Hania in Norway

Hey! :)

Time is passing by so quickly... I’m already in the middle of my CEED.
My truly life-changing experience has place in LC AIESEC NHH in Bergen.
Story started on 10 August when I arrived in Oslo. That was my first journey by plane so I was a bit nervous before – I will kill all the people who made me scared! :) My fear was unnecessary because it turned that I do like flying. I spent in Oslo 2 days staying at the flat of MCP and MC VP of AIESEC in Norway! I was sightseeing this beautiful capital, went to Holmenkollen – the ski jumping, the palace of Norwegian monarchy, Vigelandsparken – famous statues park and then on 12 August I flight to Bergen. And then my CEED real started...

My job focus on recruitment – I help AIESEC NHH to promote recrutation at the university and NHH – business school (kind of SGH ;) ). That includes also stand promotion and info meetings. Besides this I take part in LCM and raising meetings. What’s more my role is just to share my experience, my knowledge and point of view. Tell how works AIESEC in Poland and get to know how works AIESEC in Norway. And I must admit that difference is huge. This challenge much my AIESEC worldview. Curious about difference? Besides common values, goals, identity, wonderful EB ;) similar numeric results, different is... everything :)

LC AIESEC NHH
Number of members come to 50.
Exchange is 24 (15 EP, 9 TN).
Leadership experience - 14.
LC AIESEC NHH is the best LC in Norway (among 5 others).

They work in different student, university and business environment. They have different needs and problems to solve. All of this makes that they work different – has different structure, style of working and culture. Possibility to work in such different environment widen my horizons and develop me as an aiesecer. It’s the lesson for me to accept the differences and try to understand them. It gives me more humility, holistic view and enable me to look at LC Toruń UMK from distance.

But the most important is company :). I met a lot of fantastic people that make my stay here unforgettable experience. I will introduce to you a few of them, the closest to me, EB members of AIESEC NHH:

Jan Robert Børhaug



Siri Sørgard



Jon Martin Valhaugstrand



Samina Nazir



Eyvind Pedersen



At most of them I was living during my stay in Bergen. They are so kind and friendly taking care of me, treat like a little egg ;) With Siri I went to the cabin at the fjords. We spent there wonderful day driving a motorboat, fishing makrelas, sunbathing and admiring beauty of the Norwegian nature. I went shopping with Samina who is shopping maniac ;). I was hiking with Jan Robert. I attended crazy pre-parties at Eyvind and was hugged by drunk Linn Therese :)



Although there are still some days left I already know that I will miss them and Bergen so much..

I fell in love with Norway. With the calmness of this place. Here is so quiet and peaceful. Beauty of the nature takes breath away. People like walking and drink tea from big mugs.Perfect place to live and grow up children :)

High time for summing up.
This CEED overcame my expectations. I received so much, I lived so much, I visited places I was always dreaming about, I met wonderful people.
I wish you the same and truly recommend you CEED experience :)

Warm hugs still from my beloved Bergen,

Hania
