Human Resources European School (HRES)

Once upon a time, in the summer of ‘69 2011 AEGEE-Academy aka ACA had finally some time to relax. As we all know, this is not common behavior by the AEGEEans even after the SU period, so no wonder that ACA felt that something is missing in his life. He realised that he is feeling really lonely.

ACA had a lot of thoughts in his mind and a hole in his heart. Suddenly he had an idea:

He needs someone, the most perfect one to share his life with and create together something really cool, something what could make them and also others busy, a lot of fun and happy for a long time! It is a really difficult thing to find someone for this dream.

After almost losing hope to find “the one”, ACA thought that actually this “she” could be the one finding him, why not? So he gave an open call to the AEGEE network describing his wishes, his parameters “the most attractive body in the network” and preferences towards “the one”.  There were quite some very tempting applications, so ACA had a really hard decision to make…

Finally, after a long emotional torture he has found “the one”. She is from Ukraine, her name is AEGEE-Kyiv and she is perfect for him. This is how the love story started.

The first dates in August 2011 went really well, so thanks to this, they are excitedly waiting for the “fruitful outcome” of them, who will arrive 9 months later – in April 2012 – with the name “HRES”.

The first steps in the relationship…

There was something still missing… the doctors! So the next step was to find doctors who could be there in the pregnancy period and assist by the birth. After some rounds of open calls, 2 enthusiastic doctors (=managers) from Budapest took the challenge and responsibility to handle the baby project and contribute to the birth event in Kiev. In order to have the very best outcome, in February the docs will search for the best 3 nurses (=trainers), 25 enthusiastic medical assistants (=participants) to participate at the event in Kyiv and make the HRES born again! After this romantic start, AEGEE-Kyiv and ACA got on pretty well, moving to the thinking stage of their relationship: clarifying their vision and starting discussing about financial issues. AEGEE-Kyiv, as a very caring and enthusiastic partner was working hard to create the best circumstances, she also asked for a “family aid” (=grant) from Youth in Action. Unfortunately, this one thing didn’t work out as planned, but the relationship was much stronger than to block at this point.

 Current situation

ACA, A-Kyiv and the docs are already working hard on the preparations. They already got to know each other, discussed their expectations of each other, agreed on a timeline, responsibility and task division etc. So the labour room is getting prepared for the birth of HRES ;)

Stay tuned for the next chapter of the story and pay attention to the open calls for “nurses” and “medical assistants” in February!

In this happy relationship & HRES project, 5 people are already highly involved:
