Change in strategy – Rīgas Anniņmuižas vidusskola

So, friday- the last working day of the week :) We spent it in a great school- Rīgas Anniņmuižas vidusskola! The pupils were very interested and actively involved in discussions, identifying the problems and coming up with original solutions. And as we promised, we publish the flipcharts that are creative for the solutions part and presentation.

IMG_2314Thank you, guys, for a wonderful time, strong involvement, warm welcoming and great attitude towards environmental issues.

Saurabh Gandhi : I sometimes wonder how proud I am that, I am actually leaving an impact on people’s mind. That is the best part in AIESEC : you get a chance not to just develop yourself, but also people around you. The whole idea is not to make them remember things we tell them, but to stimulate their thinking that they are also part of fight against global environment challenges.

We are improving with every session. From 40 slides in first session to just 2 slides in 4th. With 1 ice breaker in first to 3 in 3rd…and when pupils ask for once more, I feel the connection.

Rīgas Anniņmuižas vidusskola has given us a chance to further improve ourselves. We are now thinking of changing the whole strategy. With deep analysis of feed back forms, we are thinking of trying something new on Monday.

A lot has already been done. Meetings. E-mails. Discussions…but still there needs a lot to be done. This school has made us realize that although, we are delivering pretty good, the style of delivery is quiet monotonous.

Every possibility is being worked out at the moment and everyone is involved. With Sunday being left for our day out at Sigulda, We will have to work out everything on Saturday.

This school has provided us with great insight in our work. Though we expect to change the skeleton of whole session, lets see how things will come out. I am quiet confident and proud of my team.
We will rock \m/ !!

Alina Rusu: From the first steps in the schools I was impressed by the great organization and the attitude of the people who were helping us. I want to say special thank you to Andrei, who was always ready to help and support me and Ana Marija with anything we need :)

During the sessions I was really pleased to see pupils from others classes, that also wanted to join our discussions and maybe contribute to the solutions. It was very cool! I know that environment is a complex subject and you cannot squeeze it into 40 minutes, but I was happy to see pupils really caring about this issue and coming up with solutions that maybe are not practical or realistic, but one day they could be. And it’s only up to us to make this a reality!

Genevieve: Hi! I’m really glad for being able to visit the Rīgas Anniņmuižas Vidusskola. It brought me much joy when we were warmly welcomed by the pupils, especially Svetlana and her friends whom I met during our mini Global Village session=) Thank you girls and boys for all your encouragement and friendliness! It was great to see how they were particularly interested in knowing more about the Asian culture. The lessons led by my project mate, Saurabh and I was challenging, for me in particular. i sincerely hope that despite my accent you all were able to understand the main message – that You can do your part in saving our environment! The creative solutions that you all came up with shows that you can do it. So let’s all try to make a difference, no matter how small they are!;)

Ana Marija: I have to say that I was positively surprised how seriously this project is taken, from all sides, AIESEC, school organisations, highschool participants and my mates in this project! It really makes you motivated and pushes you to think more, work more, and it’s interesting, there is no boredom on the horizon:) So, as Saurabh said, we are improving things by each session, we are learning and enjoying so much. This project creates the energy that I’m feeling we really matter and that we can actually leave a positive impact on people by sharing our experience and examples from our countries. Thank you guys on that! :D
