*Name*: JAZZ DO IT! 2011. (Music festival)
*Organizing LC*: Niš
*Time*: 09 - 15. 08. 2011.
*Deadline to apply*: 8th of July 2011.
*Number of participants*: 15
*Application *on eestec.net <http://www.eestec.net/>
*********************************
Dear EESTEC-ers,
We are proud to say that our event “JAZZ DO IT!” is becoming tradition.
Since it was great last year, we have decided to do it again! That's why
we are inviting you to join us at the biggest jazz event in Southern and
Eastern Europe "Nišville jazz festival <http://www.nisville.com/>". Together
we will enjoy the good jazz sound accompanied with great atmosphere that
only EESTEC exchange can provide. Organized in the medieval
fortress<http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/1240/centar.jpg>
and visited by more than *100.000 people* only last year, Nišville hosted
some of the biggest stars of jazz music: Candy Dulfer, Grace Kelly Band,
Incognito, Solomon Burke, Benny Golson, De Phazz, Roy Hargrove... This year
there is no exception because Steve Hans Dulfer, Sly&Robbie, Mungo Jerry,
Tom Harrell, Rick Margitza and 50 other bands on 5 different stages will
jazz it up for us!
Regular price for this festival is about 50 Euros, but as our guest you
are getting it for *free* :)
And you will also learn some things about acoustics and making music.
But, that’s not all. The City of Niš has great cultural and historical
heritage. Serbia is birthplace of 17 Roman emperors, and one of the most
important persons in European history, emperor Constantine the
Great<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_the_Great>,
was born in Niš (roman name *NAISSUS*) in 272AD.
You will also visit a Fortress of
Niš<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ni%C5%A1_Fortress>,
where “Nišville jazz festival” takes place. The fortress exists at this
place for more than 2000 years, and has layers from different historical
periods. That’s because Niš is on the road that connects Europe with Middle
East (in roman times this road was called VIA MILITARIS), so many
civilizations passed here and they left some trace in the fortress. It’s in
this condition since XVII century, and now it’s one of the best preserved
fortifications of Ottoman style in Europe.
In Niš exists one unique monument in the world, Skull
Tower<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_Tower>,
which was built from skulls of the warriors who died in the Čegar battle in
the 1809. You will also visit a Čegar
monument<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_%C4%8Cegar>where this
battle took place.
We’ll show you one relaxing place, Niška
Banja<http://www.nistourism.org.rs/health-oasis.html>spa which has
radioactive healing water and we’ll go swimming there with a
lot of EESTEC spirit!
And if you think that we only have history, you’re wrong, because Niš is
known as town where you can have a lot of fun. We have centuries old
hedonist legacy! Are you brave enough to try our traditional drink *rakija*?
And the best BBQ in the world including pljeskavica will help your body to
work well with all that alcohol. There won’t be a single moment that you’ll
be hungry, because Serbians like good food in big quantities. All that you
will be able to taste in a traditional ambient at the special night in *
kafana*. If you don’t know what *merak* is (that word has no translation to
other languages), you will learn here!
So the crazy summer cocktail with... traditional Serbian drinks and food…
plenty of great music… nice town… a lot of EESTEC spirit… Mix all that in
a summer temperature and share it with good orgaNICEers.
What are you waiting for?
*JAZZ DO IT! 2011.*

Board Talk
Shiny EESTECers,
A new era has just began for EESTEC with the election of a new Int. Board.
We are just returning from a great HoBOM (Handover Board Meeting), where we
had amazing moments with participants of LC Athens’ workshop. At the same
time, we devoted many productive hours working on following up activities of
the previous Board (which we thank for their work and devotion to EESTEC
development) as well as for developing new plans that will lead EESTEC to
the future!
We had the chance during this month to speak with LC representatives and
especially with participants in Athens’ workshop and define expectations and
fresh ideas in the future. Then we evaluated all of them during HoBOM while
we were enjoying ourselves on a Greek island!
Keep smiling and let the summer sun shine upon you! :)

which include travelling to other LCs participating in events :)
Last month was the first that Board worked together and got our first

(HOBOM) in Athens during their workshop. We had an amazing time in Athens
and we had the chance to develop our annual plans as a Board. In the
meantime, talking with participants of the workshop and attending all great
things that organisers prepared was a big motivation for us :). We would
like to send our biggest thanks to LC Athens for their invaluable help to
