What would you add to LSS history?

LSS 2013 Organising Committee

As announced on 29/01/2013, the Leadership Summer School is moving forward for its 2013 edition. This year, the event is going to be held in Bulgaria, organised by AEGEE Sofia and associates!

AEGEE-Sofia

AEGEE-Sofia is an organisation with traditions and huge experience in organizing international events. Their aim is to be essential part in youth’s life in Bulgaria and all over Europe. Organising Leadership Summer School is important because we strongly believe that it will improve our organisational skills and it will be more than one step forward for us. This event gives us changes that will enlarge our view, our values and open our eyes to foster actions for a better future, because our future competency will be fostered by today’s changes that we make.

Cafer Saatchi

“Leadership is a journey, not a destination. This could be said for the foreign languages. The phrase ‘to learn a language’ does not exist. Always in front of you there are new opportunities to discover more and more from the magic world of foreign language, to sink deeper and deeper in its charming secrets.
But actually the goal is to start using the language, speaking it or being confident in communication. This is how we see LSS and why we consider it important and life changing. Let us create your journey.”

Cafer Saatchi, OC President

You are thus invited to check your agendas, craft your motivation and explore potential routes as this Summer, you will be expected around Sofia!
