Colours of AEGEE
Key2Europe 2019-2020
Colourful Written by Maike Schulte Member of AEGEE-Bamberg We chose our annual theme because colours are important to us. They describe the diversity in and out of our organisation, they are representative of our open-minded attitude and they accompany every event, local and member in different ways. We asked these members which colour they associate with AEGEE and why. When I think about the colours of AEGEE the main ones that pop up in my mind are three: red, blue and green. Red has a romantic background, all the major events that my locals hosted, from Summer University to Agora Catania 2017, had a red shirt for the Organisers. It naturally matches with love and I love my local! Blue, as in AEGEE a lot of logos are in blue. Sometimes when I have to explain to my friends what kind of blue I want I just say AEGEE blue and everybody automatically knows what I am talking about - this strong blue-identity is absolutely AMAZING! Green, besides its ideological meanings green means hope and freedom. Hope for a better EU and free to be the person you want to be. Two things I have found in AEGEE. Gabriele Nicotra, AEGEE-Catania
If AEGEE is a colour, it would be yellow. Yellow is the colour of the sun and the sun itself is energy – the engine that keeps the earth a living organism. AEGEE is the sun for me. It gives energy to young people to feel life and have the time of their life. Salome Kusiani, AEGEE-Tbilisi
Dark blue is my favourite colour and above all it stands for self-development and that’s what AEGEE is about for me. The association gave me the space to try myself out, to learn new skills and to get to know different cultures. All this made me the person I am today and it would not have been possible without AEGEE. Matthias Felder, AEGEE-Bamberg
