PRWG is attending Shape Our Home event

we often come to the conclusion that simple questions are difficult to answer. What is AEGEE? What do we do? What are ou aims? What activities define us?

We all know the answers, but sometimes finding the right words is pretty challenging. Shape Our Home is a project whose purpose is to tackle this challenge and discover the new words and new visual elements that characterise AEGEE at 25 years of being.

PRWG is part of this unique project, Maurits Korse, Project's Director of PRWG is a member of the team and Laura Toma, SPeaker of PRWG is attending Shape Our Home in Aachen.

We will keep you post it with news regarding the results of workshops.

New PRWG Members!

Dear PR enthusiasts,

PRWG is still growing! We would like to take the chance and present you two new and motivated members of our working group:

Luis Alvarado comes from AEGEE-Las Palmas, is 20 years old and a student of Translation and Interpreting at Las Palmas University. At the moment he is president of his local, but that doesn't seem to be enough of a challenge for him :-) Concerning PR and intercultural communication he states: "I've realised how important communication is in our society. Being able to approach different people from different cultures and actually being able to reach an agreement or convince them of something is vital for us nowadays. This is why Im really interested in the PRWG, and the way communicationn works inside and outside AEGEE." We are convinced you will find out soon and are looking forward to your contribution in PRWG!

Our second new member is Michael from AEGEE-Hamburg. He is studying Biology and Psychology at Hamburg University and has been an AEGEE-member for 3,5 years already. He is quite involved in PR in AEGEE - e. g. in the Shape our Home Project - however, "I don't know,
but I have never managed to apply for a membership in the PRWG!" We are glad he finally decided to join us and are especially honoured since Michael was elected next PR director of AEGEE-Europe at Agora Leiden - congratulations from our side!

In case you want to become a member of PRWG as well, just send us an e-mail stating your interest to prwg_board[at]aegee.org!

Verena on behalf of PRWG board.

PRWG proudly presents SU Web 2.0

We all know what this AEGEE period is all about, the applications for SUs have started! How does an AEGEE member chose the perfect event for himself? Well, it's all about the funny promo videos, or the attractive pictures, or the great choice of words to envision a place in summer.
PRWG knows all this so, we want to award the best online promo campaign for a SU taking place this year :)
How does it work? SU willing to take part in the contest should send an e-mail to us: prwg.board@aegee.org or prwg.board@gmail.com expressing their wish to participate, thus entering the competition.
We will then send them a document that explains in detail what we are evaluating. Generally, PRWG will have an expert look at the promotion of the SU (on youtube, facebook, website etc.), the use of Web 2.0 during the SU (via a blog, website ) and afterwards (video etc.). Criterias will be the creativity and the quality of the content.
We will present the competing SUs on our blog and via AEGEE-L, so the public can have a look as well :-)
The best team wins a special award, a surprise which will be revealed at the rght time!
So, dear SUs organizing teams, PRWG is looking forward for your entering the competition. The deadline to send the email is the 1st of May!
