On the road to 2012!
by C:F Team on 28th December, 2011 at 11:21 AM CEST
As the New Year’s Eve is approaching, we are all thinking about what to wish for 2012, but also, reflect on what was 2011 like.
The C:F Team has done the same. We decided to look in every single detail of the past year:
Great achievements marked 2011 and the C:F world. Besides numbers we thought asking the C:F Team how was 2011 and what lies ahead. Straight from the C:F Office:
1. What have you learnt from C:F in 2011?
Andreja, president and founder of C:F says: “The 2011 was the year that changed the world. Not only by events but by million voices around the globe who broke the ceiling of invisibility and started the change. And so did Challenge:future. The real impact happened.” Nadya, C:F Vice President, learnt that the world is much stronger, much more connected, and much more trustworthy than she ever imagined. “Just a few words posted online - and thousands of us are off to different corners, doing really meaningful stuff,” – she adds.
Dan, Sandra Bistra and Sayanee agree that this year has been packed with events, challenges and lots of developments for C:F. The C:F team learned that no matter how many hurdles we have to jump, with a great team and a dedicated C:F Community, anything is possible.
2. What are you enthusiastic about C:F in 2012?
What else if not the C:F Summit 2012!:)
Dan announces “an amazing global event, with some once in a lifetime opportunities for both participants and organizers.”
“I can only imagine what C:F Summit 2012 would bring,” Nadya adds.
Sayanee and Bistra can’t wait to meet all the people they are in touch with online all this time: “Can't be more enthusiastic to explore into the thoughts and minds of many youths worldwide!”
3. What would you wish for C:F in the upcoming year or years?
Nadya wishes lots of love and lots of courage. “The rest will come,” she says.
“I wish C:F to keep up the spirit and belief that things can be changed, and together we can achieve the (im)possible and have a global impact. I wish C:F to be a part of every young man’s dream of creating a better future,” Dan states.
Sayanee wishes C:F “to make deep impact across all the world, quiet ripples led by passionate youths.” Bistra focuses her wish on “maintaining the spirit of unity and belonging that we all feel and share and making 2012 a year of unforgettable youth impact!”
What is most important to notice is that behind all these sentences and numbers, behind all the impact made, each one of you has left their own trace, their own mark. And that is why C:F is so amazing!

wow!! so nice and lovely lessons from C:F desk!!- Thanks for sharing it ;)
-I learnt that opportunities are all around; maybe initial trials were not so good, but everyday there is a chance to try it harder and make it work.
-C:F opened me doors that I would never thought I would achieve.
-I wish to keep the enthusiasm and optimism to try it harder in the next edition (s)... and who knows... to be the lucky one ... the Grand Prize winner :)))
Lots of hugs and love for the entire C:F Community!!!!

to be very honest before C:F I had long boring holidays and eventually most of time i spend was in fun,games and movies though someone can say that these things create a positive attitude but not a great impact. C:F which I spends mytime is something like more moral and spritual.
While working on Y4Y Challenge and realizing the beauty, worth of us and among ourselves. C:F gave me oppurtunity to go beyond limits... When I started my chapter I was one single man... and now I can say I have bunch of workers who are enthusastic and working in different universities not only but in different parts of word...
for me C:F is a beauty, to utilize ourselves... its like a amazing experince which glorifies Leadership,Sustainability,Real ization & Critical thinking way....
due to C:F team spirit I saw I started my projects earlier now(engineering) and doing great...
Wishing all a great year ahead 2012 :) & ofcourse the ultimate experince as Dan explained to me SUMMIT 2012
Hail C:F
