Network/Human Resources
Anita and Tena opened the Knowledge Transfer month on the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of August. Setting: garden table, dominating our beloved & huge map of Europe, re-analysing the needs of the network, while preparing ourselves for the NetAca meeting, coordinating the LTCs, Network-Updating, dealing with new locals and small crises, improving the AEGEE members manual…
President
Agata, poor thing, could not get presidential KT before getting some – equally useful – Brussels-crazy-lifestyle KT. That’s how, still half puzzled for the night spent travelling, Ivonne dragged her to an insane Brussels bike trip, returning back home with a very loud laughter at 7 pm. What happened remains a mystery.
But it’s not finished here! The night after (one of the most extreme I can recall in the whole year) was spent in Bulex, a great place opening only once a month.
Presidential KT came later… with budgetary, networking, photo-shopping, and – most importantly – starving lessons.
External Relations
The most professional? Usage of PR programs, website developing, fund raising methods, contacts with companies… everything mapped in a calendar for next year. Apart from that, Robin was overwhelmed with finishing the Key to Europe, which took all our efforts and that we can announce now… OFFICIALLY DONE! And breathtakingly beautiful.
Financial Director
Ivonne planned carefully her KT with her successor Nico. Formal education methods are not enough, definitely not. To show real leadership you need to suffer until you make it until the end. That’s why Ivonne was training for a month, going jogging every day, and now Nico needs to complete The Big Lap of the park all in one take. Did he manage? Yes sir, from the very first time. The kid is on the right way.
Projects/SecGen
Unfortunately, Denis and Olga still could not join us due to visa problems – Robin is still calling the ministry every day. Too bad! Denis is therefore forced to do e-KT with Percin, likewise Olga is communicating with Evren and Tena.
Other highlights:
– Robin, Ivonne and Tena went hitch-hiking to Enschede and back in 24 hours. The reason was love, but it was misinterpreted as an act of theft. (look up!)
– Paulus from Enschede and two lovely girls from Mannheim paid us a visit on one of the craziest weekends of the month. Enough to mention that it finished with our neighbour appearing on the door in his underwear, and that it involved dancing on the kitchen table with motorbike helmets (among the rest).
– Agnes birthday was celebrated several times, including hangoverish family lunch reunion in the garden, while a fantastic friend of hers came to surprise her from Germany.
– Everybody seems cooking-inspired, except for Dragan. Tomorrow it’s him in cooking schedule: “Good luck with that!” – his own comment
On a general line, the CD would hereby like to apologize to the CD-elect if their shameless behaviour caused deep shock in their young minds. However, it is a necessary KT measure: not only it represents a warning how crazy can you become being in the CD, but also stands as a reminder that without a healthy dose of craziness you cannot overcome it.
Not with a HUGE amount of fun, at least!
Which, ladies and gentlemen – believe it or not – is exactly what happens in Rue Nestor de Tiere 15.
