OPS 2007 - faci experience

There was Outgoing Preparation Seminar (OPS) 2007 running Sat-Sun beginning May.
I got the chance to facilitate there when knowing there will be Mena and Lukas MC responsible, Aluska Haluska as chair, 7 experienced AIESECers as facilitators and 80-in-spring recruited SNs who decided to go for AIESEC internship.

Seminar organised by AIESEC CZU Praha (OCP Martin Prokop) at Junior Centrum at Seč u Pardubic ;-)

Me as faci, I was responsible for one so called "home group" of 8 SNs. Btw, cool guys :-)
The aim of this seminar is to "prepare" SNs before they go for the internship, connected with words such as cultural shock, ambassadorship, trainees/returnees discussions, internship goal setting etc.

(faci meeting)

One thing I'd like to mention, it was our beloved Global village.
As we need to meet the challenge of having just few trainees/returnees at OPS, each LC was responsible for having its own stand dedicated to one continent or specific world region.
Man, it was damn well done! Music playin' around, I visited each stand just wondering how seriously everyone felt about GV...

During after-GV party I tried to play Czech brass music - dechovka, it was "polka" - maybe you will not believe, but after first seconds of the music, the dancing stage was full of couples dancing for this song!!
Even trainees were interested how to dance it so some Czech guys started to explain...
Follow up - gonna be surprised at next AIESEC conference with some more brass music, hold on :-P
