Europe on Track – Launch from Leuven!

Nov 27, 2012

Saturday morning (24th November) has witnessed the official launch of the Europe on Track project,
with the six ambassadors leaving Brussels and the AEGEE-Europe head office to attend the
Network Meeting in Leuven: Cooperating or Co-epibrating.

After a nice tour around the charming city, the participants and the travellers arrived back to the venue
of the event and the programme continued with the presentation of the Europe on Track project.
Besides presenting the concept and objectives of the project, the audience was also invited
to contribute to the thematic part and share their ideas on how exactly the ambassadors
should capture the visions of young people.

Since various sessions during the Network Meeting had already provided a strong base for
implementing ideas on cooperation and possibilities to enhance the synergy of the AEGEE
Network, Europe on Track received a lot of insightful feedback and more importantly, great
interest from the Network. Both the coordination team and the participants will definitely
take these ideas into consideration in the further development of the project.

So what is going to happen exactly?

Team Red (Heloise, Natalia and Bennie) are on their way to Paris right now, while
Team Blue (Cristina, Manuel and Mathieu) are enjoying the hospitality of AEGEE-Enschede
since yesterday evening. The teams’ plan is to continue the adventure and discover
what young people think about the Europe of tomorrow.

What do You think – youth unemployment, lack of environmental awareness, lack of innovation;
is Europe on the right track? Increased budget for entrepreneurial initiatives, youth guarantees
for freshly graduate, prioritizing green economy; what would be your solution?

On online survey is going to be launched soon – we invite you to submit your questions and ideas!

Find out how you can shape Europe – follow our ambassadors and Europe on Track!

We would like to thank AEGEE-Leuven for hosting the launch of the event
and wish them good luck with organising such quality events like this Network Meeting was!
