Where Does Europe End 2.0

Boss — Thu, 18 Nov 2021 13:57:39 +0000

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

Boss — Sun, 19 Aug 2018 14:14:22 +0000

Y Vote is an AEGEE project whose goal is to raise awareness about the importance of voting in the European Elections and the youth’s role in political activism, representation and advocacy. Through this project, we hope to raise awareness to the youth on European values and the role and impact of the Parliament in their everyday life. We also have the ambition for the youth to understand their potential impact on the democratic process and their community.

Our activities around the project include:

– Our agenda for Europe where we create a space in order to deepen people’s understanding of the institutions and offer them a space for discussion and debate. Conventions then take place in our AEGEE locals lasting 1 to 4 days. They include thematic workshops and social activities.

–An ambassador’s programme where we encourage young people to engage and participate directly in a pan-Europe campaign around the elections. It is mainly aimed at young people who want to get actively involved in volunteering and organising activities in their community while joining a European campaign and a community of like-minded people.

– The Y vote local actions where we encourage youth people to bring the elections closer to their communities. In 2024, 18 local activities were organized in 9 different countries with more than 350 local participants.

Summer University

Boss — Sun, 19 Aug 2018 13:15:45 +0000

The Summer University Project was born in 1988 with the intention of promoting European integration, and it is currently the biggest project in AEGEE which involves more than 2000 young people every year. Summer Universities are events that take place during the summer in most of the cities where AEGEE is present, for a period of one to four weeks.

The SU project offers young people workshops on soft skills, gives an insight to local culture, and gives an opportunity for everyone to meet young people from all over Europe and these are only some of the reasons why this project is and will probably remain one of our most popular programmes!

Europe on Track

Boss — Sun, 19 Aug 2018 12:55:33 +0000

Europe on Track (EoT) is an AEGEE project that is made possible by young volunteers all across Europe. Active since 2013, its goal is to raise awareness around the role of the youth in shaping cultural and civil engagement.

Each year, 6 ambassadors travel in teams by train across over 20 cities in a month to deliver workshops, interview young people and organize events in cooperation with over 200 volunteers from all over Europe. The project also has an online road with a team of 2 to 4 people for even more inclusivity.

This project is non-profit and exists thanks to our sponsors and partners which include Eurail (which makes travelling by train possible), the European Youth Foundation from the Council of Europe and the European Union.

Every year, the volunteers explore different thematics such as “Youth impacting Tomorrow” or “Intersectional identities and their role in shaping political representation and civic engagement” the 11th edition.

AEGEE Eastern Partnership Project 2016 – 2018 is an undertaking created out of commitment of young Europeans who understand the importance of youth initiative.

AEGEE Election Observation

Boss — Sat, 18 Aug 2018 16:59:26 +0000

The AEGEE Election Observation Project (AEO) provides youth’s perspective on elections. This is achieved by training and deploying young people (18-30) on observation missions to parliamentary elections across Europe. Mission reports focus on the challenges young people face as voters, candidates, and generally as actors in the electoral process. AEGEE Election Observation Missions are open to AEGEE members and non-members alike. Since 2014, nearly 500 observers have been deployed on 20 missions to 14 countries.

AEGEE Day

Boss — Fri, 17 Aug 2018 17:04:39 +0000

AEGEE Day is an annual celebration held by AEGEE. It is typically celebrated on or around April 18th, the date marking the foundation of the organization in 1985.

This day serves as a symbolic moment to celebrate the unity and cultural diversity of AEGEE, to reflect on youth empowerment and connect local AEGEE antennas through events and initiatives.

Each year, AEGEE locals across Europe organise a variety of activities to celebrate such as:

– Workshops and seminars on European topics and engagement

– Cultural exchanges and themed events highlighting local traditions

– Social activities and parties

– Volunteering and community outreach programs

In 2025, AEGEE turned 40 years old! To celebrate, a special celebration was held with a training event and a gala in Groningen, bringing together members from across Europe to consecrate the four decades of AEGEE.

Come celebrate!
