EBM has finished... now it is Full Agora time!

We don't feel the pressure... now it is our time... we can do it...

The EBM has brilliantly concluded, and the EBM gir... EBM Team did a superb job! Not only they managed to provide AEGEE with a perfect framework for developing the programme, but they did also everything with a big smile on their faces! And even more, they were always available for us to answer questions (and believe me, we had many things to ask; Carol filled several pages of her Agora Notebook with ideas and details to check in detail once we arrive home). Also the CD, the chair team and AEGEE-Istanbul were always ready for discuss organization of the Agora, that will be open in 2 months!!

However, even us as Agora team deserved some rest after an extremely demanding EBM, so we took a day off to enjoy the city. When we will download the pictures. you will have details of how much we enjoyed the sunny Sunday in Riga. Now it is time to go to sleep... a bed in a nice hostel is waiting for us!

It was great to see you (those who could came to Riga) and feel all your support!!

Here you can see the first Agora Alicante video that we have prepared for the EBM.

We had great fun filming it during The Trap II last weekend, and well, it was not that much fun to take hours away from sleep to create the video during EBM, especially after parties, but I hope you like the result.

Get your popcorn and enjoy!! And don't forget to comment!!

Getting ready for the Beach Party

After a hard day of workshops and action meetings, it is time to go to our cozy gym, take out of our luggage our swimsuits and flipflops, honolulu collars and say "Aloha" and an early welcome to the Summer in this Friday's Night party organized by the team of EBM. I am a bit concerned about the temperature in the club, as it is still something like -15ºC outside, but the warmth of the Riga organizers and the unstoppable energy of the participants for sure will make it burn all night. And I heard that Las Palmas helpers are also preparing some surprises...Nothing to fear, I guess :)

I have also an idea to propose to our social programme team: Riga has shown that it is possible a beach party in february in Latvia, why not making an Eskimo party in Alicante? So prepare your wollen socks, your furry coats and your kayaks, and prepare for the ultimate extreme experience next April in Alicante!! Even the Polar bear disguise from AEGEE-Aachen can be reused!

MISSION: Activate delegates

This is the title of the Workshop that people of SAA2011 Team is leading at this very same moment. We are gathering very motivated and active members contributing to the discussion with ideas and proposals, that we will take into account while organizing Agora Alicante as much as we can.

Now we are having an "Oxford Debate" debate on some of the most controversial ideas, like:

• Making attendance to Plennaries compulsory (part of Antenna Criteria)
• First event of any member should be fun / statutory event
• Number of delegates is linked to size of the antenna

What is your opinion on these topics?

Agora in EBM Riga:Live from the White Party

Dear Agora Alicante followers

The SAA2011 Team managed to arrive to the EBM and did the registration. Then we attended a pleasant Opening Ceremony with plenty of traditional dances and some music, before having the first event of the social program, the White party. From the club we are writing this message just before midnight, so I hope many of you are here having fun with us, those of you who could not join us, start getting ready for Agora social program!

Agora team on the way to Riga: Brussels

Half of the Agora Team expedition spent today a wonderful afternoon in Brussels, while other part had to stay one more day in Alicante due to work.

Those in Brussels were enjoying the best the capital of Europe can offer. They brought the sun with them and therefore they could visit monuments and parks without freezing :)

It was an intensive time, leaded by Miguel who already knew the city, we visited the European Institutions, the Parc du Cinquantennaire, then we went to see the Atomium and the Far East Museums.

Then we came back to the city center to get lost in the small streets around Bourse, Grand Place, and le Sablon. And the visit to the disappointingly small --> Manneken Pis. All this sightseeing was carried out with stopovers to taste some pieces of Belgian traditions: Gauffres, Kriek beer and fast food.

We left the best part for the end of the day, when we took tramway 33 to arrive to Rue Nestor de Tiere 15...

                 The Agora Team (live from the CD house), wishing you a safe trip to Riga
