NWM Poznań – Share Your secret. AEGEE Know-how!

NWM Poznań – Share Your secret AEGEE Know-how was first in the history

new, bigger awareness of who we are, what we can do and how strong youth is.

Team of young, ambitious people from Poznań, NetComs, trainers and mentors

of open spaces took care to make this event unforgettable. During NWM around

150 people from over 40 locals and 15 countries were debating, talking about

serious issues and learning new, useful skills. For sure it will have an strong

influence on their future activities as AEGEE member and on organization itself.

Besides substantive part of the event there was also social part, about which

took care AEGEE-Poznań. Participants have visited historical Browar Poznański

and seen how young people in capital of Wielkopolska have fun.

Description of workshop's

Know-how Path

1. Market Analysis (2 slots) Trainer: Marcin Fijoł

Even the best strategy appears sometimes to be mistaken, it all depends on the

market analysis quality, as it’s market what verifies how the company’s business

goals based on strategy are being achieved, which aren’t. The market

communicates which areas are worth investing, also gives hints where

prospective market niches are. The major challenge for entrepreneur is to have

ability to read the market but read it with complete understanding. The

workshop will deliver you the basic knowledge of how to introduce new ideas on

the market to avoid failure and build own market advantage by proper market

analysis.

2. Creative Tubes (2 slots) Trainer: Grzegorz Olifirowicz

Have you always wanted to start a new business, but haven’t got any idea what

to do? Are you a hard-working person, yet lacking in creativity? Or maybe your

creative mind gets you to places you don’t want to be? If you answered ‘yes’ to

any of these questions, then this workshop is perfect for you! We’re going to deal

with creativity but in a very practical aspect. We will discuss and merge ideas in

order to create business concepts worth millions. We’re going to create start-ups

on the basis of the conceptual/cognitive tool called “Creative Tubes”, which is a

very interactive tool so it involves everybody for active participation.

Dare to face the Tube? The whole workshop is also gamified, so it looks like a

game in order to enhance your creativity.

I am pretty sure that the outcome of Creative Tubes workshop will be several

great ideas. What will you do with them later? That depends on you

Adventure Path

1. Live your dream! Trainer: Jakub Michałowicz

“The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step” – Lao Tzu. The

story of an adventurous soul that successfully managed to combined his passion

for travel with corporate business, and continue to live his dream! Turning

points, planning and challenges one have to face to discover new Oceans!

2. Improvisational theatre workshop Trainer: Paweł Pieniążek

Impro workshop (improvisational theatre workshop) – based on Theatre Sports

stage format by the British educator, playwright, actor and theatre director, Keith

Johnstone (http://www.keithjohnstone.com/).

The program of the workshop is comprised of a number of group exercises

aimed at improving or perfecting specific abilities and a presentation of a few of

simple short forms of improvisation. The above mentioned abilities include:

observation, association, history telling, building characters, body animation. So-

called side effects of the exercises list not only greatly improved self-confidence,

expansion of your comfort zone, quicker initiative taking in a group of people,

more creativity, repartee but also simply great fun.

Disclaimer! Impro workshop by Pawel Pieniazek, from Inicjatywa Fruuu may

irreversibly alter your personality and the way you see the world!

3. Traveling? Yes we can! Trainer: Jakub Staniszewski

Everyone can travel! Only thing you need is courage to do the first step – that’s

the idea standing behind this workshop. If you think you can’t afford your

dreams about far journeys this workshop is about to prove you are wrong. If you

are eager to learn how to travel on low-budget, if you wish to test yourself in

unexpected, travel circumstances, if you want to share your travel experience –

feel invited!

Enterprise Path

1. Assessment Center Trainer: Adam Samorek

How to survive and success thanks to the NGO’s experience. Use your

experience in AEGEE to get your dream job.

2. Profit from non-profit Trainer: Mikołaj Dramowicz

Usage of the knowledge acquired by student's organizations in professional life.

Participants learn about advantages of being involved in overschedule activities

on university in terms of looking for and gaining work. They will also check in

what way they can transform acquired knowledge and skills in business benefits.

European Path

1. Future of Europe Trainer: UAM lecturer

Open discussion, which main topic was the future of Europe and European

Union and the role of young people in the developing process.

2. Actions of EU for Youth Trainer: Natalia Krzyżan

Nowadays in times of open Europe, it is important to know how to use given

opportunities. Can I work in foreign EU country? How to start my business in EU?

How to find scholarship? Can I study abroad? For this and many other questions

you will find answers during our workshop.

3. Nationalism Trainer: Thomas Leszke

We, AEGEE members, are unlikely to be nationalists. Yet, to many of us,

nationalist attitudes are closer than we think. Because of course we do have

national identities, and the line between „having a national identity” and „being a

nationalist” is very thin indeed. This is only logical, because most identities (and

certainly national identity) are based on social exclusion. But it is dangerous,

because we may often not realize that our feeling of attachment towards our

home country may lead us to opinions that are discriminatory, unjust, and even

in conflict with human rights.

That is why it is very important to understand what nationalism is, and see how

we can protect and cultivate our national identities without getting into ethical

trouble.

4. Policy and advocacy Trainer: Beata Matuszka

Workshop held by Beata Matuszka which main aim was to bring the main theme

closer to the participants and analyze their opinions in this subject.

A lot of people don’t believe that is possible to travel with so low prices

make a huge promotions to explain every detail.

Investigating which are the passions or hobbies of potential members and

suggesting them to following it within AEGEE.

So recruitment can depend not only from the local but also from the

environment like university?

In Poland the common idea about NGOs is that once you join it you are

obliged to work a lot for it.

How do you do recruitment? How and why did you join AEGEE?

Announcing it in the website and making promotions at the University

usually focused to Erasmus students.

After participating to an AEGEE event I wanted to be more active and help

my local.

I was invited to take part to a meeting and after I decided to join AEGEE.

I wanted to do something more than studying and my plan was to meet

different organizations to have more choose. AEGEE impressed me more

than the others with its main aim and now I feel the association to belongs

to me.

Invited by a friend to take part to a meeting and after it I decided to join

the local. Everybody goes to meetings only if they already know someone

and for this reason is important to catch group of friends.

Because of the AEGEE spirit.

I joined AEGEE after the SU and I think that is the best moment to catch

members because everybody come back from the SU with another spirit.

It should be a good idea during the SU to integrate a session about AEGEE

during the event.

I started to being an active member of the local after the experience as

organizer of the Summer University

I was surprised by the great presentation that the board made. They

dressed like stuarts and gave us some fliers about SU that were looking as

flight tickets..

Do you focus your recruitment during SU period or beginning of the

academic year?

Whenever is possible to do it. We also use other activities, as flash mobs,

to spread the voice about or local

Do you use only parties to attract people?

Unfortunately when we organize meeting to discuss about the EU political

life the participation is really low. So we try to promote AEGEE during

parties making small presentations and giving short info.

Do you have a mentorship system?

Yes we have it but our recruitment is really different. It starts every

beginning of academic year and we organize one week of event related

with AEGEE. During the event we talk with the group of student (new and

old students) showing the university and the city. After introduction we go

in camping together with the new people. The camp consist in parties and

games to make people interact each other. We create teams and make

games to let them compete and build up the team spirit.

Do you receive any help by the university?

Yes, the Dean office helps us to organize presentations in the University.

Send messages to the newsletters of the University and to student

newspapers.

How best to promote cooperation within in the network- between locals?

During the open space discussion many different types of cooperation

between locals were discussed. During the discussion it became obvious,

that one the one hand certain kind of cooperation can be found in the

whole network while other forms are specific for certain countries and

regions.

So you can assess that Summer Universities, Exchanges between locals as

well as trainer exchange for LTCs are done by almost all locals.

Specifics however can be found in the mode of fundraising, which in

Poland is often done jointly by many locals for one event. Another

example is the exchange of helpers for big statutory events like Agora,

EBM or other events. One specific furthermore is the constitutional drink

in order to visit each other after board elections between neighboring

locals that can be found in Netherlands and some polish locals.

Another big example of cooperation is the bone marrow donation in

Poland that took place in many locals simultaneously.

Exchange with funding and cultural Exchange about common culture,

works hops on culture and sports.

Regional invitation of neighboring locals weekly (have a visit Schedule for

almost every weekend).

Constitutional Drink of neighbouring antennae.

common database of Czech and Slovak locals was created.

the semester together with All Spanish and French locals.

Project- development with other locals at the LTCs, experts and trainers.

Where we should look for the fund?

It is more and more difficult to gain founds for our projects.

Everybody agreed that the best way is to gain money from grants and EU

projects, because there is a lot of them now. But this is nothing difficult

and not all of our projects which require FR are able to be connected with

thematic range of grants.

After long discussions we reached 2 conclusions:

- First are companies for who we are a target. Those for whom youth is

important, whose products are used by youth. The most often we've

mentioned names of companies producing energy drinks, clothes for

young people, instant food, yogurts, isotonic drinks.

- Moreover we concluded that strong branch of industry is energy

industry. This kind of companies used to be associated with danger or

destroying na environment and they want to have a good opinion,

especially among people who take care of an environment and we

know that there is a lot of persons like that among youth. According to

that whole heading products factories, power plants, coke plants and

fuel factories sponsor us most.

To know how far we reached.

We have to know legends of AEGEE, interesting stories from the past.

Life experience to develop local (for example Louis on agora was speaking

about hiss begging, progress, development, to be more involve, inspire

people.

To know about before projects it is easier to make the next one and not to

do the mistakes twice.

Compare past and present, you can see the way of change and it can

motivate people to know history and motivate to make some changes,

new history.

During this open space was lively discussion. Participants were giving

many great ideas. Most of them said that this is boring topic but after

debate they decided that this is very important. Why? Because we should

know our roots, it is easier to make events with experience form old

members, and with this knowledge we will not make the same mistakes

twice. Also it can help develop our local.

How we can make people interested? It was many wonderful ideas.

Beginning with movies, photos, songs, games and booklets; ending with

funny stories, the best gossips, the best/worst events and famous people

who was in AEGEE. The most interesting ideas was: making one big

database from the beginning, movie involving AEGEEans form whole

Europe, interactive games; for example, during showing movie about

AEGEE history, pause for a moment and asking people “what will happen

know? What do you think?”. Summing up, we should creating events

connected with AEGEE history because it is important, useful and also it

can be fun discover unknown paths of our local or AEGEE.

members?

SUMMARY

The main aim of the Network Meeting in Poznań was to motivate people in

AEGEE to cooporate with each other outside their part of Network (divided my

Network Commissioners).

It was the first Interregional Network Meeting (together with the NWM in Vienna

which took place the same weeked).

The idea and new solutions brought to the project (like paths and 4 days) were a

great success. People contribute, shared solutions and new ideas – some of

them are beeing implemented or are worked on (e.g. Twin Antenna between

Aachen and Warsaw, paths worshops, needs assesment, solutions to locals

problems suggested by other boards, new project concepts, flagship project

concept, new ideas to solve the biurocracy in AEGEE).

Things that should be considered when organizing next NWM:

Thematics during the Open Space panel provided by participants in a pre-

NWM formular.

Dividing Open Space panel to two sessions: disscussion/teoritical part and

solutions/practical part.

AEGEE Inspire session should be held in a difference place than the party

is taking place.

Paths with more AEGEE disscussion, less non-interactive workshops.

More time for the Boards part.

The participants should be able to choose their paths and specific

workshops regarding their experience in AEGEE.

The NWM attending point specified by the Antenna Criteria should be only

given if the local has their representatives during the majority of time.

People which want to come only to meet with friends should not be

accepted.

During the depparture day which is Sunday there should be as less

thematic slots as possible to not loose any content.
