All 25 participants left with very good feeling, full with knowledge and motivation to start or continue the work in their own locals. At the moment Academy board is collecting all travel bills, as we have a grant from Youth in Action. We are also working on compiling the evaluation results, which you'll probably see soon as well. During the final staff meeting several points of improvement came up, which should be addressed during the CDM and by the managers of the next European Schools in Cosenza and Patra. A lot of thanks go to Daniel Nuijten, the manager of the ES1, together with the whole team: Francesca, Gulece, Julia, Martien, Nadine, Patrick, Radu, Sideau and Wim. *** PRES1 Rijeka*** With one month to go before the event, the trainers’ team, as well as the participants were selected . Beside Marek,the team is: Arleta Bojke, Ankie Knippenbergh, Percin Imrek, Piotrek Wojciechowski and Berat Ezel. We believe that this combination of different experiences and personalities will result with a lot of fresh ideas for PR in AEGEE. In what local organisation is concerned, accomodation and rooms for the training have been arranged and the last preparations for the social programme are taking place.
