Just a couple of days ago, the 2014 Annual General Meeting came to a close. This is an annual event which gathers all member sections and where important topics are discussed. This year the event took place in Milan and had a record number of delegations - 37, including two sections from a new member-state, Russia. Our 5-piece delegation consisted of 2 representatives from ESN Novi Sad and ESN BelUPgrade each, and the National Representative of ESN Serbia.
During the opening ceremony delegates were addressed by the Minister of Education Stefania Giannini. This was followed by a huge flag parade, where all 600+ participants marched through the city center. Our team made sure to be fully equipped with Serbian national symbols, as you can see in the photo below!
In addition to the plenaries, where the new International Board was elected and changes to the statute brought, participants had the chance to indulge in tasty national dishes at the Eurodinner and have fun at the amazing evening parties.
The end of AGM Milano was marked by the Gala dinner and STAR Awards ceremony. The final award category - STARter award for BEST NEW SECTION IN THE NETWORK went to whom, you may ask!? Well, ESN BelUPgrade, of course!
