<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>No single comment to
the dish we are preparing with Filiz and some other friends for you
here, so i keep telling</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080><U><FONT face=Arial size=2>1st my OST experience
in Germany </FONT> </U></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>I had the honor to assist Juliane
Neumann last week in Vlotho at Learning Exchange meeting of German
Consultants.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>It was a great experience as already
language helped me to stay out of the issues and the community and i was happy
with that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>Juliane was a wonderful
facilitator; perfectly invisible but present to observe and hear
everything, people actually thought that she was a butterfly or an
assistant.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>Mia, another colleague in our team
was also wonderful. She was very experienced in OST organizations yet
she</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>made everything so easy and fun for
me. She didn't forget to translate me what was going on despite the work
load,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>they both made me feel part of the
team, cooperating with me, listenining to my questions, making time and space to
answer them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>And all the Boscop members made me
feel at home and welcomed whenever needed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>So i especially want to thank
to Juliane Neumann and Mia Konstantinidou as team members, and then Juliane
Adler and Michael Pannwitz (the
junior) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>as organizers and all the boscop
members ( Michael -the senior); Jo, Yaari, Anna, and all the
participants some of them i knew from POP Berlin,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>some were i met for the
first time...) for giving me this first opportunity to work professionally
at an OST meeting and to make even some money</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>out of something that i love and
enjoy so much. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>Berlin is a beautiful colorful
ciy, hosting many cultures and societies. An unforgottable
experience for me was a self organized, spontaneous
dinner where </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>it suddenly happened that we
were 4 people around a table, eating italian dish, drinking italian
wine, listening to turkish music and each talking</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>different languages at the same
time (english, german, spanish and italian), yet we were
able to make jokes, understand each other and
laugh. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>I also had a chance to meet
different people who work a lot with OST. A lot of OST work going on Europe
and I didn't know that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>So please i kindly ask to hear more
european OST experiences on the list, they are crucial for me as examples and
they give me some ideas</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080><FONT face=Arial size=2>about integrating
somethings from here to some of them or vice versa. </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please don't think only about
bombs and terrorists, we have so many things to offer;like music, food,
dances, fun, laughter, love, brotherhood,</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080><FONT face=Arial size=2>cooperation etc....( i
don't know why i needed to tell this but i wanted to
mention)</FONT></FONT></DIV>
