Time is passing by quickly and September is already here! For most of us,
that’s not a good thing, but lets be optimistic—at least summer 2013 is closer
every day! :)
So, what has been happening in AIESEC Croatia in August!? We all were a little bit
lazy (but weather conditions were not letting us be
hardworking as usual :P), however, we managed to do a lot—
our World in Your Hands people were searching for interns
and matching every day, EPs were enjoying there life-
changing internship experience, your MC attended International
Conference in Russia,...keep reading and find out what else has
been happening!
We hope that you rested well, that your batteries are full
and that we can continue our amazing term in even higher
gear...
Kisses from your

MCP message
Hello, ekipa! :)
Already August is over and people are coming back to their cities and AIESEC offices are starting to
operate normally (polako, polako :P) For MC, August was a very intense month since 4 of us travelled
to IC in Moscow, an unforgettable conference!
One of the most AMAZING parts of being member of AIESEC are for sure the international
conferences. You meet lots of new people, you gain knowledge, you get to see another country and
you promote your country! I hope this year we will have more members representing Croatia abroad!
As we are moving in September, I would like to leave you with few thoughts…
We are all preparing for recruitments now in our LCs, we are preparing to promote/ sell AIESEC to
other students BUT are we aware of WHY are we promoting these opportunities? What is the unique,
the worth trying for element of our organization that we want other people to see?
WHY do you believe in AIESEC?
Why should another student join?
For me answering these questions can make you feel certain when you go for recruitment, when you
need to step out of your comfort zone and approach a stranger just to introduce to him/her
something that you believe in, nothing more, nothing less.
Good Luck with preparations!
Your MCP,
Katerina
