field of studies could be useful for something. For example I study political science and public administration, and it helped me make the Agreement of Cooperation with the delegation of the European Commission in Greece and the Greek-speaking locals.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You have quite an ambitious programme in your candidature. What are your priorities?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think my programme is realistic, it is focusing on things that I already know or have already done, and I think that they can be improved.<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One of the most classic questions of all: quantity or quality? Will you focus on increasing the\u00a0number of antennae or strengthening the ones that already exist?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A combination of both. Increasing the number of antennae is not the only point but also taking care of the other antennae in order to \"\"<\/a>have a healthy network. Creating a new antenna is not the easiest thing as you have to be really careful and protective in order to keep it alive after it is founded.<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How do you plan to combine your responsibilities as president of your antenna and as a Network Commissioner?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will be president until the beginning of December so I will not have to combine them and I will have more time to work with my locals.<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Is there anything you would like to share with your readers regarding what you have learned so far in AEGEE?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The thing that I learned from AEGEE\u00a0 is that the more active in it you become, the more exciting your life gets!<\/p>\n
