Country club

Bergen-ICY have focused on developing our knowledge on different countries this semester. We have had meetings were we have learned about Sri Lanka, Kenya, Palestine, South-Africa, Bangladesh, Ukraina etc, and yesterday we had a fabulous meeting about Somalia.

Heidrun were teaching us about the history of the country and we learned that it has been a british and italian colony. After a presentation of the country we always have a quiz related to the presentation and other aspects of the country.

If you wnat to try, you can answer these questions about Somalia:

What is the name of the president?

When did Somalia declare independece from England and Italy?

And what is the official languages in Somalia?

Amongst the members that were at the meeting yesterday, it was a close race. But they all had a way to go to get top score on the quiz. It was possible to get 23 point and the winner had only 11,5.

Do you want to challange todays members on the next country club-meeting? You are very welcome to join us.

ICWeekend 2010

From friday til sunday this weekend (12.-14. March) ICY'ers from Both Bergen and Oslo and other places in the world, were gathered at Dagali, Geilo. There were two ICY'ers from Oslo, four from Bergen, three GoCY'ers from Palestine and Kenya and three CfC'ers from Madagascar, Armenia and Norway. There were also some friends of the cabinowner represented and they were also a great part of this years IC-weekend. This is an annually event and this year it was arranged by Bergen-ICY. First and formost it is a soscial gathering where we can relax and have fun together. And it is also a good arena to exchange ideas about different topics that ICY is focusing on. This year we had a small workshop about consumption and environment and we came up with many ideas on how to focus on these topics. Maybe we will arrange a campagne that you can read about here later?

We had a lot of fun outside in the snow. These small boards give you a lot of speed down the road.

And this is what happens if you get to much speed...

We played a lot of UNO with extended rules. It's hard to keep up, but it's a lot of fun.

Global Youth Partnership

From 3. -6. February were Einar and Magnhild at Global Youth Partnership in Oslo. LNU arranged this conference to develop the comptence of the organisations that rescieved funding in 2009. Bergen-ICY recieved funds for our exchanged project with JAI in Palestine. Ibrahim wa also at the conference.

It was a really great conference wich were interesting and we learned a lot. There were lectures about mutual partnership, communication, Gender and environment etc. We are better prepared for a new project now. We used some time to plan the future together with Ibrahim and we look forward to keep in touch.

Oslo ICY and Buskerud krets were also at the GYP and we also got to know different organisation and many very nice people.

Ny leiar

Tysdag 2. februar hadde Bergen ICY sitt årsmøte for 2010. Årsrapport og reknskap vart lagt fram, akkompagnert av bilete frå ICY sine eskapadar i året som gjekk. Diskusjonar kring medlemstal og arrangement denne våren vart og viktig, og viktigast av alt: etter eit spanande val der Mari stilte til val på Einar sitt prinsipp frå i fjor om at "alle kandidatar treng ein motkandidat", vart Einar einstemmig valt til leiar for neste år. Han tok over den blå leiarmappa etter konstituert leiar Saliba. Gratulerar!

Nattcup!

Natt til lørdag arrangerte Bjørgvin krets nattcup i Haukelandshallen! ICY var på plass blant overtrøtte konfirmanter for å vise en ny dimensjon i deres tilværelse.

Nattcupen blei sparka igang med en urettferdig fotballkamp! På Nord-laget spilte dyktige Ludus/SportY-spillere, og på Sør-laget spilte ICY. Spillerne på Sør-laget stilte med diverse handicap; krykker, bind for øynene, vannbøtte på hodet og hender og bein bundet sammen. Kampen er selvfølgelig et bilde på verden i dag, som er alt annet enn rettferdig. Det hele blei et morsomt show med en dypere mening!

Midt på natta var det tid for ICY Challenge i form av en stafett som innebar bl.a. fairtradebananspising og internasjonal quiz. Her er et noen konfirmanter i aksjon:




Jeg er på saken for å få tak i et bilde fra den urettferdige fotballkampen.
