3rd EPSA Team Meeting - From organisation to realisation This year as the President of PPSA Warsaw I promised myself to finally bring EPSA spirit to Poland after a couple of years. For this reason I decided to motivate my local board to prepare a bid for the 3rd EPSA Team Meeting. I can still recall our reaction when we were informed about being chosen to host the EPSA Team. We were very excited, but at the same time we knew things got serious and now we must make every effort to prove it was a good choice. The next step was meeting with Bernardo – EPSA Vice-President of Internal Affairs and Kamber – EPSA Treasurer to discuss all the details. Since then we took care of all the logistics, which means accommodation, food, transportation, team meeting’s venues and social programme for the evenings. We have also created a guide to Warsaw for the Team Members. The Team Meeting took place from 13th to 15th of December 2019. However most of the Team Members came to Warsaw the day before. I can totally assure you it
was a good decision! On this day our local association – PPSA Warsaw – organized a Christmas Party for its members. The Team had an opportunity to try traditional Christmas food, meet other polish pharmacy students and as always at the parties – have fun! It was an unforgettable night, when Warsaw learned how to dance Muevelo. The following days we spent our evenings trying polish national dish – pierogi and visiting The Old Town, where with all the lights we could truly feel the Christmas spirit. We also couldn’t do without enjoying the nightlife of Warsaw. After all we were just a bit tired, but glad at the same time. We did our best to make the Team feel like home. It was a pleasure to host such a squad! Seeing how they work and spend time together was a truly motivating experience. It gave me a nice insight how different departments and positions work with each other and how crucial it is for the whole organization. I can truly recommend organizing a Team
Meeting in your own country! It is a good chance to test yourself at organizing events and check your crisis management skills. It is also a unique opportunity to meet all the Team and make new friends Piotr Nawrocki President of PPSA Warsaw
