We had IP Campus!
This was an
event of three days, one of the highlights of the yearlong experience of us
Pan-European Seal trainees. This was an exciting thing, especially because of
the first day, on which volunteers had to present on the stage of the EUIPO
Auditorium a selected department of the Office. I was one of the volunteers and
worked with a core-group of three others. Team working always requires patience
and nerves. ..especially when all group members come from different countries
and have completely different idea of what you’re supposed to do and different methods
of working.
But well, we
worked hard for about 1,5 months and prepared a presentation of two
departments, the Observatory and Academy of the EUIPO. We wanted to be a bit
original and made our presentation into a form of a fairy tale. Finally, now on
Monday our group got to go on stage and present the result of our hard work. It
was quite exciting! None of us had extensive experience of public speaking, the
Auditorium where we had to present is scary big and I guess none of us had
spoken to such a big amount of people before as we had to now. Thus, we were
nervous but finally it all went well and now at least I am really relieved that
I managed it and don’t have to think about it anymore.
The two other
days were related to getting to know local industries and we got to visit a coffee
factory and a toy factory (!) =) and met representatives of local law firms. As
a whole the event was really nice and some great change to our everyday working
life.
In addition, I had
my Spanish exam last week and now that these obligations are behind me, I’m
quite tired but happy that now life is rather easy. Besides it’s almost Easter!
..and there are also many other holidays now upcoming during the Spring. Also
the weather is getting summery here, yippee!
With love,
Noora
