Introduction Since its creation, AIESEC in Algeria has been a fast-growing entity, especially during the past few years. However, in order to go faster and further, it needs to have a wider reach; and to remain faithful to its vision and mid-term ambition, it has to become more accessible to the Algerian youth. Thus, many groups of young people worked hard to be able to open expansions in their Wilayas, such as Tlemcen, Illizi, Medea, Annaba and Bejaia. This list can be longer, and we are sure many other cities and regions have the potential to run the AIESEC operations all over Algeria, in order to allow their local communities, with their different cultures, traditions and mindset, to benefit from the global leadership development experiences that can be created with AIESEC.
Societies like ours really need such an opportunity, to help youth unleash its true potential, fosters innovation and creativity, facilitates openness to the world and contributes to the development of better young leaders for a better tomorrow. Through this call to action, the National Committee of AIESEC in Algeria is inviting you to take the challenge and be part of the team that will give the youth of your city, wilaya or region the chance to get more involved with AIESEC.
Are you up for it? Are you up to it ?
Why to Expand WE ARE A YOUTH LEADERSHIP MOVEMENT The expansion strategy of AIESEC in Algeria allows us to create a path for any Interest Group of young people to become a full Local Committee with a strong AIESEC culture and functional knowledge to sustain all our exchange products. It is also a tool for us to achieve the AIESEC 2020 ambition, which is to be accessible to everyone everywhere, while growing disruptively and shaping what we do around what society, our country and the world need.
