Academy workshop @ EBM Riga!
Dear blogreaders!
For all of you who are going to Riga for the European Boards’ Meeting, the Academy will give an (attr)active workshop! The topic will be Human Resources, one of the Focus Areas and of course the topic of the HR Working Group:)
Motivation is the basis of a good working HR. Especially in voluntary work, motivation is the thing that keeps you going. The first two hours of the workshop will be devoted to motivation: how to motivate members and how to motivate yourself. Is there a difference between motivating people to become members or motivating members to become active? Which tools are there to motivate someone, or does it just depend on your personality? We will use one tool for motivation: Maslow’s pyramid of motivational needs. During the workshop we will create a customized AEGEE pyramid, including what is necessary to fulfil every step towards motivated members.
The second part of the workshop will focus on the Human Resources structure in AEGEE. There are a lot of improvements to be made in this area, both on local and on European level. The Academy has developed a new structure during the Strategic Planning Meeting. Together, we'll discuss this structure: what is needed for it to work, how can it be implemented in the most effective way? Designing the strategy is useless unless it will be implemented, so let's make sure that it will work!
See you in Riga:)
PS, the Workshop is called: “Motivate your HR to the top” and will be in the first day of the EBM.

ProTrain’s matching results published
That’s it, two days ago this matching happened in the second edition of this project. Mentees finally got to know their mentors and everybody seems to be happy! What will happen now is that both sides will meet (online supposedly). It is supposed that most of them selected each other, so on the one hand, they might know each other already and now this regular relation will make them feel closer, or on the other hand, this experience will create a new tie between them. This time we counted with the applications of some external trainers too. Moreover, Sandra Geldmacher, Project Manager, will send them a first task to the mentees, in order to guide them a bit in the beginning, and will wait input from mentors in order to know what’s the best way to follow with this new ProTrainees. In any case the development is totally up to the mentee and the mentor, as assignments are just a helping tool.
