It was a unique opportunity for these two organizations to meet each other’s members, which lead to some interesting discussions. Participants and organizers had the time to exchange ideas about EESTEC and ESTIEM during the workshop’s activities and they have definitely explored new horizons of their collaboration. Everyone tasted the great Turkish hospitality, discovered the wonderful city of Izmir through an exciting city rally, visited companies and participated in several interesting trainings. Both participants and organizers realized how fruitful can be a co-operation of two great organizations such as EESTEC and ESTIEM for a project like BrainTrainer! And if you ever have the chance to attend a workshop like that, not only in Izmir but in any other EESTEC city, don’t you ever miss it! EESTECers from LC Istanbul did their best in order to make their event marvelous! They have been preparing GreEnergy vol.2 for months and they couldn’t wait for the event to begin. After Welcome Ceremony on Monday, eager of knowledge, participants started with their lectures. As a practice, they made an electric circuit having its electricity from solar panels with red LEDs and wrote “EESTEC” with them. When you are having fun, time passes incredibly fast. Neither this event was an exception. They were having fun during the long days of lectures and nights during whole week. Hosts evoked Oriental spirit in the best way. They all enjoyed a magical boat trip in Bosphorus, went to nargile, hamam, Turkish Night and of course had a marvelous city rally with a challenging route. It was definitely an unforgettable week for everyone with an intense EESTEC spirit. We are sure that participants are still thinking about the event and remember the special moments.
