I uploaded here a video from Mojco, who is the LCP of AIESEC Zlin. In this video his sharing couple of thoughts/experiences with us. I wanted to upload it here so we could remember it :) Zlin is similar to Pärnu and I believe that they are a good role model for us.
As a small AIESEC local committee our size gives us both the advantage and challenge to prove ourselves daily. I guess its up to us to decide will it be a bonus or not. This year the heat is hotter than ever - we have firmly written down our goal to become an local committee. We have defined the steps that will take us there. We have the people - our members.
Who doesn't know, Pärnu is still an initiative group and we don't have the rights that a local committee has.
At first I wanted to write: "LCPs of the world". But then I thought that non-aieseccars won't know what that means. And for a headline its too long to write "Local Committee Presidents of the World". So the outcome is: Leaders of the World.
And you know what, guys - thats who we are! We are the leaders of the world. Not in ten years, not after we finish with AIESEC - we are it t o d a y. If you think about it, its logical.
Throughout this conference we have heard from different speakers how important it is to activate the local environment, to have the people, who will execute the things in their society. Its easy to write a big check but in the end, its no use, if you can't find the right channels to use the money. For example: billions of dollars are given to HIV/AIDS, but the money isn't doing what it should be doing. And that is so because they don't have the right channel.
Dear LCP's, we lead those right channels. We are responsible of changing our society today by the projects our LC leads. It doesn't matter that much if there is a learning environment around it or not. What matters is that our projects, our message, our events are communicating the right message, are bringing here the people, who make the change in the companies or schools or in whatever place you target your project.
Your proud and honored teammate, LCP of AIESEC Pärnu

I planned to write something much different, but I'll leave it to some other time :)
