Agora Enschede is approaching and as the past Agora, the AEGEEan will try to help you to understand more the Proposals which will be discussed during the Prytania. These four are about the Locals and how they function.<\/em><\/p>\n

Improving Regulations on Contracts\"1394132_312694742255857_7335202765528319807_n\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Proposed by Jorge S\u00e1nchez Hern\u00e1ndez on behalf of AEGEE-Dresden. During Autumn Agora Cagliari 2014 the denomination\u00a0given to a contact was changed from “Contact of AEGEE-Europe in cityname” to “AEGEE Contact in cityname”. This was decided to make PR easier for Contacts. At that time this change was not included in the CIA, so this is the case.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the proposer would like to allow Contacts to send more than two observers to the Agorae, in order to\u00a0educate the new members that attending an Agora is a very important matter for an AEGEEan. This has also the aim to decrease the number of people going to an Agora as Visitors just to visit the hosting city and party hard.<\/p>\n

\"12309839_442342192626483_5607959170783160000_o\"Updated Cd’A of AEGEE-Academy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lia Tuska and Zvonimir Canjuga on behalf of Comit\u00e9 Directeur are proposing to strengthen the cooperation\u00a0between AEGEE-Europe and AEGEE-Academy by\u00a0updating the Convention d’Adehsion of the latter.<\/p>\n

The commitment of AEGEE-Academy to provide training to AEGEE-Europe will be more specific. So not only AEGEE-Academy has to provide trainings to the individual members of Locals, but\u00a0also skills development opportunities, based on Non-Formal Education methodologies, to AEGEE locals, as well as their individual members of Locals. Moreover AEGEE-Europe will recognise The Academy as\u00a0the official pool of trainers of AEGEE-Europe.<\/p>\n

AEGEE-Academy as a training organisation has developed during the years of its existence partnerships and relationships with other organisations, so in this proposal we can find more specific information about how and with whom it can cooperate. This has the purpose to give more independency to the Academy, which will have the right\u00a0to collaborate with any organisation with similar scope, except for the ones in which AEGEE-Europe holds a position as member, partner, advisor or consultative status.<\/p>\n

Moreover the Comit\u00e9 Directeur will appoint a member to be part of the board of the Academy who will have the same rights and obligations of the others elected board members. The Academy should also commit to support AEGEE-Europe and all its members, partner organisations and organs in all the internal educational needs with relevant training activities.<\/p>\n

Rewriting the Antenna Criterion number 12 included in: Antenna – Remaining an Antenna<\/strong>\"14940215_1093538247410230_6525376620196546399_o\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s start explaining what we are talking about (if you know how the Action Agenda and Strategic Plan work you can skip the first paragraph)!<\/p>\n

The Strategic Plan (SP) is drafted every three years during an event called Planning Meeting. In the thematic part of this document\u00a0you can find the Focus Areas on which AEGEE will concentrate its activities and events. The ones we will have starting from the 1st of August will be Civic Education, European Citizenship, Youth Development and Equal Rights. The Action Agenda (AA) is drafted each year in an event called European Planning Meeting (EPM). This is like a yearly list of objectives that tries to put into practice what is written in the Strategic Plan. So it can happen that if\u00a0you organise an event about Youth Development (Focus Areas of the SP) but you do not fulfill the Action Agenda objectives related to that Focus Area, it is not counted as an event that contributes to the Action Agenda. The Action Agenda Coordination Committee (ACT) is the one who controls and approves if the locals have organised or not activities which contribute to the Action Agenda.<\/p>\n

Experiencing this everyday, Juragis Garc\u00eda, Cristina de la Parte and Svenja van der Tool on behalf of Action Agenda Coordination Committee would like to change the 12th criterion for remaining an Antenna. Right now it states that it’s a duty of an antenna to organise at least once every two years a European Event that contributes to the Strategic Plan. In case a local cannot organise it, it can be replaced by two local activities contributing to the Strategic Plan.<\/p>\n

This proposal\u00a0will make the locals organise two local activities each year (which can be replaced by a European Event – the opposite of how it is now) which contribute to the Action Agenda and not the Strategic Plan anymore. These activities must be approved by the Action Agenda Coordination Committee beforehand. This process is structured like this:\u00a0the local\u00a0sends an email to the ACT\u00a0explaining the activity they would like to organise. Afterward the ACT will approve or not the activity. Moreover, this criterion obliges locals to maintain an active communication with the ACT, via the ACTie they have been assigned to.<\/p>\n

Antennae Criteria Reform proposal<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"16251601_1512829345401566_4148033573366335398_o\"Six\u00a0months ago the Network Commission handed out a survey to gather opinions of the locals\u00a0regarding Antenna Criteria. After processing all these data, Alejandra Piot P\u00e9rez-Abad\u00edn, Aleksandra Mojsova, Alin Andrei Georgescu, Gabriele Scollo, Kristina Reshetova, Loes Rutten, Mareike Ritter, Pablo Palaz\u00f3n Riquelme, Spyros Papadatos and Stanislav Mahula on behalf of the Network Commission drafted an Antenna Criteria Reform Proposal that is presented. Here below in bullet points the list of changes.<\/p>\n
