Thematic projects, both local and international, are initiatives developed by members of AEGEE. They deal with current challenges in the European society, create awareness among young people and propose solutions from a students’ point of view.

Where Does Europe End 2.0

VISIT THE PROJECT WEBSITE The Where Does Europe End 2.0 project, is the second edition of the 2010 Where Does Europe End. The aims of the current edition are: Spreading knowledge about European Identity and Europeanism With the organisation of workshops during Case Study Trips and conferences, as well as sharing information through social media and podcasts, we will spread knowledge about this topic. Empower young people to be active in Europe By letting people actively participate in the workshops given, we hope to stimulate participants to do the same outside of our events. Besides this, we would like actively involve participants in discussion about survey results. Examine how young people perceive Europe Next to an online survey, we will conduct live surveying at our Case Study Trips to truly get an overview of how people from different regions perceive Europe.

Y Vote

Y Vote is a European-wide campaign designed to encourage young people in Europe to make informed choices at the European Parliament elections. To become active cititzens, youngsters need to receive better information regarding the European elections, European institutions and the European Union in general. Therefore, conventions and local actions are organised in the year before the elections. A voting guide is developed to help voters find out how to vote in their country as well as from abroad. The project was launched for the European elections in 2009, in the forerun to the 2014 elections, and is currently happening to prepare the European youth for the elections in May 2019. […]

Understanding and exploring the multicultural dimension of the European continent, tasting its diversity, removing national borders, fighting for tolerance and becoming open- minded citizens are only some of the reasons why twenty to fifty young Europeans attend Summer Universities.
