History

The first traces regarding AEGEE-Firenze dates back to 1991 when our “Antenna” started the first organized activities and the first “provisory” board was elected. The birthday of AEGEE-FIrenze is 14th May 1991.
But only in 1992 was elected the first executive board and signed the Convension d’Adhesion at the Autumn Agora held in Delft.
Since that time AEGEE-Firenze didn’t stop its activities with a number of different Boards and organizing many events in these years (now, more than 30); ’till our great celebration events called “Alive & Kicking” held in October 2002 for our 10th anniversary of life.
This is nowadays the biggest event ever organized by AEGEE-Firenze, with the attendance of about 120 participants coming from every countries of Europe. The great event lasted 2 days, non-stop, and was held in Villa Sperling in a village called Montepiano, in the Appenine mountains.
But the real “european” event for AEGEE Firenze was the Post Agora “from Medieval till Renaissance time” organized in November 2004 after the Fall Agora in Torino. More than 100 european students gathered in Firenze to admire the city “jewels”.

In these years we had some partnership with some local institutions like:
ARDSU (Azienda Regionale Diritto allo Studio Universitario), l’ Ateneo Fiorentino (relations with many faculties), e what’s more relations with Comune di Firenze with a tight partnership with it’s INFORMAGIOVANI the office deputies to youth and their world (studies, courses, jobs). The Ufficio Scambi Internazionali of Cultures Department as well.
We had some partnership with other AEGEE antennas too (Ferrara and Pisa mostly), especially Pisa that is still our “nearest” antenna. AEGEE-Siena that signed the Convention d’ Adhesion at the Agora in Torino becoming a real local of the network has been funded by some experienced members of AEGEE-Firenze.
The three antennas of Tuscany will establish a deeper partnership organizing together a Travelling Summer University in July 2005.AEGEE-Firenze in these years has always been organizing a Summer University, usually in the month of July at the end of summer exams session.
Moreover many other events has been organized:
