From 14th till 18th November I was together with Matthias and Antonio to the CEP in Warsaw.
Our trip didn't start so well because our flight was cancelled and we were stuck in Charleroi airport at midnight! Fortunately we had the great idea of  renting a car and coming back to Brussels, so finally the next day we were finally able to reach Warsaw.
We arrived there and the first day we had the opportunity to go around the city and look at the very cosy (even if rebuild after the war) old city centre of Warsaw.

At the end of November I was in Vilnius invited by Koen Geven, the president of ESU (European Students Union) to follow the seminar on gender equality and thet the General Assembly of ESU in Vilnius.
The seminar was very interesting and I had the opportunity of knowing how ESU works, and they really work hard! Even plenaries after dinner and at night! But very professional. I got many interesting ideas about gender equality, something we are not addressing in ESN, but it could worthwhile to give at least a brief overview.

The Third Bocconi Fund-raising Conference in Milano was an amazing experience.
20 ESNrs from different countries meet in Milano for 4 days to follow three days of lectures in Università Bocconi about Fund-raising and Marketing for no-profit association.
The first day professor Alex Turrini gave us a basic overview of Fund-raising concepts, focusing especially on on-line fund-raising strategies.
In the second day, Christiane Roth introduced us the basic features of marketing and how to build a marketing plan.

Looking at the bright sight, I can finally take my time and think at what is going on around me.

Hello everybody!

We have just finished our August Board meeting in Brussels, at 20:18!!!

It was a long one becuase we finally did the complete budget of the association and it took us almost one full day! But now everything is clear and we can relax a little bit!
