Napoli, Italy, 1741 kilometres away from Gent. What the hell where we doing there?
The Fall Agora in Napoli will always be remembered by AEGEE-Gent, since that event we officially could use our name for the first time! In a way, AEGEE-Gent is born at the foot of Vesuvius, almost like a Greek myth ;-). On the 5th of November, the last day of the Agora, Wouter, Stefaan and Sien signed the Convention d’Adhesion. The document that makes a bunch of people an antenna, a part of the big network. Jeej!
Of course a lot more happened at the Agora, since this is the General Assembly of the whole AEGEE-Network. New CD-members were chosen, past work approved, projects presented, events promoted, challenges discussed, cultures physically and mentally tested ;-) (generally speaking), with a looooooong party between the days…
In between even at an Agora you can squeeze in some time to go into the city. Altough there were like a thousand warnings about robbery and there was some mafia-raid going on right before the Agora, it looked like a peaceful city to us. Impressive buildings, looooooooooong boulevards (where the fuck is that train station?) and an unforgettable view at the sea, with Vesuvius somewhere in the middle of the picture. We had Belgian weather tough, so not so much ‘enjoyment’ of the beach…
Next Agora will be in Valletta... In Spring... Already looking forward to that!
