ITC 2007 in Romania

From 16th to 22th April I went to Romania to experience International Trainers Congress 2007. Hmmm, what to say? Simply it was another amazing and unforgettable AIESEC experience. Just imagine - more than 100 delegates from about 30 AIESEC countries, new PAI Gabiza as a conference manager, site right next to Black sea... And everybody ready to gain new knowledge, experience, friends, wilder network and enjoy AIESEC spirit.

What happened all week long? It started with official Global Village in Bucharest which was amazing - many people, nice wheater, roll calls... Then we moved to National Theatre for Official Opening and we had a great opportunity to see Romanian President who took part too.

Then we were split into home groups and we worked very intensively on our "mission" which was to prepare 4 hours lasting training for Romanian university students. The theme? Personal leadership. I still can see the space in front of the hotel reception, 4 a. m., energy drinks, chips, laptops and tired members from my Sweet Fighters home group doing their best to deliver a high quality training. Two hours of sleep... Journey to Bucharest... University... Delivering training... Amazing active students asking questions, participating, sharing emotions, enjoying... We succeed!!!

I must say during ITC 2007 I enjoyed the best closing plenary ever. Just close your eyes and imagine... 6 a. m. in the morning, beach, sunrise, AIESECers coming from unofficial Global Village, Lukas Prokop from Czech MC playing the guitar, everybody singing One from U2, enjoying the moment, sharing emotions, crying... I will never forget...
