ABOUT NAMIBIA
Namibia is a very dry country with the capital Windhoek lying in between two deserts (Kalahari and
Namib Desert). There are two seasons in a year: a rainy season (December-march) and a dry season
(April-November). The winter (June – August) is generally dry with degrees during the day up to 25 °C
and to minus 4 °C during night. In summer temperature go up to 40 °C during the day and 15 °C during
the night.
But Namibia is not only a dry, sandy empty space! There are so many different landscapes ranging from
the very humid, green Caprivi area, over the dry desert to the coast. As diverse as the landscape are the
people. Even though having the second lowest population density worldwide with only 2.2 million
people on 825,615 km2 the cultural diversity is high. The majority of the Namibian population is of the
Ovambo ethnicity, which forms about half of the population. Other ethnic groups are the Herero and
Himba people, who speak a similar language, and the Damara, who speak the same "click" language as
the Nama. The official language is English, while Afrikaans and German are known by a big percentage of
the population.
ABOUT SPARK
Spark is the national conference of AIESEC in
Namibia. It’s the first conference for our new
members that got recruited two weeks ago.
Because of that functional sessions and skills
sessions are on a basic level.
Anyhow we also accommodate our more
experienced members with leadership sessions and
personal development.
SPARK is designed to spark the leadership in our
members and set the fire for AIESEC in them.
