AEGEE (Association des Etats Généraux des Etudiants de l’Europe / European Students’ Forum) is a student organisation that promotes co-operation, communication and integration amongst young people in Europe. As a non-governmental, politically independent, secular and non-profit organisation AEGEE is open to students and young people from all faculties and disciplines – today it counts 13,000 members, active in more than 200 university cities in 40 European countries, making it the biggest interdisciplinary student association in Europe. AEGEE-Europe has currently three Focus Areas that AEGEE, as an organisation, is committed to: - The Eco-Responsible Society Focus Area- which aims for young people to contribute to a society that respects planetary boundaries. - The Bridges of Dialogue Focus Area - which aims for young people to act as ambassadors for peaceful and constructive dialogue to contribute to preventing and resolving societal conflicts. - The Digital Culture Focus Area - which aims for young people to be able to contribute to a digital society which allows for responsible and open discourse. The recognition of volunteering and non-formal education as an essential part of the curriculum of an individual is also one of AEGEE's core commitments. One of AEGEE's main goals is to empower its members, giving them the tools to become the leaders of the future. The knowledge, learning and soft-skills acquired by its members after organising and participating in a variety of events, conferences and training courses provide the perfect synergies between their formal education and non-formal education. Their volunteering skills, dedication, passion and hard work provide its members with a competitive advantage in the job market, increasing their employability. In addition, its members are settled in a multicultural and multilingual environment which allows them to become citizens of Europe and the World.
