Being PR is a great opportunity to participate in EMA and you'll meet a lot of cool and interesting people who may become important contacts later in life. I personally haven't decided yet whether I'll apply or not for a second term, but I definitely encourage you to apply!
So now a brief summary of what has happened this past weekend. I arrived on Friday to Lugano at about 14.00 and we went with some people for a walk and to grab a bite even if it was pouring. Then we returned to the hotel, took a shower, and went to the pier to catch a boat that gave us a ride on the lake while we ate, drank and did a little bit of networking. On Saturday morning we went to Università della Svizzera Italian which was the host institution for the event. We had an opening session in which key persons were introduced and gave a speech. Then we had lunch and during the afternoon we had a forum of inspiration in which some Erasmus Mundus alumni shared their success stories, we had a World Coffe Break in which everyone brought something from their homeland and then we participated in diverse workshops (Emotional Intelligence in my case). Then we returned to the hotel, took a quick shower and put on our gala clothes because we had an event in the coolest restaurant ever. It was on a cliff by the lake and it had windows all over to see the city lights. We ate, drank and celebrated EMA's 10th anniversary!
Finally, on Saturday there was a voting session to correct some points in the statute and add some new ones. This is because, as some of you might know, EMA became a legal entity and they are supposed to update their statute on an annual basis. The last thing we did was to meet with the regional chapters (Latin America in my case) and then with different service teams (the PR network in my case).
That is all guys, I salute you and leave some pictures!
