Get Ready 2011

Shortly after the Local Motivation Seminar LMS’11, AIESEC University has participated to the first annually national seminar, The Get Ready’11, which was marked this year with a huge participation from the other 8 Local Committees in Tunisia and an Algerian Delegation: the total number of participants was over 700! Something never seen in AIESEC Tunisia so far.

On site, after the Roll-Colls, the introduction of the Chair and the Facilitators’ team, the sessions of hard work started: there was very much to do and little time. The sessions were centered on the personal development, self-improvement and involvement in the community for the new members, for the oldies a parallel agenda was programed to deepen their training and discussions were held over many technical issues like conflict management and emotional intelligence.

AIESEC University participated in the event with over 80 delegates who represented well their Local Committee during the workshops and in terms of discipline and assiduity, the seminar was also a good occasion for the members to know each other better and establish a good team spirit that we hope will last even after this mandate.

What marked the event was a simulation during the stress management course for the Newbies where the Faci team simulated a very stressful situation: a military takeover in the country, the least that we could say is that the participants had to learn how to manage their stress the hard way! And it was a very useful initiative, because during the closing day, bad weather conditions and flooding made it impossible for the majority of the participants to go home, so they had to stay an extra night in the hotel, and despite the relatively bad conditions, the AIESECers managed to spend it in a good atmosphere.
