Coffee Break, 6 September 2011, 11:09, First Blog Entry
After heavily planning for the last days there was simply no time to blog. Our first organisers meeting took place on Sunday, including a three-hour discussion on changing the shopping list for drinks and snacks. Luckily, on monday we had ten more hours to set up our conference room and to catch people from the airport. Finally, here comes the first blog entry from the youth-hostel in Hannover!
Mara-Lisa and me are the workshop-leaders and are just getting warm for the next conference days. Happy to be here! Fortunately, the weather improved, not to disappoint our 20 delegates from Italy, Estonia, Bulgaria and Romania. They have just seen Hannover between the airport and the hostel, which is not very close to the city-centre. I lived here as a student for three years and I am ready to do a city tour with the delegates on Friday – itʼs their first glimpse outside of the hostel and the workshop environment. The youth-hostel provides good accomodation, is very modern and feels like a hotel, including rabbits jumping outside in the garden.
As one of the workshop-leaders, this is a particular challenging conference for me, because this is my first conference not being organised from the AIESEC network. This means group rules and project management techniques are dealt with in a different way – letʼs say in a more “last-minute way.”
During the next days our international delegates will write more blog entries, under the editing dictatorship of me. Stay tuned.
