When will the NWM take place?
We have tried to choose the best convenient dates for our NWM, and we are waiting for all of you from 
the 21st till the 24th of April 2016.
Which will be the focus of your NWM?
The topic of our NWM is Leadership in NGOs. As we all know, there are a lot of people from students’ organisations, such as AEGEE, who built their careers and businesses also on the basis of what they learnt in these organisations. We are very honoured to invite these people to tell us more about how they became who they are at present, and how their participation in the above mentioned organisations changed their way of thinking and their whole lives. During our NWM, participants will have a chance to learn essential leadership skills and by practicing them, they will prepare for the future challenges.
Can you tell us something regarding the social programme of the NWM?
The social programme of our NWM is closely connected with its name. We will link the programme with activities related to the Danube, like Navy party on the boat and other surprises. There will also be a city-tour made as a treasure hunt and much more to be excited about.
Who will be part of the organisation team? How many people are going to help with the NWM as organisers?
Even though AEGEE-Bratislava is a very small antenna, we have enough motivated people who are full of ideas and determination. Overall, you will meet about ten people from the core team, and each of them will be there for you, if you need anything or have any questions. I have to say that we are more than a team, we are a family of friends, and this is our secret of success. Of course, you will meet the bigger team but they will only join for some parts of the event. Be sure to have a chance to talk to our speakers who are our respected old members, the creators of our organisation who made AEGEE-Bratislava as we see it now.
Do you have any local municipality or university support? Although it is a small old town to be a capital city, it has a lot of highlights to see. Statues are located all
around the old town, and everyone takes pictures of them. One of the most beloved activities by locals and guests is to saunter in the center at night. The whole city is splendidly lit up and at some point, sometimes surprisingly, you feel like the whole city is asleep. Slovak cuisine might be a little heavy, but it is also very tasty. All the atmosphere is framed with good restaurants, cafes, music, architecture, beautiful views and it is such a good feeling to walk around. If you have never visited this charming city before, it is the perfect occasion to do so.
Why should people come to Bratislava?
There are many cities in Europe, but only some of them have a unique atmosphere that you will never forget. Bratislava, I strongly believe, is one of them. Slovakia is also known for having some of the most beautiful girls in the world (girls, don’t worry, we have handsome guys as well!), being relatively cheap, and having great places for the day and night life!
Is it easy to access your city?
I would say it is easier than easy. We have our airport in Bratislava and one hour away there is the airport of Vienna. We are really in the center of a lot of big cities with good connections to our city. You can easily reach us by buses, trains, blablacar or even hitchhiking (my friends say it works well in Slovakia). The transportation prices are really cheap. For example, you can travel from Vienna to Bratislava for only one euro by bus every day.
What are the future plans of AEGEE-Bratislava?
AEGEE-Bratislava is always preparing some good stuff for you so when you pass by, just stop to hang out with us. We will be also organising an amazing pre-event of Agora Bergamo with AEGEE-Wien and in the summer, we will have the Summer University organised together with three other antennae: AEGEE-Budapest, AEGEE-Praha, and AEGEE-Wien. Don’t forget to apply! We are waiting for you!
