AIESEC is an international platform for young people to discover and develop their potential. Our aim is to give people the capacity and desire to have a positive impact in society - a person we refer to as a “change agent.� Together with AIESEC Platform, this is our approach to creating young people with desires, skills, and attitudes to make a difference in society. That is the AIESEC Difference.
AIESEC Experience The following diagram shows the different steps in being an AIESEC member. All members go through a formal introduction to the organization and then begin to take on responsibility in some area. They then have the option to take on leadership, work abroad, or both. The final step is to head to the future - to take the skills, inspiration, and networks from AIESEC to have a positive impact in society. This flow and the opportunities within it were built on the following principles.
Taking an Active Role AIESEC will provide the opportunities and some support, but it is ultimately up to the individual to make the most of those opportunities. Each individual must take responsibility for his/her experience within AIESEC. Each individual must also take responsibility for the organization. It is through the collective efforts and commitments of everyone involved in AIESEC that we are able to
provide so many opportunities - some 350 conferences, 3500 work abroad opportunities, and 5000 leadership positions, among other activities.
Developing Self-Awareness and Personal Vision We think young people need more space and support to answer fundamental questions such as “What is important to me?” and “How do I want to contribute to the world?”. AIESEC supports young people in clarifying and expanding their ambitions through mentorship, personal vision exercises, an inspiring environment, and providing intense experiences that challenge their view of the world and their role within it. Increasing Your Capacity Through conferences, work abroad opportunities, and the management of our offices, we provide young people with the opportunity to increase theoretical knowledge in a wide-range of functional and soft skills and the opportunity to put it into practice. Building a Network People need a network of support that can guide and encourage them towards their vision and goals. Through conferences, learning networks, innovative on-line platforms, and a growing alumni network, AIESEC provides young people with the opportunity to create a strong and global network to support them in their personal and professional pursuits. Challenging Worldview Through intense experiences such as conferences, working abroad, and engaging in diverse environments, AIESEC “shakes up” the way young people see the world. A stronger and more holistic view of the world enables them to more easily incorporate new perspectives, see interdependencies, and identify ways to positively impact any given situation. In short, we are providing young people with experiences that will not only develop their potential as individuals but also help to best direct with a clear purpose of having a positive impact on society.
