Leadership Experience in Romania

My name is Urs Schweigert and I would very much like to share with you a story of internationalism, leadership, a train crash, an earthquake and a large international conference with swine-flue-ly follow up procedures - the story of my year as national committee vice president for global internships of AIESEC in Romania. But as Mick Jagger already said ‘You can’t always get what you want’, I am going to restrict this entry to a few very brief instances. However I encourage you to approach me via email or in person.

Thank you AIESEC Kaiserslautern for
helping me walk my first steps.

For me, the member committee congress 2008 was probably the hardest election procedure I have gone through. However, after one hour of presentation and questions that followed and two days of waiting, I was very happy to have been given the vote of confidence as one out of two from seven applications. This told me something about Romanians.

Train, train, train

4 days, 10 people

Did you ever facilitate a workshop? Did you train students? Did you pass your knowledge to the participants? Have you been 4 days: full of adrenalin, tired, enthusiastic, loud, silent, funny, severe, …?

I had the chance to experience all these things as a trainer of AIESEC Germany and I never regret it. In October 2008, I participated at a Train the Trainer education from AIESEC Germany and learnt everything for providing trainings. After I trained several workshops and went abroad I didn’t have enough! I participated 5 days at a Train the advanced Trainer conference. We were including the 2 facilitators 10 amazing participants from all over Germany: Würzburg, Münster, Berlin, Bayreuth, Bielefeld, Berlin, Passau and Kaiserslautern!
