AEGEE, stands for Association des États Généraux des Étudiants de l'Europe, and it is known as European Students' Forum in English. It is the largest trans-national, interdisciplinary student organisation in Europe.

Established in 1985, AEGEE currently has around 13,000 members[1] more than 200 local groups (Antennae)[1] in university cities across Europe, including Russia, Turkey and the Caucasus, with a European board and head office in Brussels. It promotes an equal, democratic and unified Europe, open to all across national borders. Several hundred conferences, training and cultural events are organised across the network every year, and AEGEE also advocates for the needs and interests of European students.

The short name "AEGEE" evokes the Aegean sea, one of the birthplaces of democracy, and the full name includes the first parliament established during the France, the États Généraux.[2]

Structure

AEGEE has a yearly elected European board, the Comité Directeur[[3] with a head office in Brussels, and a number of European-level working groups.[4] There is a lot a network of autonomous local groups, the antennae. Active members meet twice a year in Spring and Autumn in a general assembly called Agora, hosted by a different antenna each time. Most candidates for positions at the European level are elected at the Agora, which also ratifies the establishment or deletion of antennae, working groups and projects. There is also a smaller annual European Planning Meeting (EPM), intended to develop projects and campaigns and usually held in late winter: During the EPM, AEGEE also works on developing its Strategic Plan in an Action Agenda for the whole AEGEE network.

The association has no national level, and it does not recognise the current national borders within Europe.

Antennae are supported by the Network Commission, a group of experienced members elected by the Agora to help the network grow and develop. They provide advice, training and practical help, especially with local human resources and event organisation. Each Network Commissioner has responsibility for a number of locals across several national borders, which can be reorganised at each Agora to prevent the creation of any fixed national or regional division.

Each city antenna is a separate legal person under its own local law, not under the direct control of the Comité Directeur. However, to become a part of the AEGEE network, prospective antennae must include the principles of AEGEE's statute within their own, and have them approved by the Comité Directeur and Juridical Commission. They sign a contract called Convention d’Adhésion which allows AEGEE to have an antenna wound up in case of inactivity or serious misconduct.

Membership of an antenna is generally open to anyone younger than 30 living in the local area, upon payment of a membership fee set by the local board. Many antennae concentrate their promotional activities on students at their home university, and are not very visible to outsiders.

Most AEGEE events are open to non-members, however this tends to be poorly promoted except to local students. It is quite common for all participants to be from the host city or other AEGEE antennae. Some activities, most notably the statutory Agorae and EPMs and the Summer University project, are explicitly restricted to AEGEE members who must be approved by their home antenna's board.

AEGEE was founded in France and still uses a number of French terms, but the main working language at European level is now English. The official languages of the Agora are English and French. Most antennae use their own local language for their local activities, however local board members generally need a working knowledge of English.

Mission and vision

Vision

AEGEE strives for a democratic, diverse and borderless Europe, which is socially, economically and politically integrated, and values the participation of young people in its construction and development.

Mission

AEGEE empowers students and young people in Europe to take an active role in society. It creates a space for dialogue and learning opportunities as well as acts as their representative towards decision-makers. Moreover, AEGEE strengthens mutual understanding and brings Europe closer to young people.

Activities

AEGEE organises a wide range of projects which can be categorized by these means.

Intercultural exchange

AEGEE creates a space for members of different backgrounds to meet and learn about cultural differences, in order to foster mutual understanding. AEGEE supports mobility and encourages young people to cross borders and make new friends, to break stereotypes and strengthen tolerance, respect and solidarity.

Personal development and non-formal education

AEGEE provides learning opportunities for the development of its members through non-formal education and informal learning. By participating in trainings courses, workshops, and active involvement in the organisation, our members improve their competences (such as leadership skills, communication skills and team management) which will be useful for their future lives.

Thematic projects

Thematic projects, either local or 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 student point of view. The outcome of this work has an impact in- and outside of AEGEE.

Advocacy and policy

AEGEE gathers the opinions of European students and represents them towards stakeholders through campaigns, lobby actions, conferences and membership in bigger advocacy platforms. In addition, AEGEE informs students and young people about the impact which European policies have in their lives and opportunities they offer.

Forum for discussion

AEGEE provides a space for young Europeans to discuss and exchange different points of view with a European perspective,in order to find a common ground. This exchange of ideas happens in all our activities but a special place for them is our Working groups, conferences and General Assemblies (EPM & Agora).

Affiliations and platforms

AEGEE-Europe is involved in bigger platforms and works with many other international institutions and organizations, in order to bring a students perspective to each one of the processes.

AEGEE-Europe is a full member of the European Youth Forum. AEGEE has had 2 representatives in its history in the Board of Directors of European Youth Forum.

AEGEE-Europe is also full member of the European Movement International (EMI).

AEGEE-Europe works closely inside the Council of Europe. In 2013 AEGEE was elected to be part of the Advisory Council on Youth of the Council of Europe. AEGEE is also involved in the Conference of INGOs and works closely with the Youth Department and the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe.

Projects

Current projects

Summer University Project

The Summer University project aims to promote European integration. It is the main tool that AEGEE uses to attain this difficult, but fascinating target.

Summer Universities are events that take place during the summer in most of the cities where AEGEE is present, lasting between 1 and 4 weeks. Understanding and exploring the multicultural dimension of the European continent, tasting its diversity, removing national borders, fighting for tolerance and creating open-minded citizens are some of the reasons why 20 to 50 young Europeans from all over Europe come together for each Summer University.

Official website of the project: www.aegee.org/su

AEGEE Election Observation

AEGEE Election Observation was initiated in November 2013 after the Human Dimension Implementation Meeting of OSCE/ODIHR in Warsaw. Its first milestone was the Election Observation Mission to the general elections in Ukraine, May 2014. Up to January 2016, 11 Missions are organised in 7 countries.

AEGEE Election Observation aims to:

- Contribute to the transparency and integrity of elections

- Assess the engagement and involvement of young people in electoral processes and communicate its findings

- Train and engage young people in election observation, increasing their capacity to act as democratic citizens

- Build a European network of young people, based on a common vision for a shared democratic future.

Eastern Partnership Project

People do not have equal opportunities across Europe. There are minor or major differences between different areas, which are slowing down, or even halting, the creation of a common, Europe-wide society, in which borders are not barriers.

Working in the same direction as the European Union, within the framework of the Eastern Partnership Programme, gives project a unique and one-in-a-lifetime opportunity of coordinating our activities with a broader, political initiative, which makes the timing ideal to maximise the impact of our efforts.

Official website of the project: www.aegee.org/eap

Y Vote 2014

In May 2014, the European Parliament Elections will be held for the 8th time. At the time of the last European elections, voter turnout was low, especially among young people. The Y Vote 2014 project aims to reverse this trend by encouraging young people to get involved and to turn them into actors at the upcoming European Parliament Elections.

The project consists of many different parts, such as youth conventions, bus tours, training events and local activities throughout Europe. Furthermore, a special voting guide for young people is being developed that will be accessible online.

Official website of the project: www.aegee.org/yvote2014

Health4Youth

The Health4Youth project is a project that tackles the topic of ensuring a healthy lifestyle. This project will bring healthy living closer to students all over Europe with easy little steps. With a team full of creativity the ideas ranging from a YouTube cooking channel to an AEGEE Cookbook, as well as implementing a healthy approach in Summer Universities as well as conferences, seminars and more.

Europe in Exchange

Europe in Exchange aims to make students better informed about mobility programs and possibilities, as well as the benefits of these. Through the activities of AEGEE locals, the project team aims to increase the number of destinations and possibilities for mobility in universities inside and outside the current Erasmus zone, and lobbies in universities for implementing easier procedures and more clear guidelines for applying for mobility programs and respect the Erasmus Student Charter. Moreover, on the European level, Europe in Exchange lobbies for an adequate structure and funding of the mobility programs, including countries outside of the current Erasmus area.

EuroArab

The purpose of the project is to establish relationships between European and Arab youth, while implementing the main aims of AEGEE in a broader sense: striving for creating an open and tolerant society of today and tomorrow and fostering democracy, human rights, tolerance and cross border cooperation. Current political developments and a democratic transition in various Middle Eastern and North African countries is just one of the current issues that add relevance to this initiative. The geographic focus is made up of the European countries where AEGEE locals are present, and Arab countries: Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Sudan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates.

Youth unEmployment

Nowadays students often have to face a trade-off between their academic and non-academic commitment. They contribute to the society as volunteers and by getting involved in workshops, following the foundations of non-formal education. Unfortunately, their work often remains unrecognised by their university and their future employers.

The Youth UnEmployment project wants to tackle these problems by implementing a series of activities that will help young people increase their employability and will lobby for the recognition of voluntary work and non-formal education as work experience.

Past projects

Where Does Europe End?

The project aimed to examine the physical and mental borders of Europe in people’s perception. In the course of the project, a series of conventions were organised, geographically covering different corners of Europe. In these conventions, young participants from all over Europe gathered to meet the local population and discover their concept of Europe, discuss different hot topics related to the European society today, and develop different scenarios for the future of European integration. The name of the project does not only refer to a geographical context, but addresses in a wider sense the limitations and constraints that European cooperation and integration are facing today and will face tomorrow.

Beyond Europe – Perspectives for Tomorrow’s World

Beyond Europe was the Flagship project 2010/2011 that aimed at empowering young people in and outside Europe to tackle global challenges.

The Beyond Europe Project consisted of multiple sub-projects:

‘The UN Millennium Development Goals – A Challenge for Today’s Youth?’ constituted a part of the flagship that literally took us beyond. The initiative aimed to empower young people to contribute to the achievement of the UN Millennium Development Goals. The project mobilised youth in Europe, India and South Africa, and aimed at laying the basis for a sustainable partnership between young citizens in these three regions.

‘Euro-Arab – Understanding each other's challenges’ was an initiative focusing on the exchange of perspectives between students of these two regions, geographically neighbours, yet sometimes seemingly worlds apart.

One World Conventions on Global Challenges werethematic conventions focussing on particular global challenges. These conventions, took place in Europe, organised by AEGEE locals, and assembled different stakeholders with an interest in the respective global challenges.

Y Vote 2009 – European Youth Choice

Vote 2009 was a European wide campaign designed to encourage young people in Europe to make informed choices at European Parliament elections in 2009. It also aimed to empower European youth to stand for the most important social issues in our continent. It has spread those ideas all over Europe in more than 100 European and local activities.

Project activities included a series of small and large-scale actions in diverse formats and through diverse media, with local, regional, national and European dimension, designed to challenge political ignorance and disinterest among young people by providing them with information, competences and motivation to become informed voters and, beyond that, active citizens in the political discourse of their communities and at the European scale.

Sustaining our Future

This Flagship Project for the years 2008 and 2009, initiated and carried out by a multicultural team consisting of young people from different parts of Europe, aimed to raise knowledge and involvement of European youth and their communities in the topic of sustainable development.

The project consisted of local, intermediate and European level different activities like training courses, case study visits, action days, youth exchanges, surveys and conferences focusing on following components: European citizenship, education for sustainable development, sustainable living solutions and consumption patterns and social responsibility of European youth organisations.

History

1985 
The association was born the 16 April 1985 as a result of the EGEE 1 conference (États Généraux des Étudiants de l’Europe), when it held its first event in Paris: an assembly of students from Paris, Leiden, London, Madrid, Milan and Munich, organised by founding president Franck Biancheri in cooperation with five Grandes Écoles in Paris. It had the aim to overcome the paralysis of the European integration process at the time. Franck Biancheri led the whole process and soon all students involved wanted to turn the EGEE conference into an organisation being the platform for young Europeans. The aim of the founders was to create a space for young Europeans to discuss European matters and present their ideas to both the European and national institutions.
Due to the uniqueness of the idea at that time, EGEE was able to stimulate many students to establish antennae in their cities.
