few hours spent in a children's house

On Saturday, we went to a children's house in Dolni Pocernice.
It was interesting, exciting, strange at the same time.

3 years ago, I used to go to a children's club that situated in Pardubice and offering free time activities for gypsy kids. That was quite unique experience, just to play, sing, dance with kids aged 5-15. It has opened a lot my eyes about this community and helped me understand at least a bit their perception of living.

This Saturday, it was a bit similar, although these kids are from "different world". You know, now you stand in front of young guys aged 5-17, who live in children's house, who have different reasons for being there. You offer them something, they accept it "their" way...soon you find out, if meeting these guys just somewhere in a city, you would not say they were raised up in a children's house.

Going there, it might be a big clash with "reality" for those who have expectations and prejudices.
Going there, it might bring you to thinking of "why?" related with anything.
Going there, it might be an unusual day spent outside of Prague.

For me personally, it was just a new input to think of my role in the community I live in.

PS: We took some pix there, as well. My role was to teach some of them taking a picture. You see some of the funny results in the slide show. I like it! ;-)

Super Star - Second round comin' soon...

Song of the week #3: Meredith Brooks - Bitch

CEEMOS 2007, Pärnu - facilitating

It was February 2007, the city called Pärnu, 20 facilitators, 2 conference managers, 2 chairs, 2 agendas and about 200 delegates in one place, hotel Strand. There run 2 conferences at the same time, CEEMOS and CEELDS.

I was one of facilitators for CEE conference called CEEMOS 2007 (Central and Eastern Europe motivation seminar). On faci pre-meeting (Fri-Sun) in Tallinn, we got to know each other in the faci team and got in the "conference mood". We even created new AIESEC dance (music Shaft - Mucho mambo) in 30 minutes, dudes!

Delegates gathered from 16 countries from whole CEE region, had the chance to present their culture in Tallinn at public global village in Viru Shopping Centre. After moving to the venue of both conferences in Pärnu, the conference started.



What was it about?

• 10 facis for CEEMOS (Austria, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Hungary/Canada, Poland, Estonia, Sweden)
• Emma Gävert as chair and Kaisa Tikk as conference manager
• OC organising CEEMOS and CEELDS at the same time in one venue

• 100 delegates (mainly in autumn 2006 recruited AIESEC members)

• 

• my home group, dedicated to Sir Francis Drake, rocked the house with our energetic shout

• time for challenging the world view when meeting people from various countries, sharing ideas, rooms, living the international aspect under one roof

having faci meeting late night one day

• making lots of fun as faci team with delegates (sketches, wish box, Freaky Riki, AIESEC dances)
  

• me as the real Czech ice-breaker ;-)

• change agents' awards

• Estonian night and "The Sun" performance in the night club

• official dinner in a fancy place with tasty food to consume

• danced through, after global village, on the table (totally smashed!)

• room parties, 1 minute speaches, IPM running in Egypt

• CEEMOS - Chooh, Chooh!

• boat race (topalky) winner together with Merlin and Marek from Poland ("Češi - Polska!")

• meeting again some Baltics people after ENERGY

• externals involved (E-Day, Aivar Haller, Derek Small)

• Nordic circle with Derek Small

• snow all around, average temperature around 20 degrees under

• free hugs

Just time will show us, if all resources, time and energy
put in CEEMOS 2007 will bring its success . . .

. . . something tells me it will!

Tallinn in 12 hours

It takes just 2 hours to reach Tallinn by plane from Prague. I left the airport in the morning and had lunch already in the capital of Estonia, Tallinn. Margeri and Mati, who picked me up in Tallin together with Deni (BUL), took us to AIESEC Estonia MC flat. For me it was the third time I had the chance to meet Herdis, my flummi friend.

In the evening, there arrived Anya, girl I got to know in Ukraine in 2006, and the next day we went together to explore the City centre. Although not planned, we spent in there 12 hours, walking, taking some rest in cafés, talking, taking pix, etc.

When reaching the old town city walls, we had the chance to buy some knit clothes (me purchasing cotton pair of socks and gloves), then moving to the building of Estonian Parliament, passing Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and St. Olav's church, reaching the 2 main view platforms.

As during the 12 days I spent in Estonia, my second day, when sightseeing, was the coldest one there! The average temperature during the day in this year season is 25-20 degrees under, so it means... freaky cold, man!

The final point to be reached that day was Tallinn harbour. We just entered the entrance hall, saw two ferries, turned around finding out we do not have enough time for moving to Helsinki and continued to another café in the centre :-)

In the evening there came Niki (Austria) and Mena (CZE), we managed to run through the Old City again, now it was pretty dark and ended in real Russian pub!

Was nice to see at least Old City of Tallinn, where old, Soviet and business world meets on just 160 square kms. One point to be mentioned is the knowledge of English language in the public, when compared with Prague, I was quite astonished how many people are able to talk in English and in Russian, too. Easy to get back on the track if being lost ;-)
Moving back to MC flat with "trolley bus" before midnight, we found out (women)drivers there are really multi task oriented!
