LCC Xmas

This special day I want to remind you about our LCC Xmas :)

Some thoughts one of our members:

I can't believe that one year since my first conference on @ passed so quickly... so many happends on this year. This conference was special for me. I didn't expect so many knowladge, but some sessione was very useful and curiously routed. Christmas LCC is good time to think about yourself, our future (not only in AIESEC). We had special opportunity to celebrate this time. It was one year when we meet with Jankowska. It was one year when Michał came back to @. It was 20th conference of Michalska. I think I will remember for a long time Christmas dinner, Ola's speech, Santa Claus, my gift (I got the best gift without any discussion!!!). I think that all members who's participate on this LCC needed it. I'm so proud of my exOC - Wiola, she was OCP of this conference. I think that everybody needs time like this - time for relax, thiniking about yourself and time for a good fun :)
~Maciek

That's true...we all had really grat time!
Let's see again how AWESOME was that conference:



Once again MARRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Merry Christmas!

LCC Recrutiment Soczewka

I couldn't wait this conference. Together with out LCC team we spend so many time to prepare this conference. I wanted see results of our job.And when we start first plennary... when I saw smile on the delegate's faces, when I heard all of shout I was fuckin happy that I could be part of team which create this conference.

On this conference we got a big dose of knowledge, among other things about coaching, new @ Way, seeling. Of course we didn't forget about patry... On the first night we were vampires, ghosts and another scary monsters like everybody on Halloween. On second night we moved to India...

On Saturday's evening we knew new members of our projects (myslę że tutaj możesz wypisać kto do jakiego projektu trafił). After alocation projects was time for integration new teams ;)

Sunday was time for last sessions. We said good bye with our chair - Rodrigo from Brasil and we run to our home. We came back to Toruń full of motivation and positive energy!

~Maciek

P.S. Do you remeber that times? :)

EuroCo 2011

Euro Co 2011 took place in Prague 17^th – 23^rd October 2011.

The “European Congress”, called “EuroCo” is the annual summit for AIESEC’s local committee presidents of two regions, Europe and North America. With around 200 participants coming from all over Europe and North America, EuroCo acted as an international meeting platform for more than 40 countries.

The main goal of workshops, discussions and seminars was to provide the delegates with important “soft-“ and “hard-skills” for their work in their local committees. Moreover, EuroCo represented a platform for networking and discussion about relevant world topics as well as exchanging and cultural experience.

The local committee presidents had the chance to exchange their ideas and experience with each other and build friendships. We took part in two Global Villages, Czech Day, Gala Night, and many parties. Me as an LCP really enjoyed the conference I recommend my successors.

On 5th of August we had Spanish party in EB flat. Our intern from Ernesto Rúa from Spain, LC Valladolid.

He prepared for us traditional Spanish food - tortilla and shrimps, drink - sangria. It was very delicious :) We spent great evening with all interns and our members. When we ate and drank we go on old town to Rewolucja club. We danced for a long time. Plamen was King of the dance floor :p In the midnight we came back together to EB flat and we went to our beds exhausted but happy.

After this party all girls told that Ernesto is the best candidate on husband because he is great cook, cleaner and dancer :)

We are waiting on next cultural evening :D

Central European Congress 2011!

On the spot Marta & Marta have met many people from various European countries and established new friendships J With the rest of Polish delegates they were attending sessions on International track.

During one of the days all delegates prepared flash mob in the streets of Győr.

This conference was organized by AIESEC in Hungary, along with Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Sumco 2011

From 14th to 17th of July our Committee was hosting Sumco 2011 conference!

It was the second Sumco conference organised by our Committee and by far the best one ;)

For the first time national conference was taking place in beautiful city of Toruń :) Delegates were sleeping in dormitories no 10 & 11 and all sessions were delivered at amazing NCU campus, mainly Faculty of Economics.

Of course there was also time to have some fun, thanks to "Od Nowa" students club for allowing us to use their club.

Sumco 2011 OCP, OC and our Committee received awards for organizing this conference. There was also another suprise - our LC received permission to organise next Sumco conference - Sumco 2012!!! We truly believe that it's going to be even better than this year edition ;)

When it was over, tired but extremely motivated and happy, we went back to our flat;)

Special thanks to our University for helping us and allowing us to organise this special event at our campus. Thank you delegates, thank you faci and especially thank you our wonderful Sumco 2011 OC!!

LCM 05.05.2011 - crucial moment for our LC

On 5th May our Committee had very important LCM!

Our Executive Board decided to reaveal part of their plans for upcomming term 2011/2012 ;)

In the beginning we introduced to LC our new coach - Rafał Chmura, and we presented both vision of our EB for the next term and vision of AIESEC in Poland 2016!



But, it was just the beginning ;) The high point of our meeting was presentation of one of our most important priorities in 2011/2012,

so...

we've decided...

to...

RUN EXPANSION PROGRAM FOR BYDGOSZCZ!

That means we want to set up AIESEC Initiative Group in Bydgoszcz, which we believe will became LC Bydgoszcz in the nearest future!

It is an ambitious goal, but we will make it!

Input 2011

The second conference we have took part with the whole EB, was INPUT. The INPUT is the most significiant conference, because during this event Executives Boards are planning their actions to the upcoming term.

At night, from Tuesday to Monday, while the majority of our team was still sleeping, our LCP Ola with our VPF Michał set off to the Sulejów. They had to travel at night, because of financial test next morning. They passed it at the first run. Together we met on Wednesday morning at a place, where Ewelina - OC SumCO was waiting for us.

In the first day we were presented a vision of 2016 by MC. Thus we received a huge dose of knowledge, indispensable to further planning. This day, we were so tired that we fell asleep as soon as the plenary has finished. We expected three, especially hot, days of planning . Therefore, we had to thoroughly rest.

Next days delivered to us knowledge from individual branches. We made use of this wisdom during projecting our term. Meanwhile we were eating corn crisps and discussing (not only about the Schedule). It made us a big pleasure. On Thursday we accomplished work after midnight. It was a record for us!

Our planning was crowned by the ceremonial Gala. The MC presented the plans of the whole AIESEC, based on the plans of all committees. AIESEC Poland planed 2736 exchange in 2011 ! I have to point, that everybody was very satisfied, excited and they felt proud of such intensive and efficient work. Moreover, we were convinced, that together we could achieve everything we had planned.

On Sunday we had to come home. We missed the bus, so some of us decided to go hitch-hiking.

Besides of hard work and endless hours spending In room on planning, I can’t forget about funny situation with a jam. We will never forget Radek Świszcz - he took care about regular delivers of jam and, of course, about athletees which again unexpectedly arrived in the same resort. This time they were wrestlers. Now, we wonder who will we meet on SumCo.

EuroXpro 2011

Between 16-22 March 200 young leaders from over 50 countries and territories, were converging the most impactful AIESEC conferences in Europe – the EuroXPro 2011. Poland was represented by delegation of 22 people including me - Ola Napierała. This year, EuroXPro was organized in the captivating country – Estonia. The purpose of EuroXPro was to provide platform for self-development, practical skills, organizational information and networking opportunities to leaders of AIESEC to be able to prepare them for their leadership role. EuroXPro is a conference for MC and LCP elects in WENA and CEE region. All delegates came to develop the strategic direction in CEE and WENA GNs through the elaboration of IPM strategies and the development of action plans. The theme of the event was youth mobility, and it was focused on a multitude of issues such as sustainability, youth led impact movements, ethical business, emerging markets, and labour mobility. Me and other delegates took part in conference with external estonian audience, Global Village in big hipermarket in Tallin, banquet, parties and many trainings. The time I spend there was amazing. It was my first international conference and I hope not the last. I learnt a lot by sharing experience with people form other countries , I had opportunity to talk with AI and specially Hugo Pereira and I also made some friends. I honestly recomend everyone to go for international conference!!!

Local Career Days ® 2011

23 of March will be remember as a day of great succes. Carrer Days 2011 ® was a big event. 6 month of hard work. 8 completely different people, whom had to work with each other and tried not to kill themselves;). It’s was big challange.

At first, when we realized that we are a team now and there’s a lot things to do, we are so scray, but also excited. But there was no time to sentiments. It was time to work.

We have been going to negotiate with companies, which were stressfull but also funny job, we had to organize place, time, promotion and everythig to make Career Days® happened.

But we wasn’t working all the time. There was also some time to partying, baking cakes, eating Kutia and teaching a rabbit to do some tricks. ;)

Week before job fair, we had promotion party in Kotłownia. Many people was come to have a great time with us. On our part

y we have some competioions for students, with very nice award. As it turned out, it was excellent, effective way for promotional event.

On the day before Carrer Days® our office looked like a mess. We had sooo many things to do, food to buy, phonecalls to do and many other things. Without our committee help it would be so much harder. Most of our members were engaged in the preparations. We have stayed in University for all evening to make sure, that everything will be at the right place next day, and also to eat some pizza then. :)

Finally, when the Big Day comes, everybody was excited. We were dressed up, nice smelling and ready to work. We had to take care of 26 companies wich wanted to present themselves on Carrer Days®, and also take care of companies witch lead some trainings for students. Among them were our local strategic partner- Lidl and national strategic partner- Nestle, national company like Unilever, PwC, Danone, Deloitte and of course local company for example Neuca. We worked together with Biuro Karier. Everyone of us was supposed to take care of one of that companies. There’s so many students, and other pepole who visited us in that day to talk with future employers, take part in some trainings and meet some interesting poeple. Our job fair attracted media attention. There were quite a number reporters from radio, TV and press. They all wanted to make a journalist material about Career Days®. We were so satisfied!

At the same time, 22, 23 and 24th on March, took place Academy of Skills. It is the merits part of Career Days®. During this three days, our Torun students could participated in 32 trainings prepared by professional company. This trainings mostly focused on enterprise, recruitment process, career path and development of soft skills such as autopresentation and leadership abilities.

The companies, the students and also our team was very satisfied after Carrer Days®.
We was so tired, but as happy as it’s possible.
It was a great event and we want to invite you on Carrer Days® in next year !!!

Something ends, something starts :)

Hello Dear Committee!!

Today is the first day when new Executive Board starts their term 2011/2012. I cannot believe that everything was so fast!! There is many things I would like to share with you right now... I will write you the most important things after this amazing year as LCP :)

My journey started when I decided to apply for LCP 2010/2011 one day...long time ago ;) Maybe not all of you know that I applied for LCP 1 year earlier (from OCP position). But this wasn't time for me then. So when I was VP TM, many people said that I will be LCP next year and sometimes I felt like it was their decision, not mine. And I remember the day (1 day before DDL) when I came to Kinga's dorm and I told her that I will not apply as LCP. Kinga, do you remember this ? :) We had long conversation and finally I decided to apply (and it was best decision I've ever had!). I knew that it was about what i want to change, what I want to achieve and what I want to do with people in the Committee. Kinga, thank you very much for that conversation!! :*

So I applied and... I was chosen. It was 6th of February, I will remember this day for a long time. My life has changed a lot from that time. I've got my EB (Ola, Dorota, Maja, Łukasz, Kamila, Bartek), we had many meetings, conversations, conferences, planning and work hard during holidays. It was great time of working with people who were totally different than me, learning from each other, dealing with each other and trying to live with each other in one house (Wyspiańskiego 26/3 - EB flat, I will always have a sentiment to that flat :) ).

It was a hard time of challanges, adventures, making tough decisions, making me more aware of who I am and what I want to achieve. A time of persistence, time which tauhgt me how to think positive and how do not resign from goals I set. Time spend with lot of great people from different countries, of working on my weaknesses and improve my organisational skills. Time of learning from mistakes and celebrate successes. A time which I wish all of you to have one day :)

Thanks especially for my EB: Ola, Dorota, Aśka and Michał!! You are great people I've learnt so much from. Thank you for your engagement, fun, smile and that you were a support in hard moments. For your openess, enthusiasm and motivation to do more each day. For many hours spent on planning :) and discussing, for your work in departments and new things and initiatives you initiated. I hope you leant a lot, drawn conclusions and this experience will help you in the future :) You will be my EB, the best EB for ages!! Love you guys!! :)

Thank you my Middle Management: M&M (M.M.), Franek (M.F.), Andzia, Aga, Modzel, Madziaboć, Daga, Natalia, Zakościelny, Seba and Malwina. Most of you did a great job!! It's your work that made results to our Committee. It's also your success that we had many Interns in or Committee and also we send many people abroad. Thanks for your engagement in @week, in LCCs, in all we did in LC, for each meeting we had and also for your feedback to EB which was very essential and thanks to you we could make better work :) I know that sometimes you had enought ;p but anyway we did a great job!!

47 eXchanges!! It's a second best result in LC history!!

And we did it!

I would also like to thank our Marvelous Middle Management: Maciek, Dorota, Magda, Adam, Oskar, Ewelina, Zako, Jowita, Ania. You are just gorgeous!! You have so much of positive energy and motivation! I'm waiting for your next successes (you already have some) and I know that I will see amazing results on your absolutory G.A..

Thanks also Newees who joined our LC! You are the future of our LC! Already have successes, many of you had meetings and will have in the near future. I wish you to gain from AIESEC as much as you want, take each opportunity and do not be affraid of challanges. It's all about them - remember that things are scary only the first time :)) Go for conferences, talk to people, gain knowledge and experience, share and may your dreams and goals come true. Remember - it's always up to you!

Many thanks also for people who helped me a lot during this term. It's of course Alumi (Kinga again :), Łukasz, Ewelina, Zielak, Klisiewka, Misiek, Ania J., Ania F. i inni). Thank you for your support, for workshops you delivered to our members, for each conversation and advice I had from you. I know that you are helpful and full of positive attitude to us - hope next EBs will also gain from you a lot.

What more i can say... It was really amazing year for me. I wish you to have such moments in your life which will change you for ever and give you a lot of power to act. Which will make you believe that everything is possible when you just want it!

"Follow your bliss ant the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls"

Wish you many successes,
Eunika,
LCP 2010/2011

Finally we met our commissions!

The second day was devoted to integration. We participated in trainings and after all commissions wanted to know each other better, so we spent the evening together. We talked a lot and we played crazy games :)


All this to the next day to start a fully integrated common work. We had a lot of useful training courses, we shared our experiences and ideas. Every day brought something new, something we can use in our work. In this way we work in our commissions 3 days.

This time gave us opportunities to acquire knowledge. It was very important for us because we started to know each other. We have met a lot of people from all over the country and learned a lot of useful things about selling and marketing and finances.





TEAM DAYS:
When we came back to Toruń on 27 of February we continued our Team Days. That day was very important because we created our vision and values to which we will aim in this year. We also had a lot of funny and difficult tasks which helped us to find out many new things about ourselfs. We spent all day together and we decided to cook common lunch. It was very funny and the spaghetti was delicious!!! We surely will do that again in future! This day spent together has put smiles on our faces and we discovered how much things we have in common. We want to spend more time and work together because we know that only in team we can achieve our goals.

Welcome and Goodbye!

On 5th of February we've all met together to welcome Larissa Sadykova and to say goodbye to our member Asia Królikowska and our trainee Ya-Wen Ho!

We've started our party from a flat on St. Katarzyna street. Not only AIESEC'ers have been on this party. A lot of people were in this relatively small yardage!

Later we decide to go to Carpe Diem, but when we came to the club there was no place enough to take all together, so we went to Kotłownia club. We had a lot of fun!

Let's say few words about this people.

Larisa Sadykova came to us from Sankt Petesburg in Russia and she is on Management Traineeship in Planika - company located 10 km from Bydgoszcz (and about 60 km from our Committee). She will be on practice to the end of April, but who knows maybe she will be with us longer. In Planica she is responsible for contacts with Russian company and she translate Russian documents for company.
Larisa likes to travel


Asia Królikowska worked in AIESEC Unemployed project and she was Diversity Team Coordinator. Now she is going to Belgium to study. Asia! We wish you many success and smiles every day!


Ya-Wen Ho came to us at the beginning of November and she were living with one of our local committee member. She were on Educational Internship in language school - Pigmalion in Toruń. She have been in Birmingham one year on exchange. In Poland, except Toruń she visited Olsztyn, Cracow, Wrocław, Kodowie Zdrój, Malbork and Warsaw.
On the sixth of February Ya-Wen went to Taiwan and say goodbye to Poland. We will miss you!


Three people fascinated with traveling to other countries and discovering unknown. We hope to see you all again! All the best for you!
