An HRES-SU? (A Song of HRES and Chișinău pt. 2)

Back in November 2015, AEGEE-Chișinău intended to provide courses in Human Resources at the Human Resources European School (HRES), which got postponed until this Summer. For this edition, however, the HRES is combined with the SU of AEGEE-Chișinău, and you can choose to merely follow the ‘HRES bit’ of the SU, and you can combine the ‘HRES bit’ or AEGEE-Chișinău’s entire SU with another SU… As Leo said, “you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention”. Ana Gancearuc of AEGEE-Chișinău was, again, kind enough to explain everything to us.

 

HRES 3The AEGEEan: You also organised an HRES in 2015. Is the same group of people responsible for the ‘HRES bit’ of the HRESSU?

Ana: Yes, is the same group of people plus some new board members, that help a lot in the organisation, but the group of trainers would be different.

 

How exactly is this HRES different from its previous edition?

This HRES is combined with SU, and as the previous edition didn’t take place, we postponed it for the Summer.

We have extended the activities with the training for two weeks now, but, people who are only interested in the part with the HRES, can apply solely for that. Moreover, the ‘training part’ will be a bit shorter during the HRESSU than it would have been during the HRES.

.
HRES 2So, it is possible to attend just the HRES, instead of the entire SU. Could you tell us a bit more of how the HRES is integrated with the rest of the SU?

It is indeed possible to attend only the HRES instead of the entire SU. The SU lasts a total of two weeks, seven days of which, being Saturday the 16th till Friday the 22th of July, are allocated for the training itself.

.
It is possible to go to the HRESSU and to another SU. Why and how did you manage to arrange this?

People who applied for another SU already, can apply for HRESSU as well, but only via email. As via intranet it won’t be possible.

Why? Because we want to give the possibility for other members that want as well to come to our HRESSU to be able to attend the event. This will not only be a SU, but also a HRES. In order for the network to benefit as much as possible from the HRES, it might be a good strategy for AEGEEans, who interested in HR, not to miss the opportunity to participate in the HRES. That is way the SUCT granted us special permission for participants of other Summer Universities to participate in our event too.

 

HRES 5Why did you decide to integrate the HRES with your SU?

As we postponed the event, we thought of combining it with SU. We would have something that is more like a European-School-Summer-University-event, which would be different from what we’ve done in the past years.

 

How is your SC+ SU different from the SC+s of AEGEE-Madrid or AEGEE-Aachen?

Well basically; because we have a training course about Human Resources, which will be held in English. Meanwhile, the SC+ of AEGEE-Madrid has a language course, and only people with intermediate Spanish can apply. The same thing with AEGEE-Aachen; their SC+ is only for participants who speak German.

 

HRES 4Thank you for the interview, do you have any final remarks?

We are organising an amazing event and we hope that people will apply. Just because it’s a training, doesn’t mean that it will be boring; we have divided the hours perfectly and combined them with an amazing program, trips, activities, social program that there’s no way you won’t like it. But be fast, cause the deadline to apply is Sunday the 12th of June.

 

AEGEE-Chișinău’s SU lasts from the 14th till the 27th of July, and, if you want to know more about the HRES, check out our previous article here
