Czech NTT chairing expansion to Poland - Hana's experience

My friend from CEEMOS 2007 faci team, Aga Jeszke, invited me before summer to come to Wroclaw to chair at their Local Committee Conference, LCC 2007 of AIESEC Polska Komitet Lokalny Politechnika Wrocławska.
Well, it went more serious :-) when traveling through whole Czech Republic to Wroclaw. I had the chance to meet facis (=EB) 2 days before the conference started, got to know Kay (Australia) who was OCP of LCC, met few more OC members (Kamila - great job, girl!, Slim - "just" French-Arabic speaking Tunisian trainee). At the venue when delegates started to arrive I realised actually what my role was... pretty soon :-) Seriously, you are there to guide the people through the plenary times, to chat with some of them during the coffee breaks and lunch times, to think of who of them will be the next leading body of the LC in few years, to manage some alumni at their workshops, etc.

To share one of my personal highlights of the conference, I think of the night of global village I spent around 2 hours in the dining hall with Masaru (Japanese trainee), Slim (Tunisian trainee) and Źyrafka (Polish AIESEC member). Masaru talked interesting stuff about his country, wrote some caligraphy posters for us and all seemed to be so nice - just 4 different nationalities from 3 different continets under one roof at one table in one small house in Poland somewhere at the border with Czech Republic... then you think of the peace that is possible to reach when respecting each other.

I had the chance to see how looked local conference in different country and realised we were all the same around the globe. Nice. :-)

supporting LC Ostrava - LTC in Budišov n. Budišovkou

Being invited for Local Committee Conference 2007 of LC Ostrava for couple of hours and delivering 2,5 hrs of outdoor games was my next opportunity to see how guys in Ostrava get ready for newies and what energy do they put into the conference in order to leave with 20 motivated new members.

Having completed some of the task inside as 3 small teams, we went out to play the Human bingo. So we had the chance to see how "drunk soldier looks like" or found out after few minutes who wears red underwear ;-)
Solving some strategic games and having really fun included.
Speaking from my heart, I was greateful I had the chance to see and participate partly at another LTC (so far have attended LTC from 3 other LCs in AIESEC in the Czech Republic) and happy to see how they "live AIESEC" in Ostrava.

Thanks for inviting me & thanks for the short chats we had - it is always valuable for both sides to see the "work" and fun from different perspectives.

Czech NTT chairing expansion to Poland - Lenka´s part

Hey you all! Do you know both lovely ladies of your NTT spent weekend of 27th to 28th October 2007 by being so called chairs of two local AIESEC conferences in Poland? Wanna know more? Here is Lenka´s part. About a month ago I received a very suprising e-mail. I was asked bo co come to Warsaw and be a chair of AIESEC Warsaw University LCC. Of course I did not hesitate and said YES.

I had a chance to get to know amazing faci team composed of AIESEC Warsaw University EB - conference manager Ewelina, Mowdi, Oski, Sandra, Hania, Kwol and supported by Chwalka from Polish AIESEC National Support Team. And I could also cooperate with a nice Organizing Committee led by Anna and supported by internationals Brian (USA) and Vinnie (Brazil).

This conference was attended by about 100 delegates (both newies and experieced ones). It was a big opportunity to meet very various people. And also a big opportunty to find out how it is to be a chair. To entertain people, to be responsible for plenaries, to run faci meetings and communicate with OC. Thank you for giving me chairing opportunity! I learnt a lot:)

Prague and Pilsen LTC

I took part in AIESEC Prague and AIESEC Pilsen LTC this weekend and my say it was just great. I was responsible for delivering outdoor games and presentation skills training.

During Friday afternoon we spent a nice time outside playing games to get to know each other. We went through ice-breaker games, name games but also games for communication and team cooperation to find out how these skills in team are.

On Saturday delegates experienced night game. It was really cold outside and participants were blindfolded so conditions were not easy. However I must say all of them succeded and I was very proud of them. And then I also realized from their words they had enjoyed the games so I was also proud of my outdoor team that helped me to prepare all games, to. Let now say a big THANK YOU to all members of OUTDOOR TEAM. They were: Marťa Motyčková, Teri Lukšíková, Zdeněk Fred Fous, Michal Hudeček, Terka Mrková, Jirka Kolena, Pavel Vávra, Standa Hába and Helča Kebrdlová - all of them from AIESEC Prague.

I also delivered presentation skills training to a group of about 12 newies. I must say I really enjoyed it and hope my participants did the same:)

Guys from Prague and Pilsen AIESEC, I must say - thank you for giving me an opportunity to be a part of such a great LTC as your was. You did a great fob and I wish you good luck with your newies.
