My story from Turkey

Hi, I'm Anja and this is my story related to the couple of months spent in Turkey with AIESEC.

...this is really an experience that I want to live it again. You cannot imagine how many people you meet not only in local committee that you work, but also on your journey.

All the people that are there at the same time as you are ceed-ers, trainees,.. so much diversity, it is unbelievable. You have fun, travel and off course work, but the environment and circumstances are completely different and you really want to work because positive energy is everywhere.

This experience change my view of AIESEC all over the world, I feel now that I am a part of a really big and important organization for the society and I want to work in it. I want to make a difference, not just by working in AIESEC, this is also having a big impact on my personal life.

Zivjo dear AIESEC Slovenija!

2.5 months passed since you elected me as your MCP for the term 08-09!

You all know how excited and anxious i feel myself about the coming year. Anyways i think you still don't know exactly who i am and what i'm doing now so i would like to tell you briefly about myself again.

Name: Aigul (means Moonflower in arabic and turkish languages)
Nationality: it's a bit complicated :) i'm russian by citizenship but tatar by etnicity
Home town: Ufa (it's located just near Ural mountains and we have 1 mln citizens there)
Horo sign: Capricorn
Family: both parents are doctors and i'm the only child. they married being students so many people call me *a students child*
University: i study journalism (4th year) but i come to the university mostly when semester exams start :)
My core values: Freedom, justice, love, permanent development

what i love: people.people and people!
i love trying new things, new languages, new ways of travellings. i love kitchen talks and night talks with people, listening and telling stories. i love creating challenges for myself and overcoming them, doing crazy things and enjoying moments. Just being right here and right now and taking maximum of it.

my life vision: to make people arround me happy. How? i was thinking about applying this vision to Human rights area as i feel committed to it and have experience working on that in journalizm. At the same time i use this vision in my everyday life by doing simple things that make an impact.

my biggest dream: to fly on my own. maybe it sounds ordinary, but i got the feeling that i want it when i was invited to the flight-walk arround the Lake of Constance in Germany when i was 16. I was sitting with a pilot as a second pilot and then he proposed me to try to drive the plane. it was a crazy and amazing feeling (+7 people were sitting behind us). To add it was a first time when i was travelling by plane. So this experience reflects a lot on what i'm doing in my life and on my attitude.

my aiesec :) : actually you can read it in my application as well as other info. but if to say briefly - i joined this organisation in 2004, got various experience in all areas, expecially X and TM. Right now i'm MC Director in Russia, meaning that i coach 5 LCs in one of 3 regions, take care of education (conferences) and communications within the region (cooperations, ceeds etc).

my Slovenia: There are 3 months before i start my term in Slovenia. Right now i'm running interviews with candidates to MC team, doing researches on external markets, preparing documents for legal stuff, building connections with other countries and analyzing a LOT.
My wishes for these 3 months of preparations:
communicate as much as possible with you
be aware of what is happening in your LCs
help where i can
be aware of slovene reality as much as possible

My Expected arrival: May!








I'm always here for you. I am happy when i talk to you and know you better and so i know the country because you are the brand of Slovenia. And i'm extremely eager to be a brand of Slovenia as well. Remember, what i told you in my first mcp speech? i know that the TEAM of AIESEC Slovenia will make the country grow in the next term amazingly. And i know that we will do it. All together. Starting from now :-)

Yours

Say Hello to Brraazziiillll =)

Well, Im here =)
After some delay to write on this Blog, finally I will do this. It was my strategy to create a big expectation about my post, and more people read it =p

So, lets start with a small presentation: Im Diego Paim, 21, from Sao Paulo - Brazil. I study International Relations there and joined AIESEC in Sept. 2005.

Since I joined, I ve being doing a lot of great things in AIESEC. I meet a LOT of interesting people, jobs that I never imagined, learned a lot of important stuff, and the most imporant, increase my self-knowledge in soooooo many ways.

I like to do a lot of things, almost everything =) So, if you have something to do, just call me and I will be there ;)

I have to tell the truth, before start to think about aplly for the CEED position here, I didnt knew a lot about Slovenia. And then, somehow, I just came here =)

For me, its, so far, the most intense and coolest experience of my life. I always salled the "Abroad" Experience of AIESEC telling people that is the most intense, a unique and special experience, that everybody should grab it !

And now Im just living what I was selling some weeks ago. And I have to tell: Its AMAZING.
Everyday its a complete diferent day. New people, new places, new information. Its a new challenge, its a new history, and this is the most amazing feeling.

ell, I will stop the Fluffy part now, and let a very clear message for everybody:

GO ABROAD !!!! And live the most amazing stage of AIESEC Experience =)

Reinforcements from Brasil!

As you might have already known, we had some problems electing the national committee of AIESEC in Slovenia last year. This resulted in our national committe not having enough members. There were only three of us until now, while ideally there should have been at least four or even five. This is why we decided to invest some money and efforts into getting some reinforcements from another AIESEC country. In December we released international applications and later choose Diego Paim from to be our External Relations CEED-er. CEED stands for Cultural Envoy for Exchange Development, which is AIESEC's programme of internal exchange within AIESEC, where an AIESEC member goes to another country to either get or give the knowledge on specific area to a committee from another country.

Diego arrived to Slovenia last week. He will be staying here at least until the end of June. He will be working in the area of External Relations, which means product development, proposal design, establishing and servicing partnerships, etc.

I went to pick him up on the train station. He took the train from Milan where he was visiting his relatives before coming to Slovenia. For the first couple of days he was staying in my appartment in Ljubljana, where we had to kick some bureaucracy assess together, get him a Slovenian phone number and so on. After some fun days in Ljubljana we moved him to a hostel in Kranj, hopefully only temporarily, until we find an appartment for our national committee of AIESEC in Slovenia. If you – the blog reader – know about any cheap appartment for 4-6 people to move in, let us know (mail to uross@si.aiesec.org). If you are a company willing to sponsor us in this aim, also let us know. We can set up a meeting and hopefully you will like what we can offer you in return. ;)

I am not going to tell you too much of how Diego feels about comming to Slovenia since he is a better person to tell you this. I can only say that we are very happy to have him here. So, i would like to express the official welcome to Diego on this blog! You can expect his post on this blog soon!
