On 3th of Dec 2010 10 brave participants from 4 country who were not afraid of polish winter and came to snowy pearl of East Poland - Lublin to celebrate 25th Birthday. On opening ceremony except the introduction to AEGEE we were talking about its history. "Get caught in a net of cultural diversity" was the main topic of this event, so we started to get knowing other cultures with European Night in polish style - at flat - in home conditions :)
I don't mention about first party which lasted till dawn. Because of it next morning was really challenged for all of us -we coped with it and after short city tour we took part in very interesting workshop "Building a multinational team via the Internet" lead by former NetComissioner - Marek Urban.
Another day - another workshop. This time participants got know about "Interpersonal skills in a multicultural background". Everybody was interested in how to act effectively and to communicate in the multicultural environment like organizing aegee project! When workshop finished Artur from AEGEE-Warszawa made performance and our birthday guests after this short lesson tried their skills in ... jugglery! In the morning, city games helped all participants to get to know a lot of mysterious legends and at evening we showed beauty of Lublin by night.
On the last day participants could take some breath to join in winter activities like snow fights or sleigh riding! This day was special Saint Nicholas Day in Poland, so before starting of birthday party Santa Claus came to us and gave a lot of gifts - sweet candies and shirts of AEGEE25!
Yes, AEGEE-25 participants really got caught in a net of cultural diversity after this wonderful 5days!
