Supermen/women saving the world
How do you recognise a Superhero?When I met the members of the fam-
ous Committee on Gender Equality for
the first time, I would not have guessed
their secret identity. Teambuilding
however soon revealed Arianne's,
Christina's, Nadine's, Michaels, Lukas',
Viktoria's, Erdem's, Larissa's, Carla's,
Max's, Batuhan's and Benedikt's hidden
abilities when our exceptional Chair
Kati asked us to practise using our cov-
er identities and to tell each other about
ourselves. These abilities only became
more apparent as we continued with
tasks like acting out the word “gender
equality”, creating a committee flag
with a twist and discussing the Abigail
game.
The next day, having spent a wonderful
evening eating, drinking, getting to
know all the Committees and having a
party at Eurovillage, FEMM planned
their detailed approach to balancing
gender equality and religious ideals.
They really impressed me with their
very broad preparation and, more than
once, with a refreshingly unusual and
new point of view. Sometimes German
words unintentionally slipped in (“We
are missing a Schrägstrich”) and added
quite a lot of fun moments to the other-
wise very determined discussion.
General Assembly unfortunately didn't
go so well for my favorite Committee.
However, exactly like with chopped off
hands from the ninja game, burns from
the hauduken-attack while playing
streetfighter or time-bombs disguised
as mask tape going off, this could not
stop FEMM and they did not give up
when their resolution was turned down.
With their experience from GA, they
have now come up with a new ambi-
tious project in fruitful cooperation
with our Project Partner representative,
Pia, and I have high hopes that this
time they will succeed.
At the end of this Forum, I really hope
that you, FEMM, enjoyed this time in
Wiesbaden as much as I did. I wish you
the very very best and hope to see you
again soon!
