They say  Christmas is that time of the year when you get to spend quality time with your family and close friends. Well, 2 days ago, AIESEC Iasi celebrated its traditional Christmas Party at Verve Café.

4 hours of networking with 4 generations with 4 different  views of life. That`s what our annual  get-together event consisted of.  Actual members  got to  know Alumni and partners of AIESEC Iasi, finding out how  the experience  gained in the organization helped them to become what they are.   Never underestimate the  power of leading by example.

Memories,  old  stories about old projects, updates on current activity of AIESEC Iasi.  Family reunion.

First conference for the newies, it definitely had an impact upon them, helping them to understand the organization and its values, to meet new different people who stand for the same thing: CHANGE.

What did RTS meant to Paula Clapon? “Life changing would be the best words to describe this conference. Great people & trainings, unforgetable experiences, teambuildings, self discovery to another level and awesome parties!”

The oldies had the chance to know each other a lot better, to find their role in the organization and got a glimpse of what it takes to be part of the Board, or manage a team.

Together with AIESEC Brasov and AIESEC Suceava,  AIESEC Iasi  spent some quality time while learning, bonding and having fun.

RTS 2010 was all about hard sessions, great facilitators,  parties,  nice chair.   And sugar cubes.

Oldies, newies, have you read your sugar cubes?

After getting to know each other, our lovely new members found out the AIESEC History and relevance, the AIESEC Way,  Structure&Projects. They also learned how to become Social Responsible, discover themselves and what Entrepreneurial outlook really means.

How do they feel after a 2 days training marathon?  “Great. Even though there was a lot of information, it wasn`t difficult to understand” said Paula Clapon. Mihai Plesca felt “awesome, because it made me feel part of something, a team and it gave me courage to speak and to make friends.”

Yesterday we assigned the mini-projects, all of them based on Exchange and guess what? The members are enthusiastic and ready to work!

Stay tuned for more! There`s another weekend of Induction training coming up.

And once again AIESEC Iasi met its potential new members.

Last night we gathered in Glam Café to speak with you about AIESEC,  about us and the experiences we had within the organization. Read the rest of this entry »

Hello there! We promised more of Sanda and Ioana gone in Exchange in Poland, Krakow and here it is!

“We have been Exchange Participants in Krakow for three weeks already and it’s more than awesome!

Still, while we sit to write this, we cannot find words to express how wonderful our experience has been. Time passes quickly as we enjoy every moment. We might not have believed it before, but Exchange is indeed a feeling that cannot be described unless one has lived it.

Krakow is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe- you should definitely put it on your Must See list. We can never get enough of walking and sensing the age of the buildings or old streets. This city is full of life and we have embodied its soul into ourselves.

The work at the NGO brings us as much excitement and joy as the city itself. The staff is very welcoming and we feel like part of a family there. Working with the kids takes you to another world; one where smiling and laughing all the time is a rule. They give us so much love and treat us as special guests. We draw, play football, create quizzes, organize competitions, teach them about our culture and simply engage ourselves in any activity that puts a smile on their innocent faces. Seeing them grow attached to us as days pass by is one of the most fulfilling emotions one can ever experience.

Furthermore, after work, we have so much fun! Making new friends has never been so easy! Distance now holds a completely different notion for us as we have seen before us just how small the world is.

Romania, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Turkey, Spain, Georgia, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Morocco, and China- we have all united as one for a common goal, under a common experience.

We were told that Exchange is about people who want to make the world a better place and now, we see just how true it is. Exchange is a challenge that after going through, you can only count what you gained.

So when will you pack your things to join us in Exchange?

Lots of love from Krakow!!!

Sanda & Ioana”
