Dorina in Norway
Dear YMCA friends,
I had the opportunity to be in WAY training in Norway as an 'Agent of Change'. The experience was
great and every time we go through these International trainings it makes me more aware of
how big the YMCA World is and it that it leaves you inspired and feeling so good!
We stayed in Oslo for one night and then moved to Gjovik for
the rest of training. It is was an inspiration to see youth from different YMCA’s
and the diversity of the ways they contribute to their institutions and local/national movements.
At times I was had a feeling that some of agents where
seeing communication with their CEOs a big challenge, which made me think
how can I can contribute to this process. I think in the next NGSs (National
General Secretary’s) meeting I will have to say something about this and maybe
share with an open letter to everyone the importance of having around 50 youth
from Europe who voluntary contribute to help awake the sleeping giant and are
there to help build the visibility of our organization in Europe and globally!
I think as Change Agent’s we are heading in the right direction and we are all taking care of
our Y's at home which makes us think globally and act locally for bigger change!
