‘I WAS THERE’ and now I can say that it has been a great event, one of our best events ever. More than 30 people from Europe in the capital of Spain, Madrid, living as Spaniards day and night, with a common goal: celebrate the 25th anniversary of our beloved AEGEE! As one of the antennae which founded AEGEE in the 80’s (EGEE those days), we have been proud of counting with the help of the two first presidents of AEGEE-Madrid, one of them being vice-president of the first Comité Directeur. They shared their experiences with us, giving us motivation, ideas and showing us how AEGEE changed their lives.
Known for our great nightlife, our fabulous city-tours, with professional city-guides, for being more than a team when organizing events, the event was supposed to be good, but with such a great group of participants and friends from all the Network, who came to join us during the weekend, the event was PERFECT.
Some feelings from our participants =):
"Laughing, drinking, walking around in one of the most beautiful cities of Europe, strolling from bar to bar at nights, meeting so many new people, feeling cosy all the time, getting involved into the Spanish life and culture, having a marvellous time with a great group in a flawless organising...
…This was the event to me and, honestly, I feel thankful for being there!
