Serious working weekend vs. Lan party.

So as I told you before I’m going to tell you how was it on students working weekend of my region.  Five participants from our local students club and school students club went there.  Everything began with speech from local mayor and a student’s club president, after that the whole Saturday was all about meeting and workshops how to made our clubs better, and how to use money that clubs get in the best way for all student as possible. I attended some workshops about organizing events, searching for our goals and sharing information from all other clubs that attended that working weekend. There were also other workshops about managing and leading clubs etc.

I was very amazed by the idea about working weekend because all clubs will be able to work better if they could get some information on how to operate from other clubs that maybe have more experiences. It’s also fun to meet other people that do the same job as you.

At the end of the day they also planned a great party but that one I couldn’t attend because I had to go to my local youth center where we had lan party. That was totally different thing. Some of our friends that have greater knowledge about computer got all the required equipment for it so we could play games between each other all and night.  Round 20 of us got together to play strategic games and some action games. So that boring day filled with meeting ended up fun playing all that games till 4a.m. in the morning.

That all for 20^th – 23^rd of January, just another crazy weekend. 

Weekend full of meetings

So usually the first two weekend of mouth are mostly filled with meetings on which we are talking what are we going to do till the end of the month. In weekend from 7^th till 8^th of January I had three different meetings.

Firs one was in Friday afternoon. Our club for school student got a visit Association of all Slovenian student clubs. They came to see how are we working because the found out that there are some clubs that are not using their financial support properly. They were very surprised by our work and found no deficiencies in it. We were also mentioned as very hard working club on association next day, and I also got some positive feedback by my colleges that work on this association.

Leo Konjice

Second one was on Friday night with Leo club Konjice. President gave u some reports how many money did we gather for families in December, we also did some planning for next month, but the meeting was quick, because there are no big events planned in the upcoming two or three weeks.

The third meeting was the meeting of our club. It took part on Saturday evening, first I told all member of positive feedback we got from Ljubljana about our work, than we planned our next event which will be a tournament in table football, we also decided who will go on next regional working weekend that will took place next weekend (14^th and 15^th of January) in Ljubno ob Savinji. I’ll go there only for one day, because there are other stuff that I have to do that weekend. I’ll tell you about them in the future. 

Hello 2012!

In the beginning of 2012 we did some presentations of our club on local high school; Gimnazija Slovenske Konjice. We did this to bring the club closer to youth in Dravinja valley. The presentation was half an hour long, in it we presented our entire projects, which we are, how we work, to who we help, where can they find us …At the end everyone was able to become a member of our club. In total till now presentation was seen from 90 school students. Others who yet didn’t saw it are already asking me when will we did it for them, so there are going to be more of this presentations in the future. With the presentation I also told them about Youth leadership project with Central Europe that I attended last year hopping that some of them will do the applications and went to USA for a month in summer of 2012, good luck to them.

Goodbye 2011!

So in last week of December I had school holydays so I decided not to do too many stuff. That’s why there were no posts on my blog, but any way I had a small project about witch I’m going to tell you now.

On our school students working weekend on Rogla, in the beginning of December, club members decided that we are going to have a stand in the center of Slovenske Konjice. On it we decided to bake free pancakes for everyone that will pass our stand. Together we bought all the ingredients that we needed, our club “chef” agreed that he will bake the pancakes and at the end we arranged the stand with our local info center who owns them, so that we got permission to use one of them.
We started at 11 a.m. till 16 p.m. In this time we made a lot of people happy. Two persons also thanked us on the local radio next day, so I call this project mission success.

But this was not the only thing I did during vacations. I also opened fan page for club on Facebook, so that everyone can follow what is happening in the Dravinja valley, especially school students.
