Hello, my dear AIESEC in Kyiv!
Now I do feel that AIESEC is really dear for me!
We just came back from Poland and the first thing we have done – wrote you a msg on voice. While being in Poland we thought about Ukraine a lot, about @ in Kiev, what we have, what we don’t have in @Kyiv comparing to other countries.
It so much has to be done in our LC, in the whole Ukraine!
So.....how did our journey started.....?
We came to Lviv on 18th, so that we had the whole day to wander around this great city.
Our journey started with some adventures from very beginning:
I contrived to lock my suitcase with the lock and didn’t have a keys for that lock, so then all the delegates were the witnesses how one Polish professional cut my lock – that was very funny:)
On 19th we managed to come to the meeting place in the centre of Warsaw and that was not without losses – in the polish tram Dima was robed and now he is without his mobile;((((
Anyway, we still were in a good mood, eager to meet so many nice ppl!
When we got to our hotel we met there the other part of Ukrainian delegation: Inna (MC VPFinance), Christina (LC Lviv) and Oksana (Alumni LC Lviv). We were really organized registered and went to our rooms.
There the first plenary, the first meeting all together around 60 ppl from 16 different countries!!!!
The chair was Jaro from CHech Republic– he really rocked the house!:)
We had great Facis and OC was very helpful. The conference was highly organized. OC gets mark 5+!
About the content of the conference:
- microfinance, micro credit – very interesting, the information was based a bit more on the very poor countries like in Africa. This training was very motivating and made us to thought a bit more wider: you can invest 50 $ in the poor family and help them to survive or you can just spend it on the jeans...
- budgeting from PwC – the info was really good prepared but we didnt have any workshops
- Project planning - that was kind of relaxing and funny in my group
- Ratio analysis – I liked that pretty much, understood that I still have to learn a lot. By the way, who knows what Balanced Scorecard- is? Some LCs have already it implemented or in the process of doing it....
- A glossary of finance – that was kind of very creative work in my group:)
- Business plan by Danon really rocked the house!!! That was great, really professional presentator!
- And other........
I think most of delegates will agree with me, that not the content was here the best, the best was the ppl we met there!!!!! There were members, VPs, LCPs, MCs, interns, trainers. The majority were VPs Finance and LCPs.
Invest Yourself was not typical @cers conference. It was the first Learning Network Conference!
The agenda was not so in a rush like we usually have, we had big breaks, the party (OH, PARTY!!!!) started at 22:00, we had good food:). So we had time to speak with everyone, to get to know each other better, to discover new things about different countries, to make friends!
So, yes Party time – that was great! My bow once more to OC – the parties were really great, they even managed to raise DRINKING PARTNER – so, that we had FREE Alcohol!!!
Global Village – without any comments, you know how cool it is to meet 16 different tables with some delicious things to eat and to drink:)!

On the closing plenary Ukraine delegation stands out again! While shouting the shout we jumped so strongly that equipment of the plenary (flip-chart board and the screen) fell down. OOUPS:))
Nobody wanted to leave.................
In the same time we were eager so much to share with you our feelings.
I still feel that some part of me is with those ppl.....I really hope to meet them again:)
