Yesterday, 21st August, IC 2007 finally started with three big events which delivered a lot of joy and emotions to Polish delegation. Living Diversity and Enjoying Participation were two most experienced AIESEC values by all IC participants.
The day started with Opening Plenary which took place in main plenary room in the venue. Can you imagine guys 3 hours completely full of country roll calls? I'm sure you can't as you only can if you experienced it! 100 countries, roll calls, excitement, energy, AI 2007/2008, facilitators - really lot of stuff and thoughts crossing through our heads during one second. We were also able to meet Chair of IC 2007 who is Pita - really familiar with AIESEC as he was PAI in 2003/2004. For sure you will ask what was Polish delegation roll call? We danced national dance called krakowiak. It's cool that Polish people from foreign MCs supported us as well:)
Later on we moved to Istanbul city center for a Global Village. It took place indoors. This year all countries were divided into GNs and each one had a half-circle space for a country stands. In the middle there was a scene where each GN had time to show some presentation, dance, shouts, etc. I must say it's great feeling to travel from Colombia to India, from Germany to Japan, from Portugal to Canada - and everything under on roof. Then you feel not only as a CEEtizen but as a global member of the network.
The day finished with splendid Opening Ceremony. We were officially welcome to Istanbul by MCP of AIESEC in Turkey, Major of Istanbul city and CCP of IC 2007. We watched great performances of Flame of Anatolia group and listened to speaches of HP representative and Chairman of Turkish BoA. Amazing day full of impressions and emotions.
