Hej!
I have never really written an online blogg before. So it is feeling a bit new for me at the moment, but I will just convince myself that it is just like writing my diary... only this time for the world =). So, here we go!
Okey, so now I am finally here in Copenhagen. Yesterday was the arrival day of all the WAGGGS delegation members. We are a fantastic team of 19 girl guides and girl scouts from practically all around the world... let's see from Brazil, USA, Australia, Bolivia, Sweden, Denmark, Egypt, Madagascar, Kenya, France, Hungary, aaaand Lebanon! We also have with us 3 WAGGGS leaders that are training us from Austria, England and Australia. As you can see, it's a culturally varied group gathered by guiding and scouting!! Two thumbs up!
So, today was the official training day. The day started early and bright, after breakfast we had some discussions of why WAGGGS is here at the COP15 (Conference of Parties- 15th United Nations Climate Change Conference) conference and what is our aim and expectations from it. We also played some games to get introduced to all the others in the delegation team. The day continued also with further topics and discussions of such as dfining clearly the WAGGGS Key Messages for the COP15 conference.
For those who are new to guiding/scouting, WAGGGS is the World Association for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. What is that? It's a world wide movement providing non formal education where girls and young women develop leadership and life skills through self-development challenge and adventure. Girl Guides and Girl Scouts learn by doing. The WAGGGS mission is to enable girls and young women to develop their fullest potential as responsible citizens of the world.
Okey, now is the time when I should turn off the computer and go to sleep. Tomorrow is going to be the first day of the COY conference (Conference of Youth - well, basically all large global Non Governmental Organizations of the youth gather tomorrow!) Wake up early-but we are so ready!
