2nd CIHEAM-MAICh Alumni Gathering

The idea of this gathering is to bring in contact as many former MAICh graduates as possible in order to establish a network among them, as well as to rekindle memories.

Following the highly successful "1st CIHEAM MAICh Alumni Gathering" in 2015 (video), which more than 250 people attended, the 2nd Alumni Gathering is planned for Friday 23rd August, 2019.

This year the gathering will focus on
"CIHEAM’S Multiculturalism as a contribution to Personal and Professional Evolvement"

We are honored to announce that the General Secretary of CIHEAM will attend the gathering along with a delegation of Alumni Coordinators from the 4 CIHEAM-MAI's.

We would like to encourage you all to tell your own experience during this event.

How did the years spent in the multicultural “Micro-society” of MAICh influence your life? What was the key point in this daily life that changed and/or embraced your vision?

This is the time to present your story – your presentation may inspire future students! 

We will try to organize an unforgettable reunion!

In order to make this come true, we need your support and participation!!

Hack stress: How the magic power of gratitude can change your life

Workshop by Samira Belhadj

23rd August 2019 from 14.30-18.30

As we show gratitude, the universe responds by giving us what we are grateful for. This is the basic precept in the Law of Attraction which says that the things we focus on are the things we attract more of into our life. The more energy we have around something, the more energy it attracts. It’s basic physics.

No matter what your religion or nationality, it seems that stress in life is inevitable.

However, showing gratitude helps us to enjoy life more. It can help us to break through huge barriers and reduce our stress load, give us more confidence and help us meet our goals, no matter how big they may be.

Your goals

Do you have goals? Do you feel your goals are realistic for what you want to do and where you want to be?

Your finances

Do you think your finances are managed well?

Your work life

Do you enjoy your job?

Your love life/social life

Do you feel fulfilled and happy in this facet of life?

Your physical life

Are you comfortable in your body? Are you filled with energy? Do you enjoy the foods you are eating?

Your home life and possessions?

Do you feel you have enough? Or do you think you need more?

It’s all so simple, really. When we change the way we think, and start to fill our lives with thankfulness, nothing else is the same. We start to change our lives forever, and it DOES get better.

If you are generally optimistic by nature, this can be enough to boost your optimism and keep you away from stress. If you are naturally pessimistic, by changing your life, you will move away from negative thinking and into something more uplifting.

This improved state of thinking provides a raft of benefits from increased confidence, to decreased ill health, to increasing our enjoyment levels across the board in a range of different situations.

Think about the last time someone said thank you to you and you knew they meant it. It does something quite magical to your relationship with them.

Perhaps these ideas can help you start your own Gratitude List or Journal…

If so, come and join us in the workshop “Hack stress: How the magic power of gratitude can change your life” which will take place in Chania, Crete, Greece on the 23rd of August, 2019.

Leadership Democracy Model: Arnold and Amy Mindell’s model

Workshop by Katerina Karakoli

23rd August 2019 from 14.30-18.30 (max. number of participants: 30)

Deep Democracy is a process-oriented (psychology) approach to conflict and evolution. It is a way of working with ourselves and people and can be applied to all leaders that want to lead with presence.

The Deep Democracy model has 3 levels of experience:

These should be congruent, otherwise we provide double signals. Apparently, the hidden information of double signals allows non-verbal information to travel faster than words.
