FOREWORD Dear all, It has been one year since July 2016 and for us, in AIESEC, it means me for change of na onal execu ve board. We func on like this since our founda on in 1966 because of various reasons. First of all, we are an organisa on of young people led by young people. From our new members to members in leadership posi ons, our members are 18 to 25, maximum 30 years old. Second reason is nature of our organisa on – we develop young people through interna onal prac cal experiences and work on real projects, internal part of organisa on works on same principles. We want every members who joins to give maximum and then to u lize it a erwards. Last but not least, we want to give the opportunity to lead the organisa on to the biggest amount of young people possible. Our term starts in June and finishes in July, and that is the period this final report describes, specifically in years 2016 and 2017. Since founda on of our first local commi ee in 1966 – at that me as part of AIESEC Czechoslovakia – it has been 50 years, and we are happy to be the ones who started to write beginning of this new chapter. A lot has changed during those 50 years. We are not matching our interns with opportuni es by matching paper forms during interna onal conferences. We are not limited by working with students of universi es with economic and management background. And we are no more organising only corporate, professional internships in mul na onal corpora ons. In term 2016/2017 we managed to engage more then 22 000 young people through various projects. On behalf of na onal execu ve board 2016/2017 of AIESEC in Slovakia I would like to thank to all our current and former members, partners, supporters and friends, who have been helping us during this journey. Also thanks to you, we believe that next genera on of AIESEC will acomplish even more.
Tomáš Susedík Country Manager AIESEC Slovensko
ABOUT AIESEC AIESEC was founded a er the Second World War by a group of young people from Europe (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden). Our fundamentals were shaped by to social, economic and poli cal climate of the me.
Since then, the world has been changing faster than ever before. We believe that young people hold the key to a be er future and they must learn to adapt quickly and solve problems. This is why AIESEC strives for Peace & Fulfilment of Humankind´s Poten al.
In today’s context, ‘Peace’ does not necessarily mean only avoiding war. Peace can symbolize a world that does not have conflicts that arise from cultural, religious, or other aspects of differences in humanity. Peace can also symbolize being in harmony with yourself. AIESEC strives to build a world where people can work towards their own understanding of peace while respec ng and understanding the views of others. Through “Fulfilment of Humankind’s Poten al“ AIESEC strives for a world where people can be the best version of themselves.
We place our confidence in youth because they have the passion, dynamism and entrepreneurial spirit that are needed to shape the future. They have the responsibility to improve tomorrow by choosing who they will be today. AIESEC is a pla orm for young people to explore and develop their leadership poten al. A er going through an experience with AIESEC, young people are be er prepared to make a posi ve impact in any sphere they would choose.
AIESEC’s leadership development model seeks to prepare youth to take a stand on what they care about and become capable to make a difference through their everyday ac ons. That is why our answer is to develop the characteris cs according to the biggest world trends.

•
Empowering others Communicates efe vely in diverse environments Develops & empowers other people Engages with others to achieve a bigger purpose Solu on Oriented Adapts and shows resilience in the face of challenges Transmits posi vity to move forward throughout uncertainty Takes risks when needed Self Awareness Understands and lives personal values Focuses on strengths over weaknesses Explores one’s passions World Ci zen Believes in their ability to make a dierence in the world Interested in the world issues Enjoys taking responsibility for improving the world
We develop these characteris cs through prac cal experiences which AIESEC offers. It includes interna onal exchanges and team exeriences. AIESEC provides an opportunity for young people to work or volunteer abroad in non-familiar environments. This allows them to step outside their comfort zone and expand their worldview, while contribu ng to the ommunity in which they are working. Living such experiences enables eople to build a be er understanding of how to communicate and capitalize on diversity in our increasingly connected world. AIESEC members work in teams to create and manage these cross-cultural exchange experiences. Thisprovides an opportunity for our members to live powerful team experiences and develop their own leadership poten al.
TERM HIGHLIGHTS Our Global Volunteer projects were aligned with Sustainable Development Goals in coopera on with United Na ons. Strategic team for Educate Slovakia was created for next round of the project for January – February 2018. Concept of the project was updated and we started to recruit interna onal trainees one year before the next round of the project starts. Lot of focus was put on interna onal rela ons with our partner countries for our na onal project EDUCATE Slovakia in order to a ract their youth for coming for exchange to Slovakia and improve their experience. New strategy was piloted for Global Entrepreneur for enablers – Global Entrepreneur was transformed into project to connect our Slovak start-ups with talented young people from abroad. Thanks to that our opera ons are more scalable. AIESEC brand was refreshed. Our product Global Ci zen was rebranded as Global Volunteer and Global Entrepreneur was launched as new product. Email lead nurturing system was implemented to ensure regular and efficient communica on with customers. Expansion ini a ves were started at Žilina University, Slovak Technical University and at private universi es in Bra slava. Quality of the conferences increased in comparison with previous year. Feedbacks from our delegates were 95% posi ve and all our partners are interested in further coopera on on our conferences as they find them very well organized and useful. Knowledge management of AIESEC members was digitalised. New hub with updated ar cles was established. Thanks to that we also improved data collec on and archiva on of knowledge. Team experience of our members was improved by implemen ng team standards for all teams. On-boarding process was standardised to 10 day task based induc on to ensure on the job learning of newcomers. Selec on of members was aligned with our value proposi on, Leadership Development Model. Useful data about mo va on of our members, their experiences, organisa onal culture and sa sfac on were gathered during Biannual Membership Survey.

LOCAL HIGHLIGHTS
AIESEC in Nitra has started to closely cooperate with facul es of Constan ne the Philosopher University to make internships more approachable for students. City of Nitra provided us with the venue for our summer project and we agreed on closer coopera on in the near future. Together with the language ins tute E-KU we prepared special discount packages for young people so that language is not a barrier when talking about traveling abroad. Thanks to our partnership with CENTRO Nitra it was possible to organize various events in the area of the shopping centre. We were also invited to various events, e.g. by ÚPSVaR to JobEXPO or by EURES to highs-school event, to promote possibili es that are available for youth. AIESEC in Trnava has started coopera on with Trnavská University on February 2017. University agreed to promote our events, membership and exchanges. Both of the universi es that we cooperate with agreed to finance this year conferences - EuroXpro and ITtTs. AIESEC in Trnava also started coopera on with the town which is promo ng our marke ng campaigns. We also started coopera on with City center Aréna, where we had our event. AIESEC in Banská Bystrica during April and May 2017 created closer coopera on with organisa ons working with development of youth such as Erasmus Student Network and SAIA. We spread awareness about benefits of volunteering abroad through common radio appearance and taking part in delivery of Erasmus Student Network Slovakia na onal conference. City of Banska Bystrica supported event Global Village, held at the end of May 2017 with aim to promote the town and goals of project Educate Slovakia, which brought foreign students to create mul cultural dialoque among youth in Banská Bystrica.
GLOBAL VOLUNTEER Global Volunteer is a cross-cultural experience for youth who want to gain personal development and leave an impact on the world. EXPERIENCE NEW CULTURES There’s nothing quite like being in a brand new country, living and volunteering with people from all around. Imagine the things you’d learn! MAKE YOUR IMPACT You can make a difference in the world, it starts with that first step. Contribute towards the Sustainable Development Goals and tackle the issues you’re most passionate about. PUSH YOURSELF OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE If you don’t try and experience new things, you’ll never find your full poten al. Challenge yourself, and discover the best version of you.
During past year we have been focusing on our product Global Volunteer. I believe that in current context this product is more than relevant. During Global Volunteer our interns go through intense interna onal experience, discover and get to know different cultures and are provided with facilita on to improve their leadership quali es such as focusing on their strenghts, empowering others towards common goal, solu on orienta on and world ci zenship. During our term we focused on coopera ng with AIESEC en es to provide our customers the best experience possible and ensure quality standards in challenging environment. Moreover, our exchange par cipants contributed to Sustainable Development Goals defined by United Na ons. I truly believe that next Pavla Raba nová genera ons will be able to build on our work B2C Marke ng and provide more meaningful experiences to young people in Slovakia. AIESEC Slovensko
This year we focused on improving experiences of our exchange par cipants. We created internal control board, organised value delivery summit and adjusted minimum exchange standards.
Number of Global Volunteer exchange par cipants grew by 37% mainly because of the reason, that this product was given a focus for summer 2017. Thanks to that it recieved strategic support.

PROJECTS FOR ORGANISATIONS It has been 5 years since AIESEC in Slovakia started to organize project EDUCATE Slovakia. I had a chance to co-create the new concept of the project in 2014 and because of close connec on to the project I was very happy to become the na onal project manager of EDUCATE Slovakia. As a project manager of the biggest na onal project of AIESEC in Slovakia I feel very proud of our results which we achieved during january in 2017. It was a huge challenge from its beginning but at the end our effort was aknowledged by ge ng award for the ,,Best volunteering project of year 2016“. During my term I organized two edi ons of EDUCATE Slovakia – for schools and kindergartens. EDUCATE Slovakia for schools was organized in january and in may 2017, edi on for kindergartens was organized in january, june and july 2017. I believe that every single student at school and child in kindergarten was posi vely impacted by the workshops which our interns delivered. The feedback from students and schools was very posi ve and I believe that all involved 22 000 students of both edi ons of the project will become change-makers for our country in the future.
Kris na Kancková Customer Experience Organisa ons AIESEC Slovensko
Project ,,EDUCATE Slovakia“ brings young people from different parts of the world to do lectures and interac ve workshops to primary, secondary and high schools, which help the youth to become more self-aware and tolerant. Project ,,EDUCATE Slovakia – Kindergartens“ brings students from different parts of the world to become a part of teaching process in Slovak kindergartens. We want to encourage them from their early age to have a global mindset full of tolerance and cultural understanding trough experience interac ve classes, games, songs, poems which will contribute to their open-minded a tude.
,,Friendly approach of interns encouraged kids to communicate in english language without being afraid. Students said that they have very good feeling from he project and they would like to par cipate during following year. Proof of unusual success of the project is that despite of flu holiday we had at the school. majoriy of students who were part of the project came to school even though they could stay at home and they used a chance to par cipate in the project during last day. ZŠ A Felcána, Hlohovec We realised huge differences between our country and countries our interns came from. SPŠ elektrotechnická, Hálova 16, Bra slava What I appreciate the most is that intern invited us to country he came from. I learned a lot about Brazil and I improved my english skills. Michal Urban, Levoča (host family) This environment really make me to be more tolerant to people, try to accept them, be reflec ve, adapt yourself to new places and people. This internship showed me that it is really challenging and fun to meet so many new people, different languages, taught me to adapt really fast, Slovaks are welcoming, super fan, super kind, I had no problem and really enjoyed it.

I was glad to be part of genera on, which started to build knowledge of department not just in sales processes, but also in customer experience management. The key success of member commission was mental switch in percep on of area and I was proud to see we started to focus more on experience of exchange program par cipants. We collected and finalized know-how in legal processes for our interns, who are outside of Schengen Zone, developed simple frameworks for coaching and mentoring touchpoints with interns – focused on personal goal se ngs, Jakub Malachovský support systems and experience evalua on. Customer Experience I believe next genera ons can build on all of it and make it even be er in upcoming years. Companies
AIESEC Slovensko
Main reason why we decided to go into coopera on with AIESEC was opportunity to get someone interna onal with specific local language to our company, what helps us while expanding to different countries. Daisy brought new perspec ve and foreign experience which is not available in Slovakia. For us, as a company considering expansion abroad is having person from that specific environment and market the most important. Even though she was not a specialist, she was s ll growing up in that country and has overview about it and how it works there. She had overview not only about the market, but also about life of ordinary people and how people here think, she knew what works there. Of course, we have implemented a lot of those things. We have been kindly surprised by her a tude towards work. We could see that there is different aproach to work in Asia than here. Daisy came to work and when she was working on something, she didn´t interupt her work unless she was done. She was working un l her assigment was completed. This approach also posi vely impacted all of our employees. MNFORCE

AIESEC MEMBERSHIP We believe youth leadership can be developed in anyone. By joining as members, young people have the chance to develop these leadership quali es through volunteering for an AIESEC team locally. AIESEC members are challenged to lead teams, ge ng prac cal experiences that teach them how to empower others. They work on projects and tasks that require them to think outside the box, take risks, and ul mately be solu on-oriented in the face of challenges. They are becoming world ci zens and join a community that takes responsibility for improving the world together. They ’ll become more self-aware about their passions, values and find themselves in the process. Recruitment Plan fulfillment Reten on Rate Produc vity
Autumn 2016 93% 55% 0,75
Spring 2017 46% 69% 1
Autumn Recruitment This semester is always fruit in terms of number of people recruited yet plan fulfilment of 93% (172 members) was a very crucial achievement from a talent management perspec ve. It allowed us to start the term off on the right foot and move ahead with the opera on strategy.
Conference Delivery Four na onal conferences were delivered with the agenda focusing on four key areas : a) Opera onal prepara on for upcoming peak) Workshops(by companies and interna onal facilitators) to upgrade exis ng so and hard skills of membership) Downscaling of interna onal and na onal ini a ves d) Self-reflec on spaces for members to understand their experience be er. The decision to go ahead with the same agenda & conference managers for all conferences for the term turned out to be very effec ve. It not only allowed us to ensure a coherent, need-based perfect delivery but also helped us improve with each a empt . It was affirmed by the posi ve feedbacks a er each conference.
Summer Produc vity Produc vity in the summer peak has been a long standing issue averaging approximately 0.3 exchanges per member over the last few terms. However, with the change of strategy to focus opera ons and educa on on another product for the summer peak we have already managed to jump past 1 exchange per member and it is expected to reach approx. 1.5 be the end of the peak.
I couldn´t imagine what it means to lead a team before I took up the opportunity in AIESEC. Since then, it has been a revela on. First at all, it gave me a responsibility, something a lot of young people are missing. I realized it isn´t just about me, but it is also about people who believe in me, and they gave me a chance to try something new, to show up myself. With the responsibility I learnt how to manage my me be er to make sure that the en re team was on track. Working with all these different people and learning not to say “NO” has kept me going and made me a be er team leader. Goal-se ng, feedbacking, re-evalua on and the list of things learnt goes on and on. The best part is that you can make mistakes without shame but at the same me ensure you learn from them. Aneta Kmecová My experience as Local Commi ee VicePresident has been great for a number of reasons. First of all, I have had the opportunity to do things that I never though I would be doing as a 20 year old, things like handling the en re recruitment cycle for the commi ee. It has not only given me a much needed professional experience but added more skills to my skillset. Moreover, it has helped me manage my me be er and to be crea ve at problem solving, and all of this in the organisa on of like-minded young people. Viktória Šúšová During my role as Local Commi ee President for AIESEC in Trnava I have had the opportunity to lead an execu ve board and commi ee to achieve the a common goal, leadership development. To have that kind of responsibility is the most difficult but also the most enriching experience.I have learnt to deal with very stressful situa ons and work with different kinds of people under almost any circumstances that can happen. But my role doesn’t stop at managing my team. It is a lot more. As a part of this role I have also worked on crea ng and maintaining rela ons with external stakeholders and partners. This entails working with universi es, town council and other organiza ons driven by similar impact and visions. All in all it has been a very intense experience so far and I look forward to learning a lot more in the coming months. Dagmar Fábiková

Their valuable inputs helped our members to improve our processes right a er the conferences. We consider this partnership as very enriching for both sites, and we are very lucky that we have already closed partnership for term 17/18 as well. How SYNERGIE evaluates our partnership? “It is not only about us delivering workshop and quality of it depends on us. It is not only about us. It is about how people at workshop work and cooperate. And that is why we are always coming back to AIESEC conferences, because here we can find people we need. ” Barbara Kotlárová Customer Experience Manager CZ-SK, Synergie Slovensko

FINANCIAL RESULTS AIESEC in Slovakia achieved profit of 3609.08 €, not including sales pipeline of 4 400 € and investments of 2 211 € for the next term which we believe will support financial and non-financial results in near future. This year was very crucial in terms of connec ng financial opera ons with exchange results on both na onal and local level, thus improving the understanding of finance and its role in the organisa on One of the biggest successes is without doubt project Educate Slovakia which not only no ceably impacted Slovakia, it also supported financial sustainability of the en ty. Thanks to new pricing model, including financial indicators since planning of the project, synergies and the exchange results achieved, all Local commi ees achieved profit for the project. Globally, finance processes went through fast changes and innova ons since 2015 while improvement of processes in Slovakia stayed rigid un l the second part of the term when we started implemen ng new accoun ng so ware, made internal audit processes more effec ve, focus moved to financial management and synergies with front office. By focusing on cash-flow management we were able to plan flow of receivables and liabili es not only within the en ty but also towards AIESEC Interna onal which, enabled us to pay long-term liabili es on me to re-gain full-membership in global plenary a er 2 years. The point to be kept for improvement is synergy with sales area throughout the whole term. As contribu on of sales to the na onal budget is s ll extensive, the two areas need to be in constant synergy since planning through opera ons, re-planning, evalua on. Last but not least, the en ty managed to close all former financial ma ers with Social insurance company and Health insurance company and successfully executed external audit for fiscal year 2016. Changing the direc on from many loss-making-terms to a pro table term was possible mainly thanks to these three groups of people: both genera ons of local execu ve boards who supported profitable opera ons on LC level during the term, Supervisory Group who thanks to their professional inputs Adriána Filipová contributed to various valuable improvements in the area, most importantly, team members of na onal team who Finance manager always considered finances amongs their own indicators AIESEC Slovensko and ac vi es and thus enabled more sustainable products.
