AEGEE-A Coru\u00f1a is hosting the Spring Network Meeting (NWM) which is going to take place in April, 24th to 26th April and they are going to host 60 participants. Alejandra Piot P\u00e9rez Abad\u00edn, main organizer of the NWM and Olga Rivero Men\u00e9ndez, Network Commissioner answered some questions to the AEGEEan.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The AEGEEan: Why did you apply to organise the NWM? When did the idea start?<\/strong>
\nAlejandra Piot P\u00e9rez Abad\u00edn:<\/strong>\u00a0We decided to apply because this year there have been so many changes in our antenna, and so many new members. That’s why we believe that we are ready to organise an event like this. Ruth San Jos\u00e9 Blasco, president of AEGEE-A Coru\u00f1a, proposed the idea in a meeting, and all of us wanted to organise it.<\/p>\n

Who will be responsible for the organisation?<\/strong>
\nWe are six organisers. Me as main organiser, Roy Avellaneda Garc\u00eda (incoming responsible), Andr\u00e9s Merayo Arroyo (social program responsible), Ruth San Jos\u00e9 Blasco (treasure and fundraising responsible), Adri\u00e1n “Adri” L\u00f3pez Ferreiro (Netcom liaisons responsible) and Gonzalo Vieites Charl\u00f3n (Logistic Responsible).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What are your plans for the NWM?<\/strong>
\nWe have a really strong social program. We want to show to our participants, topics from\u00a0Galicia, like \u201cqueimada\u201d [a punch made by Aguardente, lemon peel, coffee and sugar that is set alight, ed.<\/em>] \u00a0and typical music.\u00a0By the way, if they come for our pre-event, we organise a city tour and a visit to the most\u00a0ancient lighthouse which is still working, Hercules Tower.<\/p>\n

Why should someone visit A Coru\u00f1a?<\/strong>
\nBecause is a beautiful city, with a lot of things to do. I think that everyone should visit A Coru\u00f1a before they die. We can show to our participants all the hidden places, all the history,\u00a0which is so much. They will be surprised.<\/p>\n

What about the program of the event?<\/strong>
\nOlga Rivero Men\u00e9ndez:<\/strong> Since there are still some weeks left for the event, we are still drafting the program. There are some new obligatory sessions prepared by Network Commissioners and Comit\u00e9 Director that will be delivered in every NWM of the Network, and we will also have some sessions related to the work that some of the trainers we have in mind have been developing later. What we can assure is that we are \"\"<\/a>preparing some content that participants find interesting and useful for their development as AEGEE members!<\/p>\n

Do you have appointed trainers?<\/strong>
\nWe are still waiting for them to confirm their attendance, but we do have some people in mind apart from Paul Smits, who will come as CD appointed member, and the members of La Tripulaci\u00f3n that will be able to attend. For sure trainers will be awesome.<\/p>\n

What is the main goal of the NWM? Can you share some ideas you already have about it?<\/strong>
\nWhat we expect with this NWM is that all the participants can go home after it with the feeling that they have actually learned something. We don\u2019t want to focus just on a certain thing, but on all the topics that can be interesting and important for the locals in our area. We also want the event to be a fruitful discussion meeting, and we hope that everybody present will raise all questions and problems they have so they can get some kind of profitable answer or solution for them, or at least some tips and new ideas that can be useful.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat if it was love..?\u201d Who came up with this title? Is there a meaning behind it?<\/strong>
\nAs I have been told by AEGEE-A Coru\u00f1a organisers, they were looking for ideas for the image of the event for sending their candidature for being hosting antenna and found an image of a graffiti painted in a wall that said \u201cWhat if it was love..?\u201d. They thought that this sentence could be also interpreted as the sensation you get when things go right, and so they used it as the name of the event! I guess that it was love at the end, as their candidature was simple awesome.<\/p>\n
