EuroXpro is one of the 5th biggest annual AIESEC conferences globally, hosted by different countries every year and attracting global partners and global AIESEC executives. This year EuroXpro took place in Izmir, Turkey from 11th to 17th April 2013. Conference managed to gather 290 youth leaders from 67 countries. The main goal of the conference was to bring together the young leaders from across the world to build new strategies for further development of AIESEC, creating a global network & partnership. These 7 days were filed with intense training sessions were delivered by world companies and global AIESEC partners such as Microsoft, DHL, PwC, TATA Consultancy and the global Leaders of AIESEC. Acquiring new knowledge, sharing international experiences, goal setting, and constant interaction had significant impact on each delegate’s personal and professional growth. As a result of the conference Kyrgyz Delegation managed to conduct successful negotiation with more than 20 countries and establish country cooperation agreements. These agreements guarantee high quality of internship based on the established international measures of service quality, including the free provision of food accommodation. These will allow our local Kyrgyz students to be easily accepted to the internship, receive assistance on visa and many other organizational procedures. The conference provided a unique opportunity to share new ideas on social and economic projects across the world. Many of those ideas were taken into consideration and will be implemented in Kyrgyzstan. Therefore, the country cooperation that was signed will significantly ease the process of recruiting the interns for our local social projects. AUCA students are one of the most active in AIESEC, most of interns are coming from AUCA and the majority of leadership positions in AIESEC are taken by AUCA students. Therefore, the knowledge and connections that were gained and that will definitely be share will increase the overall performance of AUCA AIESEC members, will ease the work on projects and will make these projects more effective and more beneficial for the society. Unfortunately, it is a common attitude that Kyrgyzstan is not well known as a country. Therefore, participation of the delegates from Kyrgyzstan on such huge conference brings it is impact on recognizability of the country. One of the main conference events was the cultural fair, called Global Village, where each country has an opportunity to present its unique culture. This year cultural fair that gathered around 1000 visitors. I can proudly that Kyrgyz delegation prepared one of the best presentations. We managed to stand out and attract a lot of curious attention. This successful performance also assisted to further country cooperation and global networking. The participants of the conference were all leaders, current and elected vice-presidents of AISEC, people, who will lead this organization forward. I was impressed by the incredible energy the conference was filled with, this incredible passion, dedication to AIESEC and strong belief that we all can change the world. After this conference I finally saw how huge AIESEC is and how huge of an impact its brings on the whole world. I believe, that we all united across the world can provide life-changing international experiences to our interns, help them grow as leaders and be the agents of change when inters come back home. Thank you SILC for providing me this opportunity to be a part of EuroXpro. I can’t find strong enough words to describe my gratitude. This conference had a huge impact on me. I fill so energized and motivated like I have never felt before. Now, I am ready to start my term in AIESEC as vice-president and serve my country. I will make sure that AIESEC will keep working more efficiently on developing youth leadership potential and move our country forward. “Believe, together we achieve”

It is a role-playing game in which each pair of students has the task to carry out likely the political positions of one of the UN member states through specific proposals on the issues in the agenda. The goal of the conference was to bring young people to the biggest conference in Italy and discuss the global issues. Participants of the conference had core debates. Zukhra represented Greece. Each delegation was given two minutes time to deliver its speech toward the committee. Zukhra was in General Assembly committee discussing the Millennium Development Goal # 1 – “Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger.” After that, the participants wrote a position paper. A position paper is two-page long paper saying about poverty and hunger situation in a specific country, in Zukhra’s case – in Greece. While writing a paper, there has to be a good research being done before to get to know the “country” properly. "One of the advantages, I possessed from the conference, is that I became a specialist in economic and political problems of one of the European Union member – Greece. Before, I did not know the reasons and roots of a big economic crisis Greece is facing now,” she said. On the fourth day of conference, Zukhra joined Eastern-European block of countries (countries of European Union and Eastern Europe), where the participants were working on their resolution paper. Each country of this block had to develop with the three ways of possible solution of how to eradicate poverty and hunger. There were three big blocks in the General Assembly of RomeMUN 2013: Eastern-European, African, and South-Eastern. By a simple majority of delegates’ votes the resolution of African block was passed successfully. Zukhra’s team work was also encouraged by the Chair of GA. By the end of the conference delegates were given certificates as participants. Advantage of conference was not only in the interesting speeches of other delegates about the issue in their countries, but also in interesting guest speakers, such as Staffan deMistura, a Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy, Dr. CorradoClini, Italian minister of Environment, Land, and Sea, and many others. According to the participant, she has learned several important things from the conference: - To deliver a speech in a diplomatic way - To feel the atmosphere of international community - To establish worldwide contacts with other delegates “I thank SILC, which gave me opportunity to meet political figures of the UN, to meet with interesting and brilliant delegates, and to be together with the active youth of the world,” Zukhra said.
