V for Valletta Last December, the Malta Experience returned once again with a bang to open AEGEE-Valletta’s 15th Anniversary as the clock struck midnight and made way for 2012. The lucky participants were hosted in Palazzo Abela, a 300-year-old palazzo; and during their stay in Malta they had the opportunity to visit the magnificent capital city of Valletta with its various historical buildings and streets dating back to the Knights of St. John. Together, we walked past the ancient Roman cart ruts which lead to the Medieval ‘Silent City’ of Mdina, and the ‘Old Capital’ of Malta. Undoubtedly, there were endless parties in our entertainment hotspot Paceville, the heart and soul of Maltese nightlife. The highlight of the event was perhaps the New Year’s Eve party, which took place in the wine cellars of the Palazzo Abela and which featured an acclaimed DJ spinning some sizzling sets at this exclusive OPEN-BAR party. This marked the start of the 15th Anniversary of our antenna, a celebration of 15 years of AEGEE spirit and a promise for more years

25th Anniversary of AEGEE-Utrecht Founded on 21st May 1987, AEGEE-Utrecht now celebrates its 25th year of existence. As our local Anniversary Working Group, we organised various activities to make this year unforgettable for our members. A sex-change party, a trip to Belgrade and Sarajevo, a week full of various local activities such as a pub crawl, a family day and a surfing event. Thanks to three supporting working groups we also enjoyed the final conference of „Where does Europe end?“ in Utrecht and a nice gala evening in a cosy fortress. In the end we will publish a special anniversary book marking this great achievements. Written by AEGEE-Utrecht 25th Anniversary Working Group

Little antenna – Big celebration This March all members of the little AEGEE-Ogre family came together to celebrate the antenna’s fourth birthday. The party was spent in a friendly atmosphere while recalling all the activities of the past year and developing ideas for new projects, such as the European Carpet project and Midsummer Night Event, which took place later during spring and summer, and preparing for the Autumn Network Meeting. Nice and creative activities were organised during the whole evening. All ended with a tasty birthday cake. Written by Iveta Arnīte, AEGEE-Ogre
