Seminars from Students to Students by our AIESEC Specialised Unit
The Specialised Operational Unit of AIESEC established at the University of Sheffield International Faculty, CITY College in Thessaloniki has already started organizing activities at our main campus and launched the series of ‘Personal Development Seminars’. Three seminars have taken place so far, delivered from students to students aiming at helping them correspond to their academic obligations and prepare them for their future career. Entitled ‘Time and Stress Management’ the first seminar took place at the beginning of the academic year and focused on effectively organising study time and student activities in order to minimize stress. The second seminar was on ‘Conversation Skills & Body Language Use’ aimed at improving students’ communication skills, an important basis of success both at a personal and professional level. ‘Get to know your Motivation’ was the title of the last seminar which took place in order to help students identify their inner motivation and use it as drive to achieve their goals. All seminar were organised by the AIESEC – CITY team, namely Team Leader Nikolas - Marwan Zawaher together with Giorgos Tsoulkanidis, Vachos Xantinidis, Martha Natsi and Nita Skenderi. The events pulled a full house proving our students’ high interest in interesting topics about personal development. Led by a team of students and with our student Nikolas - Marwan Zawaher as team leader the AIESEC Specialised Unit aspires to provide our students with opportunities to join AIESEC programmes, develop their leadership skills, create an international exchange network, offer internship opportunities and enrich the overall student experience. Nikolas - Marwan Zawaher Team leader of the AIESEC Specialised Unit Nikolas commented: "At the International Faculty we have our own Official Specialized Unit since March 2014. With this establishment, AIESEC-CITY wants to provide students with all services that AIESEC provides to its members worldwide. Additionally, as an expansion unit of AIESEC University of Macedonia - Local Committee, we benefit from the most successful local committee in Greece through the knowledge background on the sector, but the same time we are free to develop a CITY College Centered AIESEC Profile aiming at better supporting students at the International Faculty of the University of Sheffield. Our Unit's vision is to provide students with volunteering and work experiences that can shape their future and especially their leadership profile."

Knowledge, Implementation, Volunteerism! The three key words of our youth's success
Volunteerism in Thessaloniki - A video about the implementation of various volunteering projects which were initiated and pulled through by the International Faculty's students and staff. (in Greek) We often pointed out the importance of volunteerism and how rewarding is giving and helping. This video is in Greek since it refers to actions and projects taken place in Thessaloniki, where our main campus is, and also involved the people of Thessaloniki. Nevertheless, the video is just a short reference and tribute to all the wonderful projects that our students undertook with the help of their lecturers. Some of these projects which are mentioned in the video are: - the creation of the Spastics Society of Northern Greece website - the creation of Children's museum of Thessaloniki website - the creation of the Parents' Association with children suffering with neoplasmatic diseases website - the creation of bookbook.gr - the creation of a software for the Alzheimer Association of Northern Greece. Moreover, our institution has already included in the programme of studies modules which promote the social responsibility and the consciousness of giving back and making an impact to the world around us, especially to people who need our help.

Ms Laura Neagu, our BAED student embraces volunteerism!
Volunteering offers a unique opportunity to help the others by donating our time or our services for a good cause. What we get back is physical and mental rewards, professional experience, knowledge and the wonderful feeling of giving. We want to "make a difference" and we are happy to see our students following this path. Ms Laura Neagu is our student currently studying for a Bachelor in Business and is actively involved in several volunteering projects. Laura finds time to combine her busy academic schedule with volunteering activities. Lately she organized along with another volunteer, an event on behalf of the Romanian Consulate in Thessaloniki. The activity was part of a bigger project organized by the Municipality of Thessaloniki, called «La Grèce vous invite» (Greece invites you). Laura was also part of the promotion team of the contemporary Romanian film "Ana" which premiered last month. Laura is an excellent example of a student who is engaged in extra curriculum activities involving with volunteerism! Well done!

Big Congratulations to our students for crossing the 42km Marathon's finish line!
Nikolaos Mantsios, Haris Liampas and Stelios Karatzas completed yesterday the 9th International Marathon “Alexander the Great”. They all raced the marathon for the first time. Stelios completed the race in 4 hours 3 minutes while Nikos and Haris have run it side by side in 5 hours 8 minutes. Anybody who deals with sports and long distance races knows that the marathon is one of the most challenging sports. Stelios mentioned modestly that the race was not so difficult as everybody says about the 42km as he regularly runs for training 10-15 km. His decision to run the marathon was made recently and crossing the line made him feel proud of himself for achieving one more challenging goal. Haris says : “I dedicate this Μarathon race to Nikolaos Mantios with whom I was with at the whole duration of the race and we crossed the finish line side by side, I believe that if he was not with me in the whole distance I would not have made it. Also I devote this race to my friends and family that waited for me in the finish line to offer me help, and to all those that believed in me and sent me positive energy.” Nikos was more laconic after a brief conversation we had with him. He said “My goal was to complete this race, l might never run it again but the feeling of finishing this race was enough, plus fulfilling a goal l had since two years ago made me feel proud of myself.” Here we have to mention that Nikos injured his knee during the race therefore he continued to the finish line. We wish him a fast recovering and lots of strength to achieve his future targets. Once again congratulations to the three of them. We are all very proud of you and we wish you from our hearts to continue running both for your personal body and spiritual balance and for any other cause that satisfies you. Here are the links to previous posts about our students Haris and Nikos: Two more students will run the Marathon 1st Year Student Runs the 42km Marathon for World Peace!
