Today.. wasn’t just a day…
So when we woke up at 8:00.. you’d be surprised how 3 men can shower under 5 minutes and be ready in the car to go to breakfast.
The session started and it was on the intergenerational dialect. On how 2 people had an issue and it was between the modernized computer generation and the older solo-play (in that case) generation. Personally I think the older adults have a ton of experience we can learn from. Anyways, cheesy but much needed reminder. After we have discussed that we went to voting.
Now I’ve voted once in my life on something that It didn’t really matter but it was an official government and public issue. But voting at a forum… Is very serious.. though with a huge % of fun and heart pumping. The biggest tension came when we voted for the full membership of Palestina in WOSM. Now everybody in that room had their own opinion but when we came to voting… The heartbeat was killing me.. As it was accepted cheers filled the room. Well the rest of the voting was quite basic.. And nothing special happend.. Though some funny moments it went throught the whole day. As we voted on accepting the whole document 6 we cherfully claped as it simbolized the end of the voting session and a few minutes afterwords the end of the WSYF 2014 Slovenia. It was very cheerful… And I’ve never taken so many selfies. They named me the selfie man accoring to the interpreter Andru from belgium (I hope I got this right.. sorry man if I didn’t) which was the incredible interpreting ninja. Runing up and down the cort room as diffirent delegates expressed their opinions. So sorry dear english camp… But the WSYF has beaten your record… for my 64 GB card in the go pro has only 0.234 GB left. During the voting at the second coffee break I sliped out with Pija as we used our cards for the ”Dry sleds”.. Full speed on the turns.. I bet we had at least 3 extra Gs…. haha 😀
The group photo was also memorable as we danced and singed (Phooooooo-photo photo photo) 😀 As the sessions ended we went to the big tend on the closing cerimony.
The Secretary General of WOSM – Scott Teare gave the inspirational speech at the closing cerimony. After that a lot of countries have shown their gratitude. (Eva I am not driving you to Ljubljana… Too much presents.) 😀 As I almost closed the closing cerimony..
I’ve realised that searching for insiration is pointless…. Isnpiration was every brother and sister,attending the WSYF, every person here volunteering, the youth advisors (that hopefully I won’t lose contact with :D) and every scout around the world that is continuing the story of self sacrifice for others, helping and fulfilling – what I bealieve – our purpose of life.
Throught the forum I’ve been inspired for many projects. I would love to organize a camp – Balkan Beat. (Or Balkan – whatever you want- ) still making up a name… Just to re-live what our parents did back in the days of Yugoslavia.. The connections they had.. I want that to be revived with our generations. And since I’m part Hercegovian (Basically Croatian. I hope the BIH girls won’t ask me for a beer after this statement.. :D)
Also the world wide scout communication and the communication between the YA (youth advisors) and the NSOs (national scout organizations) to make it stronger. More efficient. And with a lot more bigger punch. To be honest. I had no idea what’s been happening out of my NSO…. Though I’m only 18 and this is my first international experience. (And i didn’t even leave the borders… -.- :P)
Guys… I just wanna say that I am proud and in love with you guys as the one of my biggest familis.
