Found an AEGEE local!

Do you live in a city without AEGEE and are you enthusiastic to bring AEGEE to your city, then you can found an AEGEE Contact in your city and join our great Network!

In wanting to become a Contact you are showing your interest and willingness to share the values, mission and vision of AEGEE.

Below you can find some useful information about the procedure and the stages of establishing an AEGEE Contact and also about the rights and obligations you will have during this amazing journey.

All you need to remember is that even the biggest Locals in AEGEE, counting hundreds of members, were only Contacts a few years ago! Their members were ready to face all the challenges you are up to at the moment… The start is never easy, but believe us, it is worth doing it! Let’s begin, shall we?

How to get started?

To become a Contact, there are a number of steps you will have to complete. But do not worry, in this process you will be supported by a member of the Board of Directors and a designated contact person from the European Level of AEGEE. 

Step 1

Try to look for other people interested in setting up an AEGEE Local. A good idea is to look for friends with the same interests, groups from University of students sharing AEGEE interests, etc.

Step 2

Leave behind your contact details so that the Board of AEGEE-Europe can assess the potential of AEGEE in your city and help you bring your fantasy into reality. Through a video chat, we will try to answer any questions and discuss in detail how to best use your potential.

Step 3

Approach your University to get a support letter for your new AEGEE Contact (example). If you cannot get a support letter for some reason, contact the Network Director to explain the situation and ask how to proceed.

Step 4

Fill out the application form and send it (including the University’s support letter) to network@aegee.eu. In this application form, you will be asked to provide a clear motivation letter, a description of the situation in your city and some other relevant information to form an AEGEE Contact.

Step 5

Your application will be reviewed, after which the Board of Directors will let you know whether your application has been accepted. Hopefully, there is good news, and you officially become a Contact of AEGEE-Europe and a part of the AEGEE family!
