AIESEC Sofia’sChristmas CocktailHow much magic can be gathered in one evening? It depends only on us, becausewe made that magic. Since we carry it in our souls, whenever we want something tohappen, we just do it.

After long preparations and so many effortson 11.12.13, AISEC Sofia held its ChristmasCocktail, inviting all current members of thethree LCs in Sofia and the National Office, allcorporate partners and of course every Alumniwho wanted to join. Even though, the mainidea originally came from LC UNWE and gotrealized owing to the faithful work of the theBusiness Task Force.

So this is how in ATM Hotel’s restaurant,Christmas came earlier. Entering the partyevery guest got a Christmas wish from ourwish-box. Of course there was a dress codeand everyone had to wear something red orwhite and could choose to drink red orwhite wine.

Breathtaking was the presence of the chair of the event, and namely our VP ER- Krasi,who took care of our guest with special agenda. A short presentation was there toshow our guests what we have accomplished within the last year – the thousands ofkids who smiled because of us, the hundreds of students who lived the adventure oftheir lives and all the new ideas that were born and flourished just in a year. Everyoneknows Christmas is also about presents, so there were special made certificates, pensand flash drives with AIESEC’s logo for our partners as a sign of recognition for theirgreat contribution and steadfast support to AIESEC. Members of LC UNWE were notforgotten either! After winning the vote of the majority, our President, Bobby, gavesome of them special certificates, too.

In the fun part another very special guest appeared too - the real Santa with his SnowWhite, spreading the Christmas spirit all around us. Actually, we had a Secret Santa, too.And not just one! Everybody turned into Santa by making a nice gesture for someonerandomly chosen. Because Christmas is about being better people. The party continuedwith lovely talks, jokes, Christmas songs and of course roll-calls. And about the magicwe made that magic! Just make sure you would keep it and spread it!

LCPElections

LCPElectionsOn the 15th of December the elections for the AIESEC Sofia UNWE LCP for the term 2014/2015 took place in UNWE. The candidates were Veliana Zlateva (present LCVPF) and Milen Haralambiev (present LCVPTM). The event started at 2 p.m. First there was a 15-minute speech and then a 15-minute Q&A session with the first candidate – Veli. Then the same happened with the second candidate – Milen. Afterwards we proceeded with an open discussion with both of them – Milen and Veli were asked the same questions about AI and the role of AIESEC Bulgaria in it and every one of them had to answer. After that the candidates had a little break, during which the other members of AIESEC discussed the features a Local committee president should have to be an effective leader. Next came the time for the final 5-minute speeches of the candidates. Then the most essential part of the elections happened – the voting. There were 29 full righted members of AIESEC Sofia UNWE present and every one of them had to vote secretly and anonymously. At about 6 o’clock every one of them was ready and we moved to the inner yard of UNWE, where the present LCP – Bobby Georgiev pronounced and poured 10 liters of water on ‘his baby’ – the LCP-to-be. The result is – with 17 against 12 votes for the position of LCP of AIESEC Sofia UNWE for the term 2014/2015 was elected Veliana Zlateva. We wish a lot of success for both of the candidates. And Veli, may the force be with you, so that you can bring AIESEC Sofia UNWE to a better future!

World Playground team is working very hard. We have five EP's - from Egypt, China and Indonesia and we'll need five more to reach out our target. We have our first promo materials, which aim to inform the candidates for our project and we are sure that soon we will achieve our goals.

We have a brand new marketing plan, Prezi for our interns, we've made segmentation of more than 20 companies, and a budget.We've already started calling schools and kindergardens and we've arranged 2 meetings for January. We have a working programme for the interns and a fancy wiki.

Team MD & MU is ready with the marketing plan, budget and timeline of the project. The girls already know what Canvas model is, and with a lot of spirit come up with a promise, which is waiting to be posted on the wall!

The Team already has a progress in its project. The phone took part in the work and the first companies were called. Of course, schools weren't forgotten, too. They had their first meetings, MU project caused a huge intereset. The girls and Mitko started to give grades about their work together and made CAT 360, answering the questions trutfully and honestly. They decided to give themselves a reward for their last meeting for 2013 and made an awesome team-evening with sweet talks, drinks, table football, darts and so much laugh. Everyone could see how they were going to look like if they were in a cartoon movie, thanks to their COMM - Sofia. Also they made their promise as a team and felt not just like colleages but like friends!

Welcome to the stage the new FSB crew! Under the humble guidance of their OCP, Neda Slavova, Ivet Pilitova, Senem Barut, Georgi Blagov and Nataliya Georgieva are going to make wonders. They already promised the whole office to work hard while never forgetting to also enjoy their time in the organization and have lots and lots of fun.

The cold wind and harsh weather of December didn’t stop the enthusiasm in FSB. Despite all the finals and projects due, we managed to keep up with the good work: • ICX segmented over 100 NGOs (!), made 20 cold calls, 8 of which turned into meetings with several promises for second meetings in January. The girls also helped other fellow ICX-ers with their EP interviews. • TM worked non-stop, doing CAT 360, PDPs and a great team building. • COMM is following the marketing plan and with the help of TM designed an awesome Christmas email for us to send to all our contacts.

The team of CSR in Practice heroically lost two members-ICX. However, the team is strong and continue working on their tasks. We successfully developed our busi ness model and set our goals and vision. The team is making some researches in the CSR area on national and international level-articles, videos, companies which are practicing CSR and their initiatives. ERs started prepearing segmentation of companies which are practicing CSR, international companies and some potentional partners. Our gorgeous COMM started planning a promotion compaign which will help in attracting corporate partners.The compaign will last a month and will show the benefits of having an international intern. The organization Denkstatt will help us in realising the project by providing trainings for the team and the interns , the trainings are directly connected with CSR policies and practicies. The sweet TM supported our first emotional teambuilding and the smoothly going of processes in the team.
