European Spirit(s) - Brand(y) new ideas for Europe

Organized by AEGEE-Mannheim, AEGEE-Frankfurt am Main & AEGEE-Heidelberg

European Spirit(s) - Brand(y) new ideas for Europe Profile Picture
In AEGEE we are constantly talking about Europe. But what exactly is this Europe? What is our European identity? And what is our vision for Europe’s future? We want to go on a journey through European history, discover our common heritage and develop our own ideas for the future of Europe. There is no better place for this than the Rhein-Main-Neckar region, located directly in the heart of Europe. This area has been a political and cultural center for more than 2000 years and has been under the sovereignty of many different European states.
It is internationally famous for its wine region called the “Pfalz”. In addition, it is home to many German breweries, famous for Frankfurt's “Ebbelwoi” (a kind of Cider) and Heidelberg's melon liquor. So you don’t have to fear a lack of good drinks either! By the way: The Rhein-Neckar region is called the “Tuscany of Germany”, as this is the warmest place in the country.
Don’t miss your chance to experience an amazing time with a multicultural group including many unforgettable parties , memorable places and extraordinary people! What are you waiting for?
PS: Frankfurt has one of the biggest airports in Europe: cheap flights and easy connections
