I’m proud to present you our first Local Newslet-ter!!

Hopefully, you will en-joy reading what we’ve done so far and get mo-tivated while doing it, since we did a lot!

It’s been just one month since since our LC has got a new reinforce-ment, but as I said, great deeds are already done.

We have new projects, TN takers, media partners, we were on

WLDC, had some parties and so on..

So, let’s start...

16.11.

It must have been weird

(but still flattering) to be

greeted with ovations, but

our new AIESEC Zagreb

members, definitely de-

served it! 22 new mem-

bers were introduced to

our weekly LC meeting

on 16th of November. As

usual, on that occasion we

set some expectations and

those are as noted: mee-

tings duration of max

1.5h, pleasant atmosphere,

critics, freedom of speech.

Additionally, we got in-

troduced with LC trac-

king tool, my.aiesec.net

(how to fill out a profile

and get an e-mail ad-

dress), our functional

teams, TNČ, WLDC and

other local, national and

international conferen-

ces.

23.11.

We had a special guest

from Portugal visiting.

He was an ERASMUS

student with a previous

AIESEC experience. He

shared his AIESEC story

with a definite statement

that he’s rejoining

AIESEC as soon as he

gets home. Message he

shared about AIESEC

was clear.

WLDC was moving clos-

er at that time, so part of

that meeting was about

choosing a T-shirt design.

(as a WLDC delegate, I

can assure you that ours

were one of the best).

Our LCP shared his expe-

rience of EuroCo. He de-

livered a message from

PAI to LC Zagreb that

was something like: „ It's

all about us, working on

ourselves! You can chan-

ge yourself, if you want

to!“

Short update from LC meetings

As you can see on the

left, every functional

team got into it pretty

seriously.

Allegedly, EB’s roll call

won. (AN: I’ve heard

that there has been some

lobbying in the train to

Orahovica when it was

decided.)

TNČ and ROLL CALL contest

Traditionally, new mem-

bers organize a party, so-

called TNČ. This year,

new members did a great

job. It was held in a bar

Kiwi. Party was (almost)

wild!

Second thing of great

importance is ROLL

CALL. Since WLDC

was close at that time,

we had to decide what

should we do, hence the

roll call in party agenda.

And we supposedly have a

winner! :D

16.12.

We had a special guests

on the meeting. Our

alumni I. Rakamarić

shared her 10 years

long AIESEC story

with us.

Also we voted for our

team building program-

me and got a WLDC

update.

30.11.

After we’d got a Com-

pendium and Brand Exp

education, our LCP in-

formed us that we had

been recognised by

CEE in their newsletter

for good fall recruit-

ment and more than

120 applicants for

TMP.

we were true AIESEC-

ers there — passionate,

devoted, willing to learn

while socializing/

hooking up and partying

all night.

and common share of the

AIESEC vision that happe-

ned there to us. Even thou-

gh he didn’t get elected,

we must be proud of him

for showing the will and

courage to take that big

We received a special an-

nouncement from our

LCP during WLDC: He is

running for MCP !

Probably, it has something

to do with that motivation

WLDC 2012.

Our LCP goes MCP candidate

WLDC awards

So, the story goes like

this. An intern named

Mariana Curvo came to

Osijek to do an in-

ternship. Mariana also

visited Varaždin during

her stay in Croatia and

AIESEC Varaždin made

a shout which goes like

this: “xy: Kad ja kažem

Marijana, vi kažete Kur-

vo. xy: Marijana, all:

Kurvo, xy: Marijana, all:

Kurvo, xy: Marijaaaaaa-

naaaa, all: Kurvoooo!”

It was far most popular

shout during WLDC!

Everybody shouted from

the top of their lungs and

our chairs seemed

extraordinarily amused

by it.

Since nobody came up

with a better idea, it just

stuck. There were some

attempts of modifying it

(“Kad ja kažem AIE-

SEC, vi kažete Hrvats-

ka), but it didn’t work as

planned (we yelled Kur-

vo instead Croatia)

Regardless of the fact that

you all know, it shouldn’t be

left unmentioned here that

we got 4 out of 6 awards on

WLDC Gala night:

Best member recruitment,

Best EP recruitment,

I decided not to use our pre-

cious time, both mine and

yours, to write a long argu-

ment essay about how

WLDC 2012. was one of the

best and how it’s absolutely

recommended participating

in a conference like that, just

to refill your batteries and

keep your spirits high.

Many of you told me that the

best thing that happened

there was the AIESEC Za-

greb rejoinder and I person-

ally share your opinion.

Maybe some of the other

delegates form Croatia will

say that we were a nerdy LC

‘cause of our hard work

there, focused participa-

tion on sessions, etc., but

one has to admit —

Nevertheless, AIESEC in

Croatia is surely in good

hands —Dženita Džindo is

our new MCP elect!

Good luck Dženita!!

Congrats to Leo, Leon

and Recruitment team!

Keep up the good

work!

and our LCP and VP

OGX as the Best team

leaders.

What to say except:

“We rock!!”

And this issue recognition goes to our Projects team..

AIESEC Zagreb Projects team

has made an impressive start by

now..

They managed to raise 6 TN ta-

kers (Dječja Bolnica Srebrnjak,

Dječji dom Laduč, udruga ZA-

MISLI, Udruga invalida rada Za-

greba, SOS Dječje selo Hrvatska

i Planet zemlja) for 4 projects

(No borders, Joy patrol, EDU-

COSI—znanjem do cilja and a

national ecological project), and

in the collaboration with Finance

Team, send it to Grad Zagreb bid

for funding.

At the very end I want to wish you all

Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

Issue no. 2 is coming in a month.. Until than,

lots of kisses from your PR&MKT Coordina-

tor and take care!

A word from our lovely LCP:

Dear AIESEC Zagreb,

As we are stepping in 2013. I think about 2012.,

and I can't hide my happiness and pride when I see

our growth, and when I see

the big things, that our small IG soon to be LC achie-

ved. We created a healthy fundament for the organisa-

tion

in our city. And I am really excited about AIESEC

Zagreb 2013 , beacuse

I believe that this will be the year of the final come-

back of AIESEC in Zagreb.

As I said, we created a healthy fundament, and by

that I mean OUR MEMBERS,

they are people who are really passionate about the

work and energy

they are investing in AIESEC.

I hope that more and more members will start to share

the passion, beacuse this

is the only way we can achieve our goals and grow

fast and sustainable.

Dear members of AIESEC Zagreb I wish you a happy

new 2013. year.
