Organizer
Forum of Azerbaijani Students in Europe, hereafter FASE, is a youth organization of Azerbaijani
students in Europe, registered legal person. The idea of establishing FASE was developed during
the first Forum which was held in May, 2006 in Brussels and was hosted by the European
Parliament. First Forum of FASE has been held under slogan “Future is What You Do Now” to
support the initiative of Azerbaijani students to establish student exchange programme funded by
Azerbaijani government. Successive forums and events were held under the slogan “BE THE
CHANGE” and attracted a lot of supporters, who were eager to discuss future perspectives of
Azerbaijan integrated in the common European family.
We believe that the success of the above-mentioned campaign was only achieved with the very
input of everyone who believed in FUTURE, who believed in what they did. FASE is the network
of future and the main idea is to broaden channels of communication among young people of
Azerbaijan and on multilayer level to “connect” them into global networks.
