Both organisations are well-known international schools in Bucharest and most of the students who attend are expatriates.

AGS Bucharest took advantage of the opportunity to dust off its inflatable AGS truck which is always a crowd-pleaser and proved to be the most successful booth, out-performing the pizza booth!

 

 

 

AGS Movers Bucharest also used the opportunity to network with the parents and share printed materials about the services the branch offers.

AGS and DS Avocats host mobility seminar https://www.agsmovers.com/news/ags-and-ds-avocats-host-mobility-seminar/ Tue, 22 Aug 2017 09:25:52 +0000 https://www.agsmovers.com/?p=22538 AGS and DS Avocats welcomed companies with similar interests in international mobility, on 23 June, at the magnificent Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac in Paris, France.

For international stakeholders, the acceleration of the globalisation process means the search for competitiveness which can lead to expatriate talent management.

AGS and DS Avocats suggested solutions to manage the complexity of international mobility. AGS shed light on the impact of geopolitical, social and technological developments on international mobility. We also mentioned the consequences related to the strengthening of flows to and from Africa and Asia, the increasing computerisation of global mobility management and a stronger link between mobility policy and talent management.

Speaking on behalf of DS Avocats, Maître Chiara Poggi Ferrero, a lawyer at the Milan and Paris Bars, and Maître François Millet, a lawyer at the Paris Bar, deciphered the legal patterns of inbound/outbound mobility. As such, their experts explained in detail the specific requirements that weigh on the employer, including expatriate security and its obligations when the employee returns.

The event included a tour of the museum and the discovery of the exhibition “L’Afrique des Routes”, which AGS sponsors.

AGS supports sports and solidarity https://www.agsmovers.com/news/ags-supports-sports-and-solidarity/ Thu, 10 Aug 2017 13:10:01 +0000 https://www.agsmovers.com/?p=20035 While the practice of sport has many advantages in the education of children such as the development of motor skills or the desire to succeed, collective play teaches them about mutual support and cooperation. In addition to these educational benefits, sport is also a way for many young people to improve their social standing and meet children from different backgrounds. AGS, through its subsidiary managers, encourages initiatives that promote these values.

Social diversity through the Delhi Youth League

In New Delhi, Payal Singh, Manager of AGS Movers India, has chosen to sponsor the Delhi Youth League, an organisation that aims to develop soccer among young people aged 6 to 19, from all social, cultural and religious origins. With the motto “the best teaching is the game itself”, the Delhi Youth League brings together children from underprivileged backgrounds supported by NGOs who play for free, as well as students from international, public and private schools who pay to play. Through soccer, children discover teammates that they would never have encountered in their everyday lives. In addition, every week during the season from September to April, budding players participate in matches and learn the discipline and rules that govern the competition.
 

AGS presents the Most Valuable Player of the Year Award

Throughout the year, following every match, each coach selects the “Most Valuable Player” (MVP) of the match in the opposing team. The MVP is not necessarily the one who scored the most goals, but the one who contributed most effectively to the team’s performance. At each game, AGS offers a soccer ball to both players. On 27 May, the league recognised, in each age group, those who had been designated MVP most often during the year. AGS sponsored this award and Payal Singh was there to present the award at the ceremony at the British School in New Delhi.

Established in 2012, the league has experienced a growing enthusiasm as evidenced by the 1000 youths playing across six age groups during the 2016-17 season. Thanks to soccer and the values associated with sport, the league offers young people from very different backgrounds, opportunities to express themselves, to better understand each other and to become agents of social change.

Six age groups were rewarded:
Under 7, U9, U11, U13, U15 and U19 with AGS India Manager, Payal Singh.

AGS supports Ashkenazy duo recital https://www.agsmovers.com/news/ags-supports-ashkenazy-duo-recital/ Thu, 15 Sep 2016 13:56:25 +0000 https://www.agsmovers.com/ags-supports-ashkenazy-duo-recital-2/ AGS Movers Thailand sponsored a two-piano recital with world-renowned pianist, Vladimir Ashkenazy and his son Vovka, who performed in front of a vibrant audience in Bangkok, Thailand. This once in a lifetime event took place on Saturday, 14 May at the Thailand Cultural Center and attracted classical music lovers from all over the country.

An industry legend, 79-year old Ashkenazy senior has reduced his public performances over recent years, and hasn’t visited Thailand in decades. When AGS Group Chairman, Alain Taïeb heard of Ashkenazy’s anticipated performance in Bangkok, he immediately agreed to get involved.

The vibrant classical music scene in Bangkok has expanded progressively, attracting both expat and young enthusiasts. In partnership with the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra (BGO) and TAYS Musical, AGS Movers Thailand was a key driver in the promotion of the concert especially amongst French expatriates.

It was the first time that AGS Movers Thailand sponsored an event of this calibre and, due to its involvement, the branch was able to offer its dedicated clients complimentary tickets to the event. The memorable evening will remain etched into the minds of the entire AGS Movers Thailand team and its clients.
