enjoyable ris sunday

After getting off a client project, I finally got a team together to run Reintegration Seminar aka RIS. It has been almost 5 months after OPS, and close to 2 months that all OPS delegates were back from their 2 months international internship. It has been really good to read their blogs, and browse through their photos of their life changing experiences :)

We did talked about RIS at OPS; but I wouldn't imagine that we did it! It seems that all the delegates are still in euphoria, which is good; and have not gone to reverse culture shock yet. Or even they did, it was just a minor one. I remember mine was really really really bad! And I would say that it took me about 2 years to recover and move on. I guess that when you compare living abroad for 2 months and a year - that makes the difference!

It was really exciting to meet most of the OPS delegates at RIS again ;) It feels like it was a group of friends meeting after we've parted ways for some time. I'm of course happy that everyone remembered everyone else by name; as we've form this little collective of our own - connected because of our exchange experience.

I'm delighted to listen to all their stories. You can really feel their excitement when they're sharing. It felt the same when I just came back from my work abroad experience. It has been great training & meeting all OPS & RIS delegates. Thanks for the opportunity and an enjoyable Sunday ;)
