Last Christmas, AEGEE-Warszawa organised its third edition of their postcrossing action. 737 people joined the action and over 600 cards were sent out, bringing wonderful Christmas joy to AEGEEans all over Europe. We spoke to Marta P\u0105<\/em>k, this year\u2019s coordinator, to find out more about the great success!<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cThe first edition was organised in summer 2013 by big postcrossing fan and former PR responsible Aneta Bielicka\u201d, Marta tells us. \u201cThe second edition was the Christmas one last year (2013), when 596 people participated. This year\u2019s edition (2014) was the third time. 737 people joined and almost 600 sent their cards!\u201d As a coordinator, Marta was responsible for everything related to it, from creating the event<\/a> to inviting people and matching them with other AEGEEans. Asked why she decided to apply, she tells us: \u201cI really liked it last year! I got a wonderful postcard from Ukraine, and I read all the nice words people wrote on the event\u2019s timeline and it felt great! Then, when I went on Erasmus semester in Padua, Italy I still wanted to contribute somehow to AEGEE-Warszawa, so the Postcrossing was a perfect choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This year too, the messages of happy people who received a postcard and posted\u00a0 about it on their own Facebook timeline or on the event page have made her happy, although her least favorite task is reminding people to send their cards in January. \u201cMaking a postcard and writing a few nice words isn\u2019t that hard to do, and I find it very sad that mature people who decided to apply don\u2019t really care at the end.\u201d Luckily, there are enough people who do care enough and who put a lot of effort into sending out something nice to other AEGEEans, varying from cards of their own city to homemade cards or envelopes with small extra presents. Taking a look at the event, a lot of happy messages from participants can be found, and those aren\u2019t even all of the people who participated and received a card.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Besides sending hundreds of e-mails for the postcrossing, Marta is also a Board Assistant and member of the Action Agenda Coordination Committee. Asked if she has any other plans, she tells us that she isn\u2019t sure yet. \u201cI like when something really inspires me, so I\u2019m waiting for the perfect opportunity!\u201d However, one future plan is certain – another edition of the Christmas postcrossing action next year. \u201cIt\u2019s our new tradition\u201d, Marta explains. \u201cWe want the AEGEEans to share their joy and happiness and send it all over the continent and beyond every year!\u201d<\/p>\n
