1. ME
Ak
I’m Ania, member
of AEGEE-Warszawa.
I was President in 2010/11 and 2011/12
(on this pic you can see my last Board)
Now I’m a Chairman of Supervisory
Board.

2. I don’t want to get you bored with my application, so
to introduce myself I prepared 3 short stories.

3. But these stories will present you
something more. It will be my definition
of AEGEE. Let’s start!
What is AEGEE?

4. Chapter one

5. Everything started on the
DANCEFLOOR

6. I used to dance.
Dancefloor was a
place where I’ve felt
free, true and happy.
Dancefloor was a 10 years
almost
place where I’ve had as DANCER.
my GREATEST
SUCCESSES and my
BIGGEST FAULTS.

7. True
PASSION

8. But there were more
fields where I was
good.
After my final exams
in high school I had to
decide:
what I will do?
what I will study?

9. DANCER CHEMIST
or

10. I picked CHEMIST
Chemistry…
Next step was move to
Warsaw, and start study at
Warsaw University of
Technology.
And it wasn’t so easy. I had
40 hours per week full of
obligatory classes. Math,
Phisics, labs…
No time for DANCE…

11. True story, bro.

12. So I stared looking
for new PASSION?

13. In the same time I joined to AEGEE.
Why? Honestly? Recruitment process to
AIESEC was closed and recruitment to BEST
hasn’t started yet.
So maybe AEGEE? What is it? Why not?

14. Then, I started my
adventure there.
Adventure with people.
I took part in my first LTC,
and let’s say there
EVERYTHING STARTED…
I participated in leadership
workshop ...
During it I noticed
that I feel so happy,
so true and so good.
I felt the same as on
the dancefloor.

15. So I started working with
people and for people…
Coordinator of project: THINK PINK (monthly soft skills and artistic workshops for students) ,
3L:Learn,Love, Lead ( 4 days intensive training for youth leaders of Polish NGO), Mentoring Project in
AEGEE-Warszawa, Warsaw Ideas Factory I & II ( Strategic Planning Meeting for AEGEE-Warszawa, 2nd
edition was with my facilitation), KT for New Board
Originator of ChangeMakers' team, group which created and implemented new mission of AEGEE-
Warszawa.
Team member of: TSU AEGEE-Warszawa, AEGEE-Lublin, LTCs,
President of AEGEE-Warszawa in 2010/2011, President of AEGEE-Warszawa in 2011/2012, Chairman of

Non-AEGEE experience:

and decided that I want
to be a TRAINER!

16. EXPERIENCE!

17. BEING
A TRAINER
is my way of life.

AEGEE!

18. The best thing
in AEGEE is Decide what
that you can you
TRY LIKE

19. AND START
DO IT!

20. AEGEE is about…

21. AEGEE is about…
Passion

22. Chapter two

23. To be honest, when I joined to
AEGEE-Warszawa it was like Dino Park…
Old and experienced members still
thinking about past…

24. But I AM
energetic,
PROACTIVE

25. I want to change that
situation. I became
PRESIDENT with only 5
months experienced.

26. But after my
election we still
were kind of losers


27. I motivated myself,
I motivated my friends
to change it!

28. And the
change has
started!

29. Let me give you some numbers:
2010
Less than 20 members
2012
More than 120 members

30. Maybe you think that:
SKY is the limit?

31. I know
there is
NO
LIMITS!

32. If you want to do
something - you can!

33. AEGEE is about…

34. AEGEE is about…
Motivation

35. Chapter three

36. Active Citizenship
It’s the general mission

37. If I go to Dzikowko
turning left or right…
There could be more
than one method to
achieve mission of
AEGEE!

38. We started the CHANGE in our antenna with
forming one question:
How WE can do it?

39. And we found our own
way.

40. #1 IDEA
share your passion

41. #2 PEOPLE
be a part of a TEAM

42. #3 ACTION
Work together

43. #4 SATISFACTION
Energy

44. That is our mission statement.
That is how we work.

45. Playground to practice
Laboratory for testing
Incubator of ideas

46. Open career

47. Environment to grow

48. Training Courses
Small Grants’ system
Mentoring
AEGEE Library
Environment to grow

49. and it works.

50. AEGEE-Warszawa
is about…
YOU

51. For me
AEGEE is about…
Passion
Motivation
YOU

52. And this is my
definiton of
AEGEE!
