AIESEC University live!
Yesterday was about issue-based experiences. What does this mean, what did we do?
In the morning I attended a workshop about bridging the gap between the "west" and the Arab world. We talked about the start of a kind of a PboX on the international level. There are a lot of perceptions on both sides that AIESEC intends to face and to dismantle. Therefore countries initiate special traineeships that will be part of this program. Since we will try to receive financial support of the EU it seems to be a very interesting program, especially because of the LEAP-project.
in the afternoon we joined several partner workshops that were led by facis of the partners. I attended Inbev. One of their products is Beck's. :)
It was an encouraging WS where after the introduction we worked on 2 "case studies". We had to reflect on decisions a CEO would make and present them to the plenum. Was a nice one...
Today the AIESEC University started. Actually we attend workshops facilitated by directors of AI. That does not mean that the quality is higher than the workshops on regional conferences in Germany. But the variety of "courses" is wider.
We have three days of AIESEC Uni consisting of two parts. The first part - 1,5 hours - is theoretical, the second - 1,5h - works on case studies.
Right now we have finished the first part of the first day. At 18h the practise part starts.
This morning we had a session about AIESEC becoming truly global. At the end the delegates had the chance to go to the expansion initiatives and get to know to what's going on. I missed half of it. But when I approached I recognised that Anas was talking and explaining the real life situation in Palestine.There is kind of potential for something... ;)
So far I feel okay over here. It is like a conference but longer. Since i am here in Warsaw for 11 days already I am looking forward to the end of the IC. I will see that I get a train ticket for september 4th.
