Geography and climate

Located in Southern Europe Greece consists of a mountainous, peninsular

mainland jutting out into the sea at the southern end of the Balkans and is strategically

located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Due to its highly indented coastline

and numerous islands, Greece has the 11th longest coastline in the world with 13,676 km

(8,498 miles).

Greece features a vast number of islands, between 1,200 and 6,000, depending on the definition, 227 of which are inhabited. Crete is the largest and most populous island; Euboea, separated from the mainland by the 60m-wide Euripus Strait, is the second largest, followed by Rhodes and Lesbos.

The climate of Greece is primarily Mediterranean, featuring mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. (which is great for a conference in October )

ATHENS

Athens (Modern Greek: Αθήνα, Athína, [aˈθina]) is the capital and largest city of Greece.

Athens dominates the Attica region and is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded

history spanning around 3,400 years.

Classical Athens, as a landlocked location was a powerful city-state that emerged in

conjunction with the seagoing development of the port of Piraeus. A centre for the arts,

learning and philosophy, home of Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum, it is widely

referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, largely

due to the impact of its cultural and political achievements during the 5th and 4th

centuries BC on the rest of the then known European continent. Today a cosmopolitan

metropolis, modern Athens is central to economic, financial, industrial, political and

cultural life in Greece.

In Ancient Greek Athens' name

was Ἀθῆναι (Athēnai [atʰɛ ːnai]) in

plural. The root of the word is probably

not of Greek or Indo-European origin,

and is a possible remnant of the Pre-

Greek substrate of Attica, as with the

name of the goddess Athena, who was

always related to the city of Athens

DAY 0 – YOUTH TO BUSSINESS

The theme of this year’s Y2B is Defying Uncertainty

Why is this important for youth? For Greece? For AIESECers?

Today, in a world that is full of uncertainty, young people are

called to action. They need to overcome the uncertainty of their

studies, their countries and their world. For that reason, every

young person needs to:

Re-think Leadership

Drive the co-creation

Seize the day!

Like the Facebook Page Greece Youth to Business Forum to be

updated for the speakers, the workshops and everything about this

important event!

Page 10: Euroco 2014 in Greece Second Booklet

What AIESECer has not loved every moment of a global village?

This is your turn to be part of this amazing event.

But remember:

1) since this is an open event that follows Greek Youth 2 Bussiness Forum,

no alcoholic drinks are allowed to be on your booths. Save them for the

internal global village party of the conference.

2) According to the rules of AIESEC, no flags should be visible during a

global village.

3) Venue you ask? The same amazing college with our Youth 2 Business

and a very good partner of AIESEC in Greece - the party continues there

More info here

And what will you do there?

Apart from the booths where each delegation can have food, memorabilia

and other stuff from their country, there will be time to do a short cultural

performance (~2 minutes). It can be a dance, a song, a sketch, anything

you want (just be creative!)

Also, be prepared to talk with visitors, to share with them interesting, fun,

alternative facts about your country!

So, when you decide what it is, please write it in this google form.

For any questions, feel free to ask Emma, the CCVP Special Events by

sending an email at [email protected]

Pre and post conference accommodation

The CC and specifically the amazing CCVP Logistics has

found two hostels with special low prices for our delegates.

“The students and travelers inn” http://www.studenttravellersinn.com/index.html

Located in Plaka, one of the oldest neighborhoods of Athens. It is 5 minutes from

Syntagma square. There are 50 rooms available. Price: 13.5 Euros per night

“The Athens International” - http://www.athens-international.com/

It is very close to Metaxourgeio Metro Station which can take you to Syntagma or

Acropoli in a few minutes. The Metro is open until 02.00 on Friday and Saturday night

and until midnight on Sunday night. The area is not touristic and we recommend using

always the metro or a taxi in a case you arrive there at night. Also, in case you arrive

from the airport by bus after the metro is closed, you will have to take a taxi for there.

There are 110 beds available. Price: 7.5 Euros per night

How to book them:

By sending an email to [email protected] with cc the DS email

([email protected]) You must write:

“EuroCo AIESEC Congress – Name of the hotel”

If you know, the day and time of your arrival

Name, Surname, Passport number, ID number

The booking must be done per person and not per delegation.

In case the availability runs out, we will recommend hostels to

the remaining delegates, possibly not at the same prices.

Page 12: Euroco 2014 in Greece Second Booklet

The wi-fi in the venue will not be open for delegates as there is need from the conference team.

There will be one laptop with internet available for emergencies.

ANEMOLIA RESORT & CONFERENCE

Idyllically located on the outskirts of the historic Arachova village, the Anemolia Resort and

Conference offers unique views across the Delphi Valley and the Parnassos mountain range. The

Anemolia makes an ideal base from which to explore the nearby Delphi Archaeological site, the

picturesque Galaxidi fishing village, the Byzantine monastery of Osios Loukas, or even to explore the

Parnassos mountains - ideal for snow skiing during the winter (usually January - March), or

trekking, mountain biking or other sports during summer. The stone built Arachova village, often

identified as the "winter Mykonos" is a leisurely walk away from the Anemolia.

AISEC has hold conferences in the past in the hotel and is well-known among the AIESECers. It

has already hosted in the past National Conferences of AIESEC in Greece, offering unforgettable

moments to thousands of AIESECers. As a result, the managers and the whole stuff of the hotel

know the nature of AIESEC, our needs and what we can offer to them.

There is not a store or a super-market close to the venue. Make sure you buy all personal things you need (cigarettes, hygiene products etc) from Athens before we leave for the main venue.

Page 13: Euroco 2014 in Greece Second Booklet

Every delegate should have either travel insurance or a health card valid

inside Greece. Some examples of that is the European Health Insurance

Card or your personal insurance that is valid inside Greece. Also, a lot of

airlines offer travel insurance.

In any case and especially if you are not a EU citizen, we require a proof

that you have a valid insurance during the conference, meaning a photo of

your card or contract.
