IC '07 Turkey - part four

PAI 07/08 Gabitza with part of the BG delegation




Geri, Aga and me:)


The past two days of the congress just amazed me! I has always been thinking that on IC there are presented complex and hard to understand strategies. It's not like this:) It was surprising and in the same time impressive for me the simple words that Gabitza used to mark the AIESEC way and to present the AI 07/08 Scoreboard... I thought - maybe great things are really simple and that's why we don't see them...

IC '07 Turkey - part three

So - it seems that blogging is not an impossible thing for me:)
The fourth day of IC was actually its first day - opening plenary, amazing Global Village and Official Ceremony.
In the morning all our efforts on creating the Bulgarian roll call seemed to be not waste of time. We did great on the last rehearsal and on the opening plenary despite the challenges with the sound system (yes, that happens even on IC:)
We continued presenting Bulgaria on the GV - amazing event - 100 countries with their traditional food, drinks, music and culture! Here I felt what diversity is!
Finally, we attended official ceremony - a lot of guests, alumni, partners - it's really amazing how our global partners value relationship with AIESEC. One of the highest managers from HP, Alcatel, Electrolux, InBev and many others are here to be with us.

IC '07 Turkey - part two

Hey again,

Today I was thinking how we understand AIESEC and especially the international aspect. Are we open enough to see other cultures, to cooperate? When you're here you realize that the world is not only Europe - there so many great people from Asia or Africa for example. IC is a place that challenges some of my views on AIESEC and diversity in general. I wish to those of you who haven't experienced the international spirit to do it, and not to wait it to come but to work hard for it!

I want to thank to the guys from BG delegation - every day we have many interesting talks about AIESEC in Bulgaria and cool ideas come up. And I enjoy very much practising our roll call :)))

Finally, some interesting facts about IC. It is taking place in the campus of Yeditepe university in Istanbul - really cool venue. The attraction of the place are the dogs - there are more than 20 of them walking free all around the venue - you can see from the pics that they even attend some of the sessions :P

IC '07 Turkey - part one

After long long time and after almost everybody was has been saying to me "Man, why don't you write in your blog" I decided to share a little bit with you:) The reason as you can guess is that I'm attending the largest AIESEC event - International Congress, which this year is taking place in Istanbul.
Bulgarian delegation is amazing - Ivo, Steli, Blago, Milenski, Aga, Yassar, Nasko and me:) We had two days of hard preparation in order to present AIESEC in Bulgaria in the best way.

Now we just finished the CEE GN pre-meeting and tomorrow IC itself starts! It's really amazing how motivating the atmosphere is here! In every discussion, session or just on lunches and dinner so many ideas come up to my mind... Even when you hear familiar things (cause we're really well prepared) the perspectives of other delegates are very useful. Although only 3 days have passed I feel some more confident for my role in my LC.
