Who We Are?

What is AEGEE?

AEGEE (Association des Etats Généraux des Etudiants de l’Europe) is a student organisation that promotes co-operation, communication and integration amongst young people in Europe. As a non-governmental, politically independent and non-profit organisation AEGEE is open to students from all faculties and disciplines.

AEGEE, which was founded in 1985 in Paris, puts the idea of a borderless Europe into practice. A widely spread student network of 15.000 members in 240 local branches provides the ideal platform where young people can work together, free from any national way of thinking. AEGEE brings together youth workers and young volunteers from 40 European countries with activities such as conferences, seminars, exchanges, training courses, Summer Universities, case study trips and Working Group meetings. By encouraging travel and mobility, stimulating discussion and organising common projects AEGEE attempts to overcome national, cultural and ethnic divisions and to create a vision of young people’s Europe.

AEGEE’s main fields of actions are Peace & Stability, Active Citizenship, Cultural Exchange and Higher Education.

AEGEE does not consider any national organisation level, and relies solely on the local branches and a European level that consists of Working Groups, commissions and the European Board of Directors. AEGEE has participatory status in the activities of the Council of Europe, consultative status at the United Nations, operational status at UNESCO and is at the same time a member of the European Youth Forum.
