IC 2006 has started!!
Hey AIESEC!
Yesterday evening the IC 2006 officially opened with the Opening Ceremony. We watched a lot of traditional polish dances, had some short speeches of Dey, PAI, and corporate partners of the IC 2006.
It was a nice opening. The dances were more or less similar therefore I had have a relaxing time. the whole ceremony took about 3 hours...
This morning we had again a long ceremony, the Opening Plenary. But this time we could watch the Role Calls of every AIESEC member countries + the extensions currently running. Since Palestine is not yet officially approved as extension country we were not called. Nevertheless we had quite a good time that went on in the afternoon with the Global Village. All countries could present themselves in the center of Warsaw thus everybody could attend the village.
Even Palestine got an own tent - since a couple of countries are not present at this year's IC some tents were free to take for presenting us. We organised a table, but our stuff was missing. Every coutry had to bring their stuff used to present and give away in the village to the check-in desk at the IC-site. Unfortunately the CC could not make it to deliver our bags on time. Therefore we got it just at the moment the village was closed and were on our way back to the venue... Very annoying since our intention is to present Palestine. We missed this opportunity...
Right now we are listening - or better not listening ;) - to former PAIs talking to us via phone. It is a session about te last 10 years of AIESEC. They are telling us their thought and plans they had thus we can understand how the idea of AIESEC 2010 has been developed. It is a very nice and amazing thing to listen to them and I really respect their work. But it takes a lot of time and I am very tired after this hard day... :)
later on we will meet with around 20 AIESECers from Berlin visiting the IC for this weekend. Hope we can have a bif party overhere.
