AIESEC UNDIP - The Story of Fátima's (Portugal) Exchange Experience

HEI AIESEC!

Green Light Army Project

As an AIESECer in Portugal, I feel really grateful to be a part of the the Green Light Army Project, and work with this amazing OC’s from AIESEC UNDIP that has only one goal: create na impact in society in what concerns to preverve our environment.

Saturday, 13th August, we did a Roadshow in Junior High School 5 of Semarang wich participated arround 8 exchange membres, from Germany, Portugal, Austria, Ceko and Russia. This roadshow consisted in sharing about our behaviors in our hometows.  For that, we separeted in groups, one EP for each group with 25 students each, and show them a presentation about our country and talked about the problem that afect them directly: the pollution in Semarang and in the whole Indonesia as well. About me, I really loved to share with my group of students. They were warmfull on welcoming me, and I really felt like home. The students were proactives and very opened about getting to know more about what we do in Portugal, I was very surprised and amaized at the same time. I talk about how much Portugal cares about nature, recycling and using renewable ressources, like sun, wind and waves. I tried to pass the image that Portugal has been a green country, and preserving is kind of “fashion” and it’s not that difficult if everyone slowly changes their bad behaviors and replace them to good and simple habits. After all, we discuss about solutions and decided all together that we’re going to take care of the future, because as Portugal it’s a beautiful and full of nature country, also Indonesia has an incredible and indescriptable beauty that I’ve ever seen.

Be a part of this project it’s certainly an experience that I’ll will always take with me. Thank you AIESEC UNDIP for this opportunity!
