EESTEC Magazine Vol 33 2013/2 | Page 4

Editor’s Word Text: Darija Šalehar LC Ljubljana "Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you." - Oprah Winfrey Do you still remember your very ?rst project? Do you remember your ?rst con?icts, latenight working, insecure team leading and bonding with new colleagues? Moreover can you remember passion and joy given to the tasks despite some issues and barriers? Magazine Team Coordinator One of my ?rst major projects was editing a school magazine while I was in high school. I really loved doing that -from stage one, which was mostly gathering the right team, through brainstorming to article writting and in the end editing the texts and checking the design. And this was not just because I could skip some classes but because of the friendships made and learning interesting things during that process. When I decided to study electrical engineering, I thought that these days are gone and I'd have to leave behind my passion for journalism. But I was wrong! EESTEC brought it all back with an opportunity of being a magazine coordinator for the following year. Along came so many other bene?ts - travelling, great memories, interesting projects and the most important thing - getting a lot of new awesome friends. You can discover interesting facts about charming Tallinn, meet EESTEC observers and learn useful tips from training team. Even with all of this there are still more things you can read about and consider if the subject interests you because as you all know, the stories and adventures about EESTEC never end. In this issue everyone from the team left his mark. Some things got changed and improved. In the pages ahead you can read about current international projects, workshops and exchanges which happened on local level. Live your life with passion! Take care. Before we let you move on to enjoying our other articles I would just like to take a moment to thank our amazing crew for their contributions to make our magazine happen and also all of the EESTEC members who keep reading and supporting us. I hope that you will enjoy the delightful articles we prepared for you and remember, think big, think huge, think EESTEC! 4
