AIESEC Wroclaw UE Local Committee Conference

Soon after i found out that i was selected for the PEACE project, i decided that i would make it to the Spring Local Committee Conference of AIESEC Wroclaw UE which was going to be held in March. The people from AIESEC Wroclaw UE are close to me as we spent a lot of time together during my last internship.

As the date got closer i was not sure if i would make it to the conference but when i reached Ostrowiec i asked the co ordinator at the school if i could get a day off and go to Wroclaw and she agreed to it. Looking back now, i am glad she did it.

After a 7 hour bus trip from Ostrowiec to Wroclaw, i headed to Lewin Klodzki with my friend Monika and some other AIESECers. It was nice to meet some of the older members from the LC and catch up with them.

A couple hours before the Opening Plenary of the conference, the LCPs (Lukasz and Magda) asked me to be Chair at the conference as the person who was supposed to be Chair could not make it. I said yes immediately as it was a chance for me to have a an impact on a new generation of AIESECers.

Me being the Chair of the conference was a surprise to everyone and it was nice to see their faces when it was announced at opening plenary.

The conference was a lot of fun. In addition being Chair i also facilitated a few sessions, one of them was a team game, the other was about the various opportunities available in AIESEC (CEED, MC, Internship). I spoke about my internship in Wroclaw and what it was like to be on internship.

The new members seemed enthusiastic and eager to learn. There were quite a few of them interested in going on internship and asked me a lot of questions about what it was like and about other opportunities to travel abroad.

The parties were a lot of fun, the second night was Topalki/boat race and my team came second :D

Talking to all the members and hanging out with them, I felt like i never left Wroclaw 5 months ago...

I am really glad that i made the trip to Wroclaw like i said during the conference, "Life is full of surprises".

The conference was a fitting end to my AIESEC career as i will be applying for Alumni status once i am back in UAE.

I spent the next couple of days after the conference at my friends Major's (Peter) apartment recovering. I missed being in Wroclaw, i really fell in love with the city when i lived there last year.

Here are some of the pictures from the conference...
