Okay, so I’m home now… already for quite some time, but I still feel the “IMPACT” of the conference jetlag… I barely can sleep, my mind’s still full of all those impressions I got at the conference and my motivation (except for the studying part) is still on a …. well… very high level! I really feel like those 4 days (and I’m really glad I was there the whole time) have provided me with so many things!
Then of course, people now come to me, see my eyes all sparkling and I would go like: “Oh, it was totally great, I learned so much at this conference!” and they would ask me: “Well, okay, but what did you EXACTLY learn, now?”
And this is where I would have to pause…
What DID I learn? Okay, let’s see: I had two issue based workshops, one on CSR, the other one on entrepreneurship, then the learning cycle on the UN, the AIESEC identity morning, I had the PboX-simulation where I got elected as VPPD (LC Roger forever), the practical workshops on Sunday…….
But now I realize that this is not where I have learned the most: I’ve learned the most through interaction with the other delegates and Facis… (and yes, this includes the crazy dancing on the table ;)… I had so many interesting discussions with people I met, I made new friends and I received so very cute sugar cubes!
I just want to thank everybody I met at this conference! Thank you for talking to me, for making my brain drudge and for challenging my worldview! This is not just me quoting one of the AIESEC principles; this is what really happened to me! And I’m so curious and I cannot wait to see what AIESEC is going to do to me in the future! One thing’s for sure: I will not resist!
And Sophie: Yes, I will keep my promise!
