Planning weekend of the new Executive Board

On our planning weekend in September we, the current executive board (EB), analyzed our local committee. With respect to the national strategy, the EB is focusing on the following working areas in its term 2010/11:

• Sales Management & TN Raising
• Member’s Education & Training
• Goal Setting & Performance Assessment
• Supply & Demand Management
• Efficient Matching Processes

We created strategic actions to every working area and refined every strategic action into smaller, measurable action steps.
If you are a team member and wish to have more insight in the strategy just approach your team leader.

My IAESTE Internship in Kaiserslautern

My last day in K-Town

My name is Iordanis and I am from Greece. I am studying Civil Engineering and I came in Kaiserslautern through a program called IAESTE to spend three months doing an internship in the Technical University of Kaiserslautern. I should admit that these three months were the most joyous and exciting period of my life.

My Management Internship at Dell

I’m here for my second
AIESEC internship

I think it is safe to say that Slovakia is not one of the best-known countries of the world. It has only 5 Mio. inhabitants and not many people go there. I’m now here for my second time. What’s even more so, I’m here for my second AIESEC internship.

How come? After the end of my studies at the TU Kaiserslautern, I was looking for an opportunity to go abroad again, when I received an email forwarded by the president of the local AIESEC committee. Dell was looking to hire German native speakers and a girl from AIESEC Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, sent a mail around to the people she met on different international AIESEC conferences and asked if someone was interested to come to Bratislava. She knew that I liked my stay in Bratislava so I got that message; read through it and thought: That’s a good idea. I filled up a form and put it in AIESEC’s data base. As I was in it and being an older member, I was already looking for other internships. In the end, Dell responded the quickest. I got accepted and in less than two months I was in Bratislava.

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!
