From IC 2006 in Poland!!! Up-date and news from me!
Hello, kohani!!!
I will be writing in English, as there is no Cyrillic alphabet in here.
Honestly, I don't even know what to start from, because it's all is just so amazing! Well, first of all a few things about how we arrived here for the pre-meeting of CEE (Central-Eastern Europe Region), which lasted for 3 days and was based on discussing main CEE initiatives (such as CEE CEEDs, CEE Conferences, CEE ER and ohers), searching for the ways of improvement, making cooperation or just broadening our professional and personal network with the CEE MCs and LCs and preparing ourselves for IC. We have a really awesome CEE GN Board - Yard, our Director, JC (you may remember him from WinCo) - our CEE chair, Innes - Project manager and Aghata - ER responsible. And the CEE region is also very positive, professional and exciting, a wonderful place to be in and to work with.
On the 24rd we had Official Opening, yesterday - Opening plenary with roll calls of all the countries - over 95!!! Lasted for 4 hours and was simply amazing - to see all these cultures, all possible colours of skin, all possible and existing accents in the world... I can't even describe the feeling!!!
Then we had Global Village in the center of Warshava, which lasted for another 6 hours and gave us an opportunity to really feel, touch and taste all those cultures and countries, their food, their traditions, their national costumes, their languages, dances and songs.. And of course to show our own, Ukrainian culture - you'll see later on pictures and videos from countries and all the people, at least what we tried to capture :) But believe me it was really amazing!
Later the same yesterday's evening we had a chance to talk online right there in the plenary with all PAIs since 1997, to see how changes in the organization were made and the reasons why those decisions where made, as well as how we got to this point that we are at right now. It was awesome to have this opportunity thanks to our IS team and PAI - Dey, who created the whole session and facilitated the discussion.
We are really short on time here in our breaks - I always have to choose whether to go and have lunch or check my mail :) Right now I'm sitting in the HP computer cafe with over hundred other people at the computers doing the same I'm doing right now - sharing their thougths with their LCs and countries and posting their ideas on the new IC online resource
I sent the other day a link - live.ic2006.pl -- you can see there absolutely everything about IC, participate in online discussions,, forums, see the pictures and videos from teh sessions, downloas sessions and give feedback to them. Don't forget to register first!!! And don't be sorry for extra time - cause i guarantee you are going to love this!!!!
Running now for the next session,
want to here what else you want to know while I'm here at IC,
and already miss you greatly!!
Pls, keep this voice up-dated for me to know how everything is going there for you, and I will try to do the same!
With love from Poland, IC 2006,
Yours Ol'ka
