AGORA
The Agora, AEGEE's General Assembly, meets twice a year. Up to 600 members gather for three days to discuss proposals and projects, take decisions and set up the guidelines for AEGEE. The word "Agora" is a greek word ("ÁãïñÜ") and stands for a street of shops. It originates from the ancient greek verb "aãåßñù" which means "to assembly". The Ágora was the most important and vital part of the ancient greek city. It was the place where all the political meetings, the commercial exchanges, the religious ceremonies and the sport events took place.
