Adana is the fifth largest city in Turkey and it has a warm climate. In December, they organised a conference about EU Projects and the opportunities of the Erasmus Plus programme and in February, they organised a local thematic conference about empowerment, inspiration and career opportunities for women. \u00a0Also, this Spring a Network Meeting (NWM) is going to take place there. After six years of organising only Summer Universities, AEGEE-Adana decided to take the chance and organise a NWM, too.<\/em><\/p>\n

The AEGEEan: Why did you apply to organise the NWM? When did the idea arise?<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Ekin Yal\u0131n:<\/strong> We have been thinking to organise NWM for more than a year, but we were not ready yet. We have about 15 new active members for six months now and we told ourselves we are ready for a second European event (after the SU Project) in a year and we applied. There were two other valid applications (AEGEE-Hatay and AEGEE-Bak\u0131), but we got selected.<\/p>\n

Who will be responsible for the organisation?<\/strong>
\nI am the main organiser. I have been an active member for one year and a half and right now I am a board member (European Affairs responsible).<\/p>\n

When will the NWM take place and how many participants will be there?<\/strong>
\nIt will take place from 14th through 17th of May and we can host about 30 participants.<\/p>\n

Do you already have plans for the NWM?<\/strong>
\nYes sure! We have some plans for the NWM. We will contact some sponsors and we will meet \u00a0with the university and municipality.<\/p>\n

Last December, you organised a conference about EU projects and the opportunities of Erasmus+ with about 350 students attending. Can you tell us more about it? How did you come up with the idea to organise it?<\/strong>
\nCulturally, Turkey is far away from Europe, so Turkish students are wondering about it. Discovering Europe is pretty hard for Turkish young people. Erasmus+ is a big advantage to explore Europe and and to expand our career opportunities in our work life . \u00a0So we decided to organise this conference. We wanted to share the Erasmus+ opportunities to all students and the conference was attended by around 350 participants.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Recently you\u00a0organised a local thematic conference about empowerment, inspiration and career opportunities for women. How did you decide about the topic? Can you tell us a bit more about the conference?<\/strong>
\nThis conference was\u00a0a cooperation with the Turkish Women’s International Network (TurkishWIN). They contacted us and we grabbed the opportunity.\u00a0We had ten members in the organising team. There were two speakers: Melek Pulatkonak, founder and curator of TurkishWIN and Ebru Tuygun, a businesswoman from Adana. It’s name was “From Microsoft to Social Entrepreneurship Journey” and we had about 150 attendees.<\/p>\n
