A – GROUPS A new concept of networking events. The aim is to create a space for each of you to discuss issues of concern for you and meet people from the same field of work or study you might not already know. We plan to schedule meetings on regular base, dedicated to different topics with maximum 2 hours duration. Each event will have own speaker according to the topic discussed who will be followed by the discussion. The main goal of the event is to give you a space to share your experience and build new contacts.

MEMBERSHIP The short term goal of the association is to increase network of active members who can help to each other. That is the reason why we plan to launch new initiatives like A – GROUPS, better content on conferences and new networking opportunities. Since January 2016 for people who want to be active members of the association there will be membership fee. The membership fee will be disscussed on DARE. It should cover all activities of the Association.

Can you briefly describe yourself? Hi I am Vaco! :D Ok, and something more about you and your background? I have been in AIESEC since 2002 till 2010 approximately, Mostly in marketing area, I never did matching (HAHA). I Was team leader, part of Career days team and National Trainers Team, LCP at Comenius University and then I was nothing and nobody :D so I left and I started with other alumni Alumni Association. What about your professional career? I have never been professional. Just kidding. I used to be an IT guy when I was on high school. Later on I somehow switched to be a business guy. I am helping people to start their own projects and their own businesses. Are you running any other businesses except Connect ? I have an IT company borned before Connect. I also have few small projects but it is too early to talk about them and will take too much time to be relevant to mention them. One of the goals of AIESEC is to create young entrepreneurs who can have impact on a society but for many young people it is a huge problem to start a business. What was your biggest obstacle and how did you manage it ? There are no obstacles, there are opportunities and challenges. Being and entrepreneur means face obstacles and issues every day. There is bung of steps you have to go through, and if you manage that, you won. If you cant go through the obstacles you maybe shouldn't’t run a business. Can you briefly describe Alumni Association ? I saw advantage of having a legal platform for interacting, finding an opportunities and

creating new projects. That is the vision we are still keeping. Do you have some short term goal for AAS? I have a lot of short term goals but this is better question for you two. My long term goal is to h a v e m o re t h a n t h o u s a n d m e m b e r s participating on cooperation life of alumni and sharing AIESEC values. That is a long term goal for next 5-6 years. What is the current situation of association? We have around 300 members, 700 people in mailing list and we, together with cool NST, are running alumni meetings. We are set up finally, we will get money from 2% of taxes. We have a basement to build on a huge network in our country. If there are some alumni who would like to join AAS and would like to help, what can they do? First step is to sign into a mailing list, to get sign into a Facebook group and to join us for some event, either National conference, Alumni Convenium or A-Groups. Now.. The question everybody is waiting for and everybody is talking about. We can see you lost a lot of on your weight. What is the reason behind it? Tell us your secret :D Your body, your soul and your mind has to be always in a good condition. If one part of these is not working all your life is losing a balance. Stable balance of life stay on 3 pillars. If you loose one and you don’t care about your body, soul or mind, it fall down. This is the secret you should have on your mind all the time.

MC Evolution AIESEC in Slovakia MC team for the term 15-16 is unique for many reasons. The ones that pup up the most are that we represent 7 nationalities, being the most diverse MC team Slovakia ever had and we are super eager to bring AIESEC in Slovakia to a new level by evolving all the processes we run. NPM and current status of LCs Before the term started we had a National Planning Meeting where together with the leadership body of the entity we agreed to move towards THE THING of AIESEC in Slovakia.

THE THING of AIESEC in Slovakia

We provide experience in an international environment by inspiring youth to make a positive change on Slovakia.

According to their current status, during NPM, LCs’ EBs decided what cluster from the following they belong to: LC visits July was half dedicated to LC visits where together with EBs and TLs we defined their priorities in terms of exchange areas. The output of all the LC visits is a plan with activities that will help them to achieve their plans for the winter peak. Central European Congress At CEC we tried to “Shape what we do around what Europe needs”. Together with delegation from Hungary, Czech Republic and Serbia we came up with projects that fit the reality of our countries and established to have some realizations together. International Congress 2015 This year’s IC was especially important because it represents a milestone for the next 5 years of the organization. More than 800 young leaders, Slovak delegation including, determined AIESEC 2020 ambition. From now “We are a Youth Leadership movement that is shaping what we do around what the world needs; grows disruptively and is accessible to everyone everywhere.” Tomas, the current MCP of AIESEC in Slovakia, was part of the ambition 2020 core consolidation team which means that he, together with other 6 people, summed up all the inputs IC delegation gave for the creation of this vision.

The world of work (and the world in general) is changing. People are living longer, new technologies are emerging and we have never been more globally connected. That means the skills we use now in the workplace are not necessarily the skills we will need in the future. To get a sense of what skills you might want to start investing your time into developing, check out the info graphic .

The Skills of 2020 and Changing Leadership

AIESEC with other organizations also wanted to identify some of the top skills young people were wanting to develop today, and our YouthSpeak survey with 25,000 millennial respondents showed that leadership / team management, new languages, critical thinking and problem solving skills were still the most – in demand to help them get ahead over the next few year.

We have only few topics being discussed nowadays as immigrants, conflicts in

Ukraine or financial crisis in Spain, Greece and so. Because of this we decided to

share with you experience of some interns in these countries and their personal

experience with that.

Ukraine, a country discussed recently very ohen but I was not afraid to choose exactly this country as a place for my internship. Traveling to Kiev, the capital city of Ukraine, was not accidental. I had been in Kiev before and that was the reason me choosing this place. Kiev is really beauTful. This city offers many a>racTve places for tourist for spending their free Tme. Historic monuments, churches, beauTful nature are worth to see and entrance fee is really friendly. Ukrainians are very patrioTc ciTzens. I had a chance to be a part of the celebraTon of Independence Day. I can not describe the joy and pride that sparkle in their faces while singing naTonal anthem. On the other hand, I was surprised by the inaccessibility and distance they held from foreigners. It was rare to meet somebody who speaks English even Kiev is a capital city with many foreign people. But this was no obstacle and they were always keen to help. The quesTon of immigrants is recently menTon very ohen but this quesTon is not important for Ukrainian. Almost everyone wears Ukrainian symbol of freedom as a sign of support and solidarity thinking about the conflicts on the east of the country.

Egypt is safe, warm , and one of the cheapest countries .. EgypTan people are very welcoming and kind to tourists . If you are afraid about if the country is not stable so we had a new president two years ago and no more revoluTon this days -‐ it's very stable this days. You can stay in places like hurhgada , sharm el shiekh , dahab , ras shitan if you are interested in places near the sea side and you would love to have diving , snorkeling , and swim with dolphins. I also advice you not to stay all the Tme at sea side and see the other side of Egypt by visiTng Cairo and Alexandria or going to Luxor and Aswan. Egypt is so big so you have a lot of opTons and if you are planning to save money it's be>er rent a house. It's cheaper than staying in some hotels and also food prices are very cheap. Some places are on the desert so you can have camps and sand boarding , so a lot of opTons are available and the choice is yours. If you're sTll not sure about how safe is Egypt now you can watch hashtags #hurghada #sharmelsheikh on instagram or Facebook and see how are people enjoying their Tme .
