AIESEC International Take Over Party

Last 15, 16 and 17 of July (last weekend) AIESEC International was hosting in Rotterdam the traidtional Take Over or Transition Party. In the frame of this celebration AI invites MCs, LCs, trainees, friends - in general all posible AIESEC community to join us for a weekend and enjoy together a cool agenda. Luis Rene, from the outgoing team was coordinating the party. We ended having around 130 people registered!

This transition party agenda (which is quite similar to the ones of previous years) started on friday 15 with chill out drinks and "warming up" in a cafe-bar in Rotterdam. Next day, saturday was the hard core day ;-) We started by mid-day with the AI cook Off: in the roof of Hofdik (the AI apartment building) we invited all people for food, offering sanwiches, drinks, salad) ... this to prove the cooking skills of AI.

Cook off - AI prepared fod for 130 people!

After the food, we went with all people to the football/volley field next Hofdik and started with the so called BYOND FRONTIERS GAMES. For these games all AIESEC International Functiona Corners (eg Directors, PAIs, ER, Core Work, IS ....) prepare games, challenging, fun, sometimes also random games, where people can participate. After the games, the SPORTS turnaiment took place, FOOTBALL AND VOLLEY. Each country (from the coountries that made it to the party) or MC or group of people had a team ... the winner in Volley were the Global Partnership Coordinators and in football BRAZIL (that is not surprising!)

Finally in the evening/night/morning? we had the hand over party! We want to an AWSOME bar in Rotterdam, danced like hell (specially Kamil), had cock-tails and specially gave a HUGE round of applouses to AI 04 05 for an amazing year, as well as a big welcome and good luck to the new team.
