Updates
Review of the BBQ - The week before the fall semester started, we had our first
LC event, a BBQ, in the office. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side, but we
made the best out of it and the evening turned out to be super fun. Too bad that only a
few members from LC ZH showed up, but there were many interns and members from
other LC’s contributing to a successful night. Here some impressions from the BBQ.

Recruitment – The recruitment team is giving it’s best to do as much promo for
AIESEC as possible. And they’re doing a great job! They were present with an eye-catching
stand and a blue-man during freshman days and still will be during the first weeks of
university. Furthermore there are several info-events taking place to inform anyone
interested about our offerings. You should take some time and pass by one of our info
stands, it’s worth it! See you there ;)
OGX promo – As the semester begins, the teams start to spend more time together to
work on their projects. Therefore the OGX-Team is already in the middle of OGX-promo-
preparation. The team is working on new promotion ideas, flyers and posters. After many
brainstorming sessions they’re approximating the final product. So be curious about what
they’ve come up with and let yourself be seduced by the idea of going on an internship
abroad with AIESEC!

Rusa’s GCDP experience
Rusa, a current Member of AIESEC ZH, took the opportunity and went on a GCDP in Mauritius during summer-break. Are you wondering if she enjoyed it and had a good time? Read for yourself…
-What country did you go to and what did you do there?
Rusa: I went to Mauritius and my job there was delivering sessions on the topics of entrepreneurship, leadership and self-discovery. The audience was students in University of Mauritius.
-Were there any cultural shocks at the beginning?
Rusa: The first day was really shocking for me, because I had imagined a place more developed because Mauritius is known as a touristic island. But the life in the cities made me feel like I was in India.
-What would you say was the most unforgettable part of your experience?
Rusa: One day after work we went to the beach for BBQ and we decided to sleep there. We set a fire and spent the night on the beach all together. It was so much fun and an unforgettable experience for me.
-What were the things that didn't turned out so well/ didn't work?
Rusa: At first the housing was a very big problem: we didn’t have any warm water to take a shower. And despite the fact that we had to work on our presentations we didn’t have any Internet in the house, so we had to walk for around 40 min to go to a library to get some wifi in order to work. But all those problems were fixed in 15 days and so I could enjoy the rest of my stay.
-Would you recommend it to others? And would you do it again?
Rusa: I would definitely recommend this project to everyone. Despite some difficulties, I enjoyed the time in Mauritius with so many nice people from different countries. I had a big chance to meet people from India, Pakistan, Egypt, Kyrgyzstan, Indonesia and more. I don’t think I would have had the opportunity to get to meet people from those countries if I hadn’t joined this project. It was very exciting for me and I will never forget about it.
And I am sure everyone would like this beautiful island with its wonderful beaches and friendly people. This project was a great experience for me and I plan to join another GCDP for next summer.
