October Monthly Mail --------------------- - More details about the dismissed President - SEP report - CEP report - ESN Alumni event report - NNM in Odense (18-21.11) - InCommon
Dear sections, As october is already far behind us, the time is right to inform you on the latest developments. We had a couple of interesting (to say the least) regional platforms and an alumni event, and then a bunch of meetings on the chat, so hey, we've been busy. Where in our last monthly mail the word "new" was the prime thing, for october we switch to "report". Since the AGM is approaching rapidly, this is the thing you need to know what we are doing and where we wish to go with your support. Pallomeri, Nick. - More details about the dismissed President A lot of people have asked us what the story is behind the vote of no confidence towards our previous president. The problem at hand was actually that we had a problem in communicating with her, meaning that we just couldn't reach her. After a couple of months (in August) we succeeded in arranging a meeting, and she then confirmed that she would send an official explanation to the CNR at the end of September. When this didn't occur, we had no choice but to try and initiate a change in the board. Up to this point, we still have no news. -------------------------------------------------- - SEP report The South-European Platform took place in Marrakech. After accepting Morocco as a member country, and after the board accepted the Ifrane section, this was an excellent opportunity to extend the relations of ESN. We were very well received by the education minister and several officials of the city and the universities, and the total image of the program was impressive to say the least. Six countries were represented and this made it possible to open the discussion on some urgent matters. The board's proposal for the continuity system was well accepted, and the represented sections voted on the status of national boards. Talks were held on the corporate identity issue as well as on the developping state of the ESN Card.

Participating countries were: Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria (with almost all 13 sections!) Hungary, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and last but not least and the furtherst away: Sweden. Unfortunenately the representative of AEGEE could not come to the CEP, but anyway there were a lot of people of central Europe, despite the problems we had with internet- registrations. The contact to Martin from Slovakia was established. Martin is President of a buddy system in Bratislava and wants to integrate "his" association into our network. Thanks for his perfect presentation. So we are looking forward to welcome ESN Slovakia soon. Furthermore Martin has a private contact to Mr. Figel the new European Commissionaire for Education => "our one" ;-) We got useful information in the PR Seminar-lecture from Stefan (PR section on local section's webpage, pictures, articles,...). The Knowledge Management session also raised interesting points and issues everybody can uses in daily life and makes ESN- work easier. On the one hand we already discussed topics for the Annual General Meeting in Gdansk in advance, so that we do not have endless discussion with 300 people there. This was very useful to get the opinion of the sections directly. On the other hand the sections became a pretty good insight of the national and international levels' work. What the International Board's projects are and what is more important who they are. (Report from Christoph, NR Austria) -------------------------------------------------- - ESN Alumni Event report Home of the first AGM, ESN Gent now hosted the first Alumni Event to celebrate the 15th birthday of our growing network. Alumni have a lot of information to share, so we included an official part in the program by visiting the Socrates office in Brussels. This is definitely a place that should tickle our fancy on a permanent basis. The rest of the weekend was more about enjoying the possibilities that the Belgian culture has to offer. City trips combined with a brewery, chocolate shops and a jenever factory filled up the day, and the meals were also in accordance with what we are used to. A genuine ESN party cut the breath of those who survived the rest of the program. -------------------------------------------------- - NNM in Odense In only nine days the long expected Nordic Network Meeting will finally take place in beautiful Odense, Denmark. The program will be quite the same as for the other RPs, we will prediscuss hot AGM topics and have some usefull workshops. We will let you know more about in the next monthly mail.
