the meeting place

even when it was a little hard to hang out in the city at the beginning, it finally felt as home n Poland. i spent several days there, no workshop there though, but i got to hang out with the people of AIESEC (Wroclaw AE) n all of them were great n were very fiendly. the city is great, specially for this small islands right in river where people go to have bbq that i joined a couple of times. looooved the architecture and the cultural heritage it has... i didn't want to take many pictures when i arrived there (i arrived right to Wroclaw) it was so freaking freezing i didn't want to leave the dorm... just to Biedronka to buy food to survive. so, sightseeing came at the end of my trip... n i couldn't get to see all the places i wanted, but hope this is motivation enough to go back n take many more pics :)

1st city i landed in Poland... and the last one too. Wroclaw the meeting place... felt like home :)

The Project

"Enter Your Future" (EYF) is a project held by AIESEC, where interns (aka "trainees"- for the proyect, "trainers" - for high school students) go into the High Schools in different cities and deliver workshops about Entrepreneurship. The sessions were based on a non-formal education method, with subjects as Interpersonal Communication, Decision making (Budget case), Creativity, Emotional Intelligence, Negociation, Selling and more. The trainers recieved one weekend preparation by Krzysztof Dzioba, who was great on his task, thanks! Then we were sent into different cities to run the workshops... i went to Legnica, Bialystok, Czestochowa and Opole; usually going back to Wroclaw for the weekend. My "buddy" Basia and my "boss" Marcel are great people, i am very glad i had to work with them, thanks guys! and the Local Comittee was also great, they all made Wroclaw to feel like home in Poland :)

Polska

Even when a very cold weather recieved me, it had nothing to do with the great and friendly people i met in Poland. not only the friends i got, but people on the street were very nice... specially this inspector on the train who tried to tell me in polish the best route to go to Czestochowa from the border with Slovakia... i think she still doesn't know i don't speak polish, but was a great help :)

i'd like the 'pols' to appreciate more their country, in general, 'cause i saw a developed country, educated, organized and beautiful all around n every corner; but many people didn't see it as me... maybe 'cause i come from a place that is a little more messy hehe. anyway, Poland is a great country and i'd love to go again.
