PRWG board and members meeting

Since years, the first PRWG board and members meeting took place! From 29th till 30th of september, seven members of the PRWG gathered in Köln. Almost two days and a rich agenda, so what did we do? The first day we used to accomodate ourselves at the University of Köln, getting to know everything, made some shopping for the coffee breaks. Naturally, we then turned towards the content part of the day, getting insights into the PRWG, its role and its place in AEGEE. Many questions were raised, many answers could be provided. We ended the day with a brainstorming about the added value of the PRWG membership.

Tuesday, we continued the brainstorming before we moved to the concrete activities of the PRWG. We used this as an entry to the strategic plan 2008 of the PRWG and to gather ideas and concrete suggestions for activities and events in 2009. In the end we started to define the positions of the board more detailed, thus, giving not only the description of the task but also defining competencies and requirements for these positions. Surprisingly, we re-arranged the distribution of the tasks and shaped the positions newly according to the present needs.

On our last day, wednesday, we continued with the description of the board positions and got an insight into the newly created PR-LTC package "Communicate!", the first of its kind, enabling locals to conduct their own two-day training courses in public relations only.

After a small closure, all together, we took the route towards the Agora Aachen!
Special thanks to all the participants of that meeting, Vio, Gunel, Maria, Georg, Laure, Francesco and Nadine!
Thanks also to Thilo Zimmermann for being our contact person, arranging all facilities as well as lodging places for us all!

Stay tuned for the reports on our activities and the open call for the board elections!
