We are talking about the notorious Oktoberfest-Exchange. Ten EESTECers had the courage to accompany LC Munich to the world’s biggest beer booze. Four days in a row they went to the Oktoberfest in the early mornings to get a place in the big beer-tents so they could drink the world famous Maß of beer, 1 Liter of beer, and eat roasted chicken while singing to traditional Volkslieder, among others: ‘EinProsit, einProsit der Gemütlichkeit!’ Next, they visited famous sights in Munich. Both Bavarian and EESTEC spirit made this event magnificent. But these hardworking EESTECers in LC Munich hope to welcome YOU at the Oktoberfest 2014! LC Ljubljana organized a Facebook application programming workshop called FB Apps as one of the two main themes of its dual workshop event. FB Apps featured 10 participants from different LCs. During the event, participants learned the basics about developing simple Facebook applications and also attended more broad lectures about managing and maintaining an online presence and different online social platforms. During their free time, the participants also had the chance to explore the city of Ljubljana and briefly travel across Slovenia. Alongside the workshop FB Apps, LC Ljubljana organized a workshop on the tools and skills of Public Relations. Together with local participants, 10 EESTECers from different LCs had the chance to hear some great thing from this topic.
