Hello!

So, today we actually had the first day of our real faci-premeeting.

I guess it feels different being on an international conference as a delegate and a faci. I've never experienced being an international delegate, but being an international faci has already become something VERY EXCITING for me. Guys, go for it if you have an opportunity!

From early in the morning we have been going through the confernce, its content and all other important things. It was some kind of a challenge my worldview day for me:) : the ways we approach everything here, starting from OCs and their responsibilities and finishing with AIESEC - all differ depending on your AIESEC country, GN. There are differences in how we perceive morning and evening plenaries, roll-calls, everything. There are even diffenerces in how we approach AIESEC XPs and any global initiatives. Just imagine, a team of 12 people representing 11 different countries and 4 GNs :)

We've just finished our OC/FACIs meeting. BTW, some facts about the venue. In Finland, prices for venues are very high, so every time they organise a conference they rent an elementary school almost for free for some weekend (there are almost no conferences that last longer than 1 weekend). And all delegates sleep in sleeping bags.

And as usual, I'm the youngest here:) among facis. Some of them still don't believe I'm 18. Yep, it's so funny to be in a team with all members at least 4 years your senior and several - the whole 10:)

Anyway, I need to go now.
Already missing you

Olya
