AEC AWARD conferred - YOUNG DIPLOMATS among the winning projects!

2008-01-17

We are sharing with you the much-awaited results of the AEC Awards for 2006/2007. First, please let me convey my appreciation to all the Project Groups who have successfully completed the AEC Projects that was developed at the last Conference in Greece.

The quality of the projects was very outstanding. Upon consolidating both the online vote results as well as the evaluation by the panel of judges, the final results for Phase II of the six (6) project groups were either very close or on par with one another. In this context, ASEF has decided to confer the AEC Award to all these six (6) AEC Project Groups shortlisted for Phase II of the online votes.

They are as follows:
All Ahoy
Cultural Kaleidoscope 2007
FoodTaboos@VirtualHomestay
Mastering Media – The Sequel
When Nature Calls
Young Diplomats

Congratulations to the AEC Project Groups and thank you everyone for your contributions and support for the AEC-NET!
