LCM - 16. April 2008: I like to move it, move it... :-)

Wednesday eveneing - 7pm - somewehere at the Kepler University - 17 AIESECers, 18 bottles of watter, 3 packages of chips, 1 laptop, 1 projector, 2 speakers, 1 dancefloor, a lot of information and much more fun - that was our LCM this week presented by Andi K.: :-)

Since we are aming on constantly improving our sessions, we started this LCM with feedback from our newies on our local induction. Here are some statements and suggestions:

Martin H.: "It was funny! A lot of information on one day. I really liked the party in the evening - it was great!"

Georg: "It was a long day with much information. First I had no clue about AIESEC, about its aims, its history - now i do. I liked the round-table-sessions in small groups, it's better than just having lectures."

Stefan M.:"I aggree with Georg. It was very intersting and there were a lot of things to remember. Now I have a good overview of AIESEC. It was good that we were spending the day toghter so that you get to know the ppl from our LC. Oh, and I loved the videos - they were great! *yeah* I was even about to applaud!"

Stefan Sch.:"It was a lot of input. I had a good time. It was a little bit too much though - specially at the end. The history video was overwhelming - yet it somehow created too much of respect. Since the video ist not aimed at new members, there are maybe better ways of presenting the AIESEC-history!"

Thanks to your feedback, guys!

According to the saying "sharing is caring"Andi K., Basti and myself, Karin, then talked about ILC 2008 (Iberoamerican Leaderhsip Congress) in Barcelona. ["Intense, impressive, amazing, great partners & workshps, amazing global village, fun, ..."] and showed some of our best snapshots of this conference.

In the next part, the "Opportunity-Show-Time" Andi informed us about the open positions of OCP for OPS (Organizing Committee President for Outgoing Preparation Seminar - 23.-25. May 2008 - Froschberg Hostel, Linz - about 30 delegates) and OCP for our Mensafest (15. May 2008), which will be organized in cooperation with IAESTE. If you are intersted in these positions, send an email to Peter (peter.laher@gmx.at). Just an advise from my side: Go for it! It's really a great opportunity to gain first leadership-experience and to work in a team! :-)

After that Andi announced the teams for this semester:
TM - Andreas K. (TL), Gerlind, Nicole, Martin Helm
ER - Andreas E. (coach), Sebastian (TL), Elisabeth, Franz Josef, Josef, Hans-Martin, Mikel
Finance - Serife (superviser), Alex E., Julia
Comm. & IS - Karin (TL), Manuela, Marlene, Stefan M., Stefan Sch., Verena
Exchange - Alex St., Barbara, Georg
Special Forces Commander - Taras ;-)

After all this informative input it was time for the crazy part: SHOUT COMPETITION & DANCING!!! :-) Yep, right - we were not just having lectures at this LCM but we were also singing and shaking our asses! ;-)

Unfortuantely, you guys hadn't really made up your mind to create a new LC-shout! Honestly, that was a little bit disappointing! :-( Only Stefan M. as well as Andi K. and me did come up with something that was close to being a shout. While Stefan's "shout" was lacking of energy and passion - according to Taras the word "fucking" was missing - Andi's and mine (holadaria) was way too long! To sum it up: A shout has to be passionate, crazy, innovative, short yet powerful and easy to remember - the last aspect is very essential, especially when your are trying to yell this shout at a party at 4 in the morning! :-)

What was not disappointing at all was how you guys were rocking the dance-floor! Damn you are all really great dancers and fast learners! :-) Thanks to your dancing master Andi K. (and thanks to the MCP of Germany), we have now a brand new, really awesome role-call...I like to move it, move it! *yeah*...Damn, we will rock the dancefloor at Future II, that's for sure! Just in case you don't remember the moves, you find them online on our Wiki.

Since this dancing-lesson was quite exhausting, we all went to LUI for having some drinks afterwards. Here are some impressions of the socializing-part:

Alex E. & Andi K.- our dancing instructor, you did a great job! :-) & Nicole

our crazy P named Peter & our succsessful Discovery-OCP & Georg & Antigone & Martin H.

Stefan Sch. & Josef - obviously having a serious conversation

I luv that picture: Nicole & Manuela

Antigone & Martin H. & (Model-)Martin ;-) & Special Forces Commander Taras - wsup man?

So, that's it from my side...oh, don't forget the "homework" - create a unique shout for our LC! Remember, the winner will receive a nice award at Future II! :-)...See you at our next LCM! Take care! :-)
