Every Netcommie has the responsibility of organizing at least one NWM per year, and since Agora Istanbul, attending a NWM has become a new Antenna Criterion. The Network Commission is an internal organ that takes care of the network as a whole, with its 11 members, each in charge of a number of locals closest to their place of residence, offering support and assistance to their respective AEGEE locals.<\/p>\n<p>The NWM has an internal administrative focus, and deals with issues such as best practices, cooperation between locals and connection to the European Level. Very important topics to be discussed are the statutory events, Agora and EBM. The NWM can be either preparatory for the Agora\/EBM, discussing proposals, candidatures, common interests, current and future projects as well as a follow-up, putting together the ways to best implement the changes or direction recently adopted and decide upon the locals\u2019 contribution to the European Level relevant issues (such as the Focus Areas, the Strategic Plan \u2013 current and future \u2013 Flagship Topic, Flagship Project etc.)<\/p>\n<p>This spring\u2019s Network Meetings are taking place in: Kyiv, Warszawa, T\u00fcbingen, Sibiu, Bratislava, Schiermonnikoog, Abertawe, Lyon, Magusa, Novi-Sad, Catania, K\u00f8benhavn and Granada.<\/p>\n<p>The program of each Network Meeting has to be approved by the person in charge of Network in the Comit\u00e9 Directeur (usually referred to as Network Director). According to the needs of the locals as decided upon by the Netcommie and the Network Director specific trainings can be included in the program of a NWM, in cooperation or with the support of the Academy \u2013 Human Resources Working Group.<\/p>\n<p>The main topics of the NWMs include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Planning (NWM Sibiu, NWM Magusa)<\/li>\n<li>PR (NWM Catania, NWM T\u00fcbingen)<\/li>\n<li>Quality of events (NWM Novi Sad)<\/li>\n<li>Volunteering (NWM Warszawa)<\/li>\n<li>Aim of AEGEE(NWM Granada)<\/li>\n<li>Motivation (NWM K\u00f8benhavn)<\/li>\n<li>Local management and sustainability (NWM Kyiv, NWM Abertawe, NWM Lyon, NWM Bratislava)<\/li>\n<li>Fundraising and sponsoring (NWM Schiermonnikoog)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During every NWM, a member of the Comit\u00e9 Directeur is present, in order to support the program as a trainer and as an active participant in discussions and debates. The decision regarding which member goes to which NWM is made by the CD according to the program that has already been decided upon and the competences of each member of the Comit\u00e9 Directeur.<\/p>\n<p>The NWMs take place every half year (give or take a few weeks) and are usually divided between spring and autumn NWMs. It\u2019s common that no consecutive NWM takes place in the same local and the decision who hosts the NWM is up to the Netcommie responsible for the area in question.<\/p>\n<p>This spring round of NWM has already started, with 8 NWMs taking place before the Agora in Alicante, and 5 more taking place soon after. They have already been published on the intranet and are visible in the Calendar of Events section since before European Boards\u2019 Meeting in Riga in February and applications are still open for some of them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This spring a total of 13 Network Meetings are going to take place in different corners of Europe.
