Knowledge transfer completed :-)

Various msn meetings, plenty of files to send, many questions to answer, some skype meetings and voilà: the knowledge transfer was successfully done! After the elections leaving board members and new elected board members spent much time online together to transfer the knowledge as good as possible. Slowed down by the exam period, the process took us somewhat longer, still it went very well and the new board took off to further improve public relations in AEGEE :-)

Great Success: PR Database online! :-)

With pleasure, PRWG announces the new PR online database for PR material for AEGEE!
The database will serve as an interim solution till the new aegee.org/intranet is finally ready to use.
The entire material and its structure will be shifted then towards its new destination.
You can upload your material yourself with an FTP programme or send the material to the PRWG board and we upload it for you.
After a pretty long time and many discussions on where to put the database, how to manage its administration and how to manage the upload, the interim Database solution seems to be an excellent option!
Thanks goes to Isa who was mainly in charge of the project and to Francesco for his IT-knowledge and solutions for the actual implementation! Excellent guys! Well done :-)

CD communication: Communication and Transparency Recovery Package online!

After the non-approved Activity Report of the CD at the Agora in Magusa and the positive Vote of Confidence, it was time to chance something in the communication with the entire (!) AEGEE-network.
The result is this great Recovery Package containing two pages where the CD clearly elaborates its new communication and transparency working style towards the network.
We are curiously looking forward to the implementation of all these very concrete measures which are mentioned and hope the best for the network and the association!
The Package can be find here:

PRES1 postponed to Fall 2009

Initially, we wanted to provide you with the training already in May/June 2009. Due to many difficulties, we are now shifting the plans to September this year. The decision was made by the boards of the PRWG and the Academy, which with we are cooperating for our one-week public relations trainings PRES1 and PRES2.
We hope that soon we can provide you with more and good news :-)

We are happy to receive the support of the Juridical Commission for the upcoming spring board elections of the PRWG! :-)

We are looking forward to an exciting and successful election procedure :-)

PRWG at the Spring Agora Magusa

During the last Agora, you had the chance to meet and see Isa and Samir from PRWG board :-)! While Isa was presenting the Activity Report, Samir got in touch with many people from the network to chat about public relations matters! Besides, Isa was hard working to keep the Agora M(eye) Blog up to date! Thank you Samir and Isa for representing PRWG! :-)

PR-Material request from AEGEE-Zagreb

PRWG could finally act in its supportive manner again :-) With pleasure the board send some PR material to the board of AEGEE-Zagreb who asked for some support in public relations matters. We provided some material about a pr-strategy, dealing with media and journalists as well as basics about public relations understanding. In case you also have a question or a concrete request, ask us and we try to help you anytime :-)

Digitalising Publications - Meeting in Enschede!

Maybe you once surfed aegee.org and found the page of AEGEE's publications? They are not complete nor is anyone accessible to read or download. This shortcoming PRWG started fighting! Last year, a couple of old publications, such as old Key to Europe's and old News Bulletin were scanned. Now it is time to work on the scans and make them nicely looking for you :-) Maurits (AEGEE-Enschede/PRES2 Krakow participant) and Nadine (PRWG) met in Enschede to take stock, share duties and agreed on the publish-standard of the scans. Both are convinced that the scans will look awesome when they are ready :-) So, stay tuned for the results! Good luck and many thanks, guys!

PRWG realises M(eye) Agora Blog again!

For the Agora Magusa, PRWG is working on realising the Agora Blog again :-) Isa from the board and Verena Schmidt from HRWG are taking care on it during the Agora. The chair will link the blog with the message wall from facebook, so that you are always up to date what's going on at the Agora!
An open call was issued to call for editors, who contribute actively during the Agora. New this time, we plan to have people responsible writing about specifics slots to guarantee a good level of information throughout the entire Agora for all people of the network who cannot be there.
http://m-eye-agora.blogspot.com/

Key to Europe - published after the Agora!

Latest news about the new Key to Europe! After we missed the deadline of sending it to the printing house (25th of March), through reasons we also dont know definitely, the idea to distribute the Key at the Agora cannot be kept! According to the latest credible information we got, the design has to be done completely new and the process will start this weekend! Further information are not known yet, but we hope that the new Key can be send after the Agora with the next General Mailing to you :-) Thanks goes to Veronika Zagar, our editor-in-chief for all information and her hard work for the next Key!

Agora Magusa - meet Isa and Samir! :-)

Isa and Samir are taking the chance to represent PRWG at the upcoming Agora in Magusa! When you have any questions or you are interested in a small chat about public relations in AEGEE, feel free to get in touch with Isa and Samir! :-)

Evren - our hero!

Thank to Evren, the Secretary General in the CD, the correct version of the Activity Report of the PRWG is compiled in the AR-booklet for the Agora! By accident, Nadine sent the wrong file and only by the attentive reaction from Evren, a catastrophe could be prevented! Thank you Evren - our hero! :-)

Key to Europe - more news!

The work on the new Key to Europe is going into its final phase! Initially planned to be ditributed at the Agora, it becomes more and more certain that the final version will be send to you with the General mailing after the Agora. The deadline for the printing house could not be kept (25th of March), since first the layouter went sick and then the editor-in-chief. We are on it for the latest news for you! :-)

imPRESsive - PRES2 Krakow

Yes, WE CAN! 24 great participants, 6 fabulous trainers, many many genius local organisaers from AEGEE-Krakow (for example, Mirek, Tomek, Magda, Kubus, Kuba and many more!) made this PRES2 an unforgettable and inspiring training course! One week, we learned about public relations on the European level, enjoyed plenty of discussions, demanding group work and relaxing parties! There is much to tell about this week and what made it so special! But one thing is certain: the right people met at the right time at the right place! :-) Much much more stories are to be told, so stay tuned for more news when we start to "Shout out loud!"

No Logo-Proposal from AEGEE-Europe for Agora Magusa

We are glad to hear that AEGEE-Europe did not handed in a proposal on the logo-change for AEGEE. The deadline was March 12th and this information was shared with us last friday. PRWG-board expressed its concerns towards a possible proposal few weeks ago.
The feedback process is not finished yet and it makes sense to take all concerns and feedback from the network to support the process towards an improved visual identity of AEGEE.

No workshop application for Spring Agora Magusa

After small discussion about a workshop for the upcoming Spring Agora, the PRWG board decided not to hand in any application. The two premisses as a suitable topic as well as one/two workshop leaders could not be discussed thouroughly and with a satifying result. A certain quality in PRWG workshops would thereby not be guaranteed. We will try to be present as much NWM as possible and hope to hand in again for Agora Kyiv. Hoping for your understanding and see you somewhere in Europe!

Key to Europe! Coming soon.....

The Key to Europe team is working hard on the next edition of the yearbook of AEGEE, the Key to Europe! The design was choosen and thus it is about putting all together! We are curious for the result and expect the 1st version every day.....:-)
You will get the chance to hold the new Key in your hands at the Agora Magusa or it will reach you with the General Mailing afterwards!

PRWG offered place for the upcoming Agora

As a supportinve body of AEGEE, Public Relations Working Group takes place at the General Assembly of AEGEE. For this GA, PRWG, has two places which can be given to board members, for example. Places which are not taken from the board are usually offered to PRWG members. So we did with a vacant place for the upcoming Agora Magusa. Till the deadline, no one approached us who would have been interested in the place...Well, maybe next time ;-)

PRWG. Seriously Creative

PRWG fuels the engine of events in AEGEE. Each event needs its promotion, each project of AEGEE-Europe cannot be done without appropriate dissemination information to the targeted audience. The team of ca. 60 members of PRWG is there for disposal of AEGEE members that want to discover what PR is and make their locals more famous. PRWG supports the whole AEGEE network in everything that concerns PR. This article is a practical guide for AEGEE members who always wanted to ask what PRWG can offer but were afraid to ask. Hopefully, the following will help to make the picture about practical implications of PRWG work more understandable and visible.

Use PR materials, share you ideas!

- Brain Center: PRWG not only stores, collects and retains all possible PR materials, but also generates ideas and creative solutions in everything that concerns promotion and publicity. PRWG knows everything about image, promotion strategy, better visibility and communication within AEGEE, as this WG constantly analyses and evaluates PR in AEGEE. For this purpose, PRWG manages PR materials in the AEGEE office on aegee.org and plans to create an AEGEE PR Wiki.

Ask your PR Subcommie for help!

- Transmitter: One of the major tasks of PRWG apart for CD support and PR on the European level is support to locals. Therefore PRWG stands for better information flow between the local and the European level. For this purpose there are several PR Subcommies responsible for the pool of antennae in their areas. This ensures better understanding of PR situation in locals and ensures prompter response from the European level.

Go to PRES1 or PRES2, learn more about PR or become a trainer!

- Training in Public Relations. PRWG cooperates with AEGEE-Academy in organizing PRES1 and PRES2. In 2009 PRES2 is taking place in March in Krakow and PRES1 is taking place also somewhere in Europe on the edge of spring and summer.

PRWG also assists locals in case they decide to organize local trainings. In 2008 PRWG sent its motivated members to train participants of LTC of AEGEE-Budapest and LTC of AEGEE-Torun. It supports graphic design in AEGEE: graphics is a part of ES and PRES, and in 2009 PRWG plans to make a graphic design school!

Moreover, after a successful PR training “Communicate” PRWG decided to supply the Network with all materials from this training so that they can be used by locals at their PR LTCs.

Become a journalist and get famous in AEGEE!

- Publishing House. Indeed, PRWG supports and improves publications in AEGEE (K2E, WG Booklet). Moreover, during Agoras PRWG informs the network about freshest news from the Agora in its Blog (aegeeprwg.blogspot.com).

- Discover CD!

- CD Supporter. PRWG supports CD with regards to publications, visual identity development, better dissemination of information about AEGEE work results within all the Network members and other PR related issues.

Join the Network of PR enthusiasts!

- PR Platform. PRWG is an ideal platform for those AEGEE members that

* have some experience in PR and want to develop it further

* are crazy about promotion and publicity, but do not know much about PR and are eager to learn

* are PR activists in all senses

* want to go on the European level and be involved into PR activities.

Nadine Karbach, current speaker of PRWG describes PRWG in a nutshell as “ Communication – body language – press releases – PR strategy – creative thinking – working with media – publications – spreading messages – visual communication – web 2.0 – external and internal representation: get in touch with various ways of PR!” If these words sound interesting and exciting, do not hesitate to visit www.aegee.org/wg/prwg

CD statement about logo discussion

Dear all,

Some questions were raised about the process that lead to this proposal and who were involved.

In the beginning of 2008, PRWG board of that time and the former CD decided together about some activites in the field of public relations for AEGEE. Some orientation was needed and tasks needed to be shifted after the resignation of the CD member who was in charge of PR that time.

Among these activities was the establishment of a team taking care on the visual identity of AEGEE. Knowing one very enthusiastic member for this task, a call for the team was launched and they - 6 people with diverse backgrounds in AEGEE - started working.
A common email list was created and the team started analysing the status quo of visuals in the network (maybe some boardmembers and project managers remember that they were approached for sending their promotion material they use for promoting their WG/project for analyse purpose). The first version of a report was drawn up, but the team fell apart due to demotivation because of lack of cooperation from the network regarding the analyses and there was no more progress.

In summer, CD's changed and I - as announced in my candidature in Ljubljana - was highly motivated to pick up this initiative. I got in touch with Bartek, and together we made some more attempts to revive the team. Without much success, we then decided to narrow the analyses to purely the AEGEE-Europe logo and brand, and made a new plan. A team meeting took place in Gdansk (Bartek, Mateusz and Robin), which was reported on the CD blog and in the telegram. PRWG Board was no longer actively involved at this point, but developments were still reported and moral support for the initiative remained.

In Gdansk, the team decided to focus on designing, as it was convinced that only a clear and concrete proposal could get things moving. After the December holidays things went very fast, we set early deadlines for:

1. The EBM, as a good point to start the consultation process on their work

2. Necessity to synchronise with the new website, which had to be ready by April, as the website is our main PR tool on European level, and it's not that easy to completely change the look of aegee.org. CD, ITWG, PRWG, the Brand team, the locals and the external partners all have their own pace, and bringing so many factors together is a challenge.

During the month of January, we eventually reached to the current proposal, getting a first feedback along the way from different people, thus a kind of pre-test. Designers in and outside AEGEE, active and inactive members, older and younger members, journalists, artists, sponsors, the CD, and PRWG board. Why a smaller group of people and not the whole network? Because 11,000 people cannot design a logo together. It takes a designer with great courage and patience to take on a challenge like this, and be sure that it is not a lot of fun to deal with the criticism of a smaller group, let alone a huge association!

We look forward to a lively discussion and welcome all your constructive feedback through the channels provided (information reach you with a seperate email). No matter what you think of the current proposal, a proper visual identity is very important for our association, and any person contributing to the creative development of our association should be encouraged, supported and thanked. So we hope we can all treat the work done with respect and calmly raise our questions and comments.

Please keep in mind that it is just a proposal, nothing fixed and every kind of constructive feedback is welcome. Of course, decisions of that scale are in the end taken in the highest body our associations has, the Agora.

It is a proposal, not a decision

Yours,

Robin

Budget 2009 submitted!

Few weeks ago, the budget 2009 regarding our working group has been submitted to the financial director of AEGEE Europe.
Lots are the activities planned for the upcoming year, from the Board and Members Meeting to the new PR Guide, through a Publications Meeting and the Digitalization of old Publications.
We hope our budget will be approved completely allowing us to pursue our objectives, so we will keep fingers crossed for that :-)

Finally! - PRWG board archives online

A dream came true, friday evening during the board meeting! Thanks to Francesco, PRWG board finally has a place to upload the board files! Why is this so great? Up till now, every board member keep the files of his/her work on the personal harddisc. During the knowledge transfer it can happen that not all files are transferred (if at all) which means a great loss of information for the board! From now on, the board will upload and share all PRWG related files on a secret place somewhere in the internet space :-) A huge sorrow less and a big step ahead for the current and all future board of the PRWG! Thank you, Francesco!
