IC 2016 | Delegate mailer #1

Dear Delegates, Congratulations for making on AIESEC’s 68th International Congress delegate list! As you know, only 0.011% of the AIESEC network has the opportunity to attend this amazing gathering. It is not only a huge privilege, but also a responsibility to take the best out of this experience and use it to further develop your local communities.

Make these 10 days count.

With this year’s Congress in Poland, I am looking for all of your support in making both my and the CC team’s dreams come true.

We truly believe that bringing young leaders from around the globe to the heart of Europe will inspire young Poles and draw attention to this nation’s true potential.

The spirit of Poland’s past , present, and future bring warm feelings to my heart and I look forward to sharing this with all of you. Its diverse landscapes filled with clear waters are just the beginning of what our nation has to offer. With citizens who care, you will find yourself feeling at ease when immersed into our hospitable community.

I welcome you to Poland, where you will truly be able to #LiveYourLegend On behalf of the Congress Committee, Magda Sowierszenko
