What I will be working on this week:
TM coaching:
Eszter (FR)
Fabian (BA)
Anne-Juliette (LA)
Advisory Council meeting in Zürich
Visiting the last Basel LCM
Preparing individual and T2T-Transition (cleaning up and updating the server, creating an agenda, assembling the important files, preparing sessions, ...)
Lots of little tasks :-)
Picture of the week:
Phoenix e.V.
This picture was taken in Brandenburg at the annual gathering of the anti-racism organization founded by my incredibly wise Dad
On another note: this whole pseudo-diversity thing in AIESEC is starting to piss me off actually ... what a bunch of unreflected nonsense. So we call ourselves "culturally sensitive", but is that a reason to ignore racist comments and attitudes, prejudice-reinforcing roll calls and to behave as if we can make racist (or discriminating) jokes simply because we have friends from other countries?!

Best moments:
Spending time with 35 wonderful people (many of whom are family) in a place that scared me and still was the exact right place to be; getting to know amazing kids, hearing their stories about daily racist insults and occasional violence, working on response strategies together, and being touched and inspired by their spirit and courage; the transition prep session - damn, we can be good and fun if we want to be!; a relaxed evening with my Ruthie and a huuuuge breakfast with Monika and Kwesi in Berlin; realizing that true success lies in moving things without compromising your principles for recognition or fame
Soundtrack:
Congolese gospel in Lingala - memories of my childhood :-)
