Teams and projects
teams
EGEA Teams are volunteer groups with clear missions to help the organization grow. New teams are proposed to the General Assembly, and if approved, they gain rights like using EGEA’s resources, receiving funding, and participating in key events.
Each team has coordinators who manage the group, ensure communication, and represent the team. Members can join with approval, and Coordinators are elected yearly, with support provided to help them succeed. If you want to join a team, you can contact them via their e-mail, Instagram or by filling out this form.
Marketing & External Relations
We connect EGEAns with potential sponsors and employers. One of our main aims is to consolidate and diversify EGEA’s financial basis through programs like “Friends of EGEA”.
Furthermore we help EGEAns with their geography related careers outside of EGEA. Whether it’s an internship, a job or research opportunities – we might have something in store for you!
SCIENCE
The Science Team is an official body of EGEA which aims to strengthen the quality of scientific activities in EGEA and to encourage EGEAns to share their scientific work and to participate in scientific events.
We are also focus on raising the ecological awareness
within the Association and thus are developing the EGEA Green Book. This work of reference consists of a list of guidelines to encourage a more ecological behaviour. Entities and event-organisers can receive a label of recognition on the basis of the proposed guidelines.
As a scientific outlet we publish the European Geographer, EGEA’s official magazine, by young geographers for young geographers. The publication is divided into three main sections; the scientific section, the GEOtalk section, and the EGEAscope section. A team of editors and a design team co-ordinated by two chief editors work together to produce and publish a magazine which is a patchwork of scientific, opinion and narrative pieces forming an interesting read for all.
tRAINING
EGEAns are the core of our organisation – and that’s where we come in. We want to make EGEA a place for you to develop your skills. We want to support you in the organisation of trainings and above all we would like to create a network of trainers.
Digital Communication
We accommodate numerous aspects of EGEAs technical infrastructure and media representation. Not only are we maintaining the website, accounts and servers but we manage the regular Newsletter, Calendar, document EGEAs activities and create promotional material like videos, pictures, leaflets, posters, flyers, banners, presentations. We maintain all the outside channels of communicattion in the public domain such as the Facebook, LinkedIn and Wikipedia.Whenever there are some technical issues to be solved, we’re happy to help out!
Growth & Inclusion
Our Team supports newbies and helps them with their first steps in EGEA by organizing Newbie Areas and the Buddy System on congresses. We also provide newbie flyers including information about our association.
In regards to growth we advertise EGEA at universities where we are not yet existant, to acquire new entities and expand our network.
Projects
EGEA Projects are temporary volunteer groups that work to help the organization grow. People can suggest project ideas to the Board, which decides if they can start. If the Board says no, the idea can go to a General Assembly vote.
Once a project is approved, it can suggest ideas to EGEA, use EGEA’s tools like email and websites, and create learning content. Projects must set goals, share updates, and write yearly report about their progress.
Each project has a leader who represents the group, and new members can join anytime.
PENPAL
The Pen Pal Project is a project that will connect EGEAns all over Europe by writing letters to each other. Each month a topic will be suggested to write about. The topics will vary between personal stories, scientific research and social topics to broaden the minds of all participants.
cookbook
The Cookbook is a project that gathers EGEAn’s favourite recipes for a more diverse and international cuisine.
PODCAST
The Podcast Project Working Group consists of EGEAns that are interested in Podcasts. While all of us listen to Podcasts in our free time or during work/studies, none of us have produced a podcast before. Together we are figuring what it takes to do so. Our goal is to create entertaining but also scientific and EGEA related content. Our content concept focuses on 3 types of episodes: 1. Cultural (e.g. EGEA songs with natives, EGEA cities) 2. Scientific (e.g. droughts) and 3. EGEA related (e.g. How to organise a congress, Ask BoE)
