The Fall Agora of AEGEE, was held in Kiyv (Ukrain) on 22 – 25th October
600 AEGEE members from all over Europe were visiting Kiyv, to participate in the Biannual General Assembly of the association, the Agora.
Agora comes from the Greek word “αγορ” and stands for “Marketplace”. Since in ancient Greek cities, the agora was an open space serving as an assembly area and backdrop for commercial, civic, social, and religious activities and debates. In the style of this tradition, the general assembly of AEGEE provokes discussions about Europe, the role of young Europeans and our visions for the continent.
It is the most important event concerning the functioning of the association, and it is a platform for young Europeans to discuss the future of Europe. All the 241 local antennas of AEGEE are represented by their elected delegates, who negotiate and set up the guidelines for the future directions of the association.
The Agora also elects the members of the Comité Directeur and Commissions of AEGEE-Europe. As the result of this Agora’s elections, the following members of AEGEE became members of the European bodies of the association:
