From time to time, when I do not have enough concentration for work to do I review some videos or ppts that give me motivatian. One of the ppts is very known in AIESEC and it is called “Sunscreen” and it consists of general advices how to live. One of the slides that I remember pretty well was only with one word “Travel”. Just travel. When you travel you meet new people, who broad your worldview, you have an opportunity to look at your routine things from another angle, share your own experience and get a feedback. As for I am really passionate about IT, I always want to share my knowledge in that sphere, so that people make their life’s easier, more exciting and challenging. So, I when I had an opportunity to go to Kirovohrad to make a training I had no hesitations.

There is direct train to this city, but when you go out from train in the morning and see that there is only one carriage and it looks pretty funny. The architecture in Kirovohrad is not so pretty, especially, the central square, but the Lenin street, that starts near it is just amazing – it reminds Western Ukrainian cities – Lviv and Chernivtsi.

Soon after my arrival I was met by VP PD of AIESEC in Kirovohrad Katya and the official part of my visit began. We went to nice place that is near Kirovohrad – to Berezhynka, where nature is beautiful and it was really fascinating experience. The training I delivered was a part of my new training about Web 2.0 conception – what today’s internet looks like and how it can be working on you (for example, one of our favorite things – blogs and podcasts are from Web 2.0 conception). The training was a kind of conversation between me and listeners that I liked very much. From time to time we talked about personal development, lucid dreaming and other interesting stuff  I learned about not long ago. After that we had a talk with LCP Angela and VP PD Katya about what IS in Kyiv and Ukraine looks like, in what way it may help the development of Kirovohrad’s committee. I was delighted about persistence and confidence of Angela, cause it was my first private conversation with her. She reminded me our dear LCP in some way. As for VP PD, I think almost everybody from active AIESEC members knows she’s pretty funny and serious person. Luckily for me, I’ve taken some discs (podcasts, training, ppts etv) with me, so it was not only help in words for LC Kirovohrad.

As for one of private conversation, one of my talks was with guy (everyone called him Dosja) as I just described a little bit what AIESEC is, which opportunities it gives and how IT is perspective. So, really-really hope to see more ITified ( my own word, I’ve created just now, comes from electrified :) ) LC’s and some more experienced specialist in out National IS Team…

Thanks for LC Kyiv for an opportunity to travel and support Kirovohrad!!! They have a great future so let’s give them a hand of help!!!

I am really looking forward to the start of new year and hope to deliver full training “Web 2.0 or how to make internet to work for you” for our LC Kyiv Members.

Still, Kyiv is the best !!! :)))
