Forum of Azerbaijani Students in Europe or FASE (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycanlı Tələbələrin Avropa Forumu) is a youth organization of Azerbaijani students and young professionals registered in Belgium. FASE has many branches in different capitals of Europe. The idea of establishing FASE was developed during the first Forum held in May, 2006 at the European Parliament in Brussels which was held under the slogan “Future is What You Do Now” with the initiative to promote education abroad, as a result of which the state programme on state funding 5000 students a year to study abroad has been adopted by the Azerbaijani government.
Successive forums and events have been held under the slogans “Be the Change”, "Make a Difference" and "Working together is Success" in Brussels, Berlin, Strasbourg, London, Athens and Paris and attracted lots of supporters, who were eager to discuss future perspectives of Azerbaijan integrated in the common European family.
Famous quotes containing the words forum, students and/or europe:
“What is called eloquence in the forum is commonly found to be rhetoric in the study. The orator yields to the inspiration of a transient occasion, and speaks to the mob before him, to those who can hear him; but the writer, whose more equable life is his occasion, and who would be distracted by the event and the crowd which inspire the orator, speaks to the intellect and heart of mankind, to all in any age who can understand him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
“The people of Western Europe are facing this summer a series of tragic dilemmas. Of the hopes that dazzled the last twenty years that some political movement might tend to the betterment of the human lot, little remains above ground but the tattered slogans of the past.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
