This week is the Virtual Platform Week!

That's why we'll be expecting many posts here and on other internet resources our LC has or can use! The week of happiness for this blog and the week of this blog's rest from only my posts ;)

Waiting for your inputs, stories and sharing!

Adaptation Camp is coming!

Our freshly recruited members in two days will attend their first AIESEC conference - Adaptation 2006 in Ternopil'!

This is an especially important for us event, because four of our EB members - Bashnia, Lariska, Sovist' and Poops will be facilitators in the western AC!

Congratulations and good luck to you - make our "persiks"'s first conference really unforgettable!

Recruitment 2006

I'm getting tired of being the only one publishing posts on this blog, but oh well, it will at least keep me famous for a bit longer ;)
What I want to write is a few words that can describe my feelings about recruitment this year.

This is a special recruitment - from all sides. Many "first times" during it happened. The first time we have ever had awesome recruitment materials like these year's ones. The first time we've had issue-based recruitment. The first time we've had Discussion Clubs. The first time we've had huge and competency oriented applications forms. The first time we've had Recruitment Team (Natalia, Yulia, Nastia, Monika, Ihorko - thank you ;)).

There were mistakes, of course. There were things we did better than expected and things we did a bit worse than expected. We've had our successes and failures.

However, when we were standing in the circle at the end of the LTS and listening to everything that our future generation was saying, I felt so satisfied and happy with the result that it's even hard to explain. I do feel that these people are much better than we were last year, two years, three years ago. I do feel that they are our future. That they are the people we need, the people we want. I hope that you feel the same and that it will prove right.

Thank you - everyone who made at least something to make this recruitment happen. For EB, OCPs, RT, members, for Lviv and Ternopil' interns, for Oksa Zavoyko and Sveta Kroichyk, for Lilia and Oki. Thank you and know that it was because of you that this year we have awesome people to continue organizational development and life ;)

Autumn Conference 2006 in Sevastopil', Ukraine

There were and still are too many impressions from this conference to be able to share all of them consistently and clearly. There is one thing that can be said for sure - AutCo 2006 was one of the best conferences of my life for the last two years. With the passion, spirit, ideas, knowledge, people it brought, it really motivated very many EBs throughout Ukraine. There are many "thank you"s that can be said - to our MC, which proved that it is really "Inspired by AIESEC" both in the conference content and their spirit, to facis for the delivery of the material, to the chair Igor' Solodov for individual approach to every single delegate, to Pavlo Sheremeta for unexpectedness and surprises, to our Lviv EB for ability to learn, work and have fun on the highest level, to all old and new friends for just being there and being friends, to OC for commited and hard work, to the sea and weather for wormth and welcoming atmosphere... And many many more.

The conference passed, but the spirit of AutCo 2006 will stay in my heart for a very long time. Of the conference that showed and taught us a lot more than we expected. That broadened our horizons...

One team - one passion!

Щиро і насправді дуже дуже сильно вас люблю. І не уявляю своє життя цього року без вас. Без ваших усмішок, без жартів, без відвертих розмов, без хай-бай-бо, без суперечливих борд-мітінгів, без розуміння, без шалених привітань одне одного, без такої підтримки і стосунків, які є між нами.

Ви моя опора. Мої колеги. Мої друзі. Моє життя.

Дякую вам! І в нас ще попереду цілих пів року! Уррра!
