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.

Tu'nisian Leadership Developement Seminar 2011 (Tu'LDS 2011)

Tu’LDS 2011 was the last national seminar for this term it was also a great one so we thought that there is no bettre way to show you that than to have testimonies from people who assisted to the conference and contributed to its success as facilitator or as delegate.

First of all we start with Ghassen Dridi, National Information Management and Alumni Relations Manager:

"TuLDS 2011 was my last seminar after years of being an active member of AIESEC in Tunisia. We tried as facilitator team to deliver the right message to our audience composed by AIESEC and non AIESEC members in these special circumstances Tunisia is leaving.
After years of starting the Tunisian Leadership Development Seminar, AIESEC in Tunisia chose the slogan " Act Now" to the 2011 edition.
We hope to see the impact of this seminar and of our whole process on the current youth generation."

We also received a word from the algerian delagation that we wanted to share with you:

"Here comes the end of an amazing adventure, once upon a time an Algerian delegation went to Bizerte to attend the Tunisian Leadership Development Seminar2011.
For the third time we are present at the Tu’LDS, as we exist only since 2008 we didn’t miss any of them and we are so happy to see each time the number of delegates increasing and the welcoming being more friendly.
This was the first international conference for many of our members and newbie’s and that couldn’t be better such an amazing team who did the best job ever to organize such an event, unforgettable moments, excellent participants , and so skilled FACI’s, well organized in an international atmosphere we wonder if it could never last. No better place to discover the leadership, develop our communication skills, being part of a multi cultural team.
Now back home we are all full of energy, motivation and commitment and ready to take our position and leadership roles and start working effectively for a better tomorrow.
Once again congratulations to AIESEC Tunisia , especially LC University for the huge efforts made to make it happen we won a lot even if we are already missing you all we keep thinking about next time we’ll meet.
Get ready is not too far when we think about it :)
Greeting from Algeria"

We also received a testimony form Fatma Toumi, LC Bardo:

"Tu’LDS 2011 wasn’t my first national conference but it was the one which had the deepest impact on me. The sessions during the first 2 days were too long to get all my attention but in the last 2 days, the chair of the conference told us that we will find solutions for two of our partners. And when I said “we” I meant AIESECers as students, we were asked to help the society with our creativity. Isn’t it one of the definitions of a change agent ? we said “AIESEC is people” it means AIESEC is a network of people. But there, in the Tu’LDS, we were building a network of changing agents and some of them had a beautiful vision of our world and they wanted us to follow them. Those leaders will lead this network of changing agents to make the world better. And one of the various way to make all this happen is to attend the Tu’LDS."

Finaly we want to thank everyone who contibuted to make Tu'LDS 2011 such a great seminar and thanks to Ghassen, Fatma and of course the Algerian delagation !

Hope to see all of you In Get Ready 2011 !!

Get Ready 2010

For three days, over 500 Tunisian AIESECers were attending the second National conference of AIESEC in Tunisia for this year and the first for the Newbies which is "Get Ready 2010" that was hosted in the Monastir ( a Tunisian City ) the 5th, 6th and 7th of November.

Notice that the "Get Ready" is the biggest AIESEC Conference in the Middle East and North Africa region and one of the most important the fact that it attracts more and more foreign Facis and delegates and the important content of its sessions.

This year, the "Get Ready" was exceptional with the record number of AIESECers that was attending the conference which for the first time reached the 500 delegates with a participation of an Algerian delegation.

The topic of the "Get Ready 2010" was inspired from cinema with a rich agenda full of sessions with titles inspired from great films like: Gladiator, The Coach, Fight Club, I'm Legend, Brave Heart...

Get Ready 2010 met the expectations with various sessions focusing on the motivation and the potential exploration for the Newbies that are the AIESEC in Tunisia future and the development of the oldies, Executive Boards (EB) and Local Committee Presidents (LCP).


As every year, LC University was present with a delegation composed of over 60 delegates of new members, EB, responsibles and oldies.
And as usual our LC was not just there to be present as everyone does but it was there to create an additional value, to share experience and to be the voice of a new generation full of energy and ambitions.

Our members was really a model to follow with their commitment, engagement and with their astonishing capacity to learn from their mistakes very quickly.

The excellence of our members was testified by the Chair of the "Get Ready 2010" who said in a session: "Today you played very well LC University!!" after the remarkable participation of University's New Members.

Finally, the "Get Ready 2010" was an occasion to discover the new talents of AIESEC in Tunisia and to see our Newbies growing and confirming their ilimited potential.

Now we think really that they are ready now to move to the next stage which will be the turning point of their lives, this new journey is begining this Saturday in our first LC Meeting which will be crucial for everyone.
