AEGEE's Euro Campaign 1997 / 1998

Young Europeans involved in EMU preparations!

In 1997 and the beginning of 1998, AEGEE has organised its biggest project ever sofar: "Europe and Euro…". With conferences, seminars, local events and an essay competition, AEGEE has sucessfully managed an information campaign for young people, concerning the EMU and the introduction of a single currency, the Euro. With the support of the European Commission, AEGEE took the opportunity to inform them about the implications and possible consequences of the EMU. As the EMU will have a huge impact on our society, it is this generation that has to be involved actively and to be informed objectively. The results will be presented in April 1998.

As the EMU requires enormous change and flexibility of the European society, the process of change needs to be guided in a proper way to be implemented sucessfully. Information for and communication with the citizens is one of the keys to a succesfull introduction of the euro and the success of the EMU in the long run.

Being the largest interdisciplinary students association in Europe, AEGEE wanted to inform and involve as many young people as possible from all over Europe in the process of the EMU.

With an essay competition, conferences, seminars and local events, spread out all over Europe, AEGEE actively wanted to discuss the EMU and to prepare the next generation.

To gather the information and summarise the results of the different events a Final Conference has been organised in December 1997. AEGEE has published a resultbrochure of the project. In case you would like to get a copy of this brochure please write to:
