JADE Romania is alive!

10 years ago there was a Junior Initiative from Romania to start building a new confederation- based on the entreprenorial spirit, but this didn’t happen at that time.

Our story started last year when B.O.S and TP&C representatives met in Brussels and realised that they both wanted to apply as Consultative Members in the JADE Network. Because they didn’t know of the existence of each other and met for the first time in Brussels that was interpreted as a sign of poor communication. This wasn’t the case because we didn’t know another organization wanted to go for the same thing. They both were refused as consultative members but an idea of building a confederation based on BOS and TP&C was born…

Time went by and here we are after a year, recently ellected as a new member of the JADE Network. After the last spring meeting- the two organization started to work together and build an Enlargement team. This enlargement team was formed initially by me- Simona Lascu, International Manager at B.O.S (Business Organization for Students), Andreea Paraschiv- a friend of mine and Marketing Manager at B.O.S, and Ruxandra Boscaneanu the International Manager of TP&C Cluj. Since November 2009 our team has enlarged with another TP&C member- Roxana Demian, and since January 2010 with the president of Teaching- Roxana Muscalu - from the third organization we have chosen to form the confederation with us.

It was a long road, filled with face to face meetings both in Cluj and in Bucharest, with endless mail-ing and skype meetings at odd hours, but we were really passionate and worked really hard to see JADE Romania happen.

Of course we had some advisers- because at the beginning we needed some guidance- and we received help from Raluca Hritcu- a former BOS member who started this movement from the part of B.O.S, as well from Elena Sotropa- former Vicepresident JADE UK and members from the current JADE ExBo:  Adelina Peltea – B.O.S Alumnus and of course from the JADE President- Antonia Sariyska.

We are extremly happy to see this happen after a lot of hard work, after attending international events in Kosovo, Brussels, Barcelona or London and we are happy we’ve met some awsome people who share our vision and our entreprenorial spirit. Now we will continue with our hard work because we have to set up legally this brand new confederation.

Congrats to us, we need to party!

P.S. I am sorry for those that were present in the General Assembly and could hear my neighbours drilling the walls. I had a previous post complaing about them-so u should keep in mind that the drilling had no agenda on my presentation ) . I am sorry I couldn’t be physically there but I had my voice and my spirit with you guys and I shared the emotions and drilling  with you. We will meet and party the next time!
