Introduction
• Concept – similar to Twin towns or sister
cities (e.g. Trieste & Graz, Austria)
• Concept within AEGEE – Encourage AEGEE
locals to form a mutual partnership for
collaboration to work together, on one or
various projects, for defined time period.
Aims of Twin Antenna Project
• Connect different parts of the Network by
establishing direct contacts between locals
• Enhance communication and exchange of
best practices and knowledge
• Establish partnerships/friendships that are
profound, fruitful and sustainable
Why become a twin?
• Open a whole new perspective to your local
and a new world of exciting opportunities
• Seeking new friendships with another
antenna in which you have particular
interest
• Seeking to learn a new exciting culture
which is completely different to your
antenna
Starting your twinning agreement
• Cultural interest, which may lead to cultural
exchange trips
• Knowledge transfer.
• Geographical positioning, e.g. Russian
antenna with Spanish antenna
• Breaking down language barriers, creating
room for language workshops and EDL
project collaboration
