About Mexico The heart of Aztec, Zapotec, Mayan and Spanish cultures. A land rich in history and traditions. Where the food is diverse, flavorful, authentic and spicy, a fusion of indigenous Mesoamerican and European elements. One can experience the vivid colors and exquisite landscapes of each city, while encountering the friendliest of people. From the North, to the center, to the South, each region offers something different, something exciting, something worth talking about Tacos, pyramids, sombreros, tequila...Yes, we have that. But Mexico is so much more. Discover the beauty for yourself. #BecauseWeAreSoMuchMore #VivaMéxico
AIESEC in Mexico & The SDGs Sustainable Development Goals, are a universal set of goals, targets and indicators that UN member states will be expected to use to frame their agendas and political policies over the next 15 years. These goals aim to achieve three extraordinary things in the next 15 years: end extreme poverty, fight inequality and justice, and fix climate change. With “Viva Mexico” as our main hub for incoming internships, AIESEC in Mexico aims to align what we do around what Mexico really needs and what it needs is to know The Global Goals, but more importantly, understand how they can contribute for the development of a better country for the fulfillment of our vision as Organization. Through our incoming exchange, our mission is to develop relevant projects and activities that impact and directly contribute to The Global Goals.
VIVAMÉXICO Viva México In order for AIESEC in Mexico to contribute towards building a better country, we recognized the importance of aligning our Incoming Global Volunteer projects to The Global Goals of the UN. Viva Mexico is the celebration of the best we’ve got, in this case focusing on our social projects. ‘Por México’ is the concept we developed to address the needs and issues within Mexico, with each specific project addressing one Global Goal. We aim to provide tangible solutions and actions towards these issues. Through our projects, we strive to empower youth, communities and government to act with a sense of urgency in building a better Mexico. @VivaMxAIESEC
