Introduction Role/ Key responsibilities Working conditions Application process Application questionnaire

Dear Reader, When I heard of the idea of Poland hosting International Congress in 2016 for the first time I thought: These people are crazy, it’s impossible to do it. Even though we organized it twice before, I couldn’t believe we could do it again. Seeing the scale of International Congress in Taiwan and Egypt, I thought it’s far beyond the reach of our entity. While collecting the memories from the International Congresses in 1996 and 2006 that happened in Poland, and preparing my Congress Committee President Application, I proved myself wrong.

We are ready. Period. It will be challenging, that’s true. But isn’t AIESEC here to challenge people and provide them with opportunities to develop their potential to the fullest? You have now, a one of a kind opportunity, to join me in making a dream come true. A dream that I call International Congress happening in 2016 in Poland. How many chances in your life will you have to make something that remarkable?

This conference, not only holds strong relevance for AIESEC as an organization but also for our country. Having 1000 young leaders from all around the world, we can bring polish citizens, THE government and other organizations closer to our mission and values. We need a spark that will unite young people and make them care and do more for our country. I promise, I will do my best to take this conference outside AIESEC and engage all possible sectors in making it happen. Poland simply deserves it.

If you are up TO this challenge, if you can dream beyond imagination, if you care for AIESEC and Poland as a country … what are you waiting for?

Regards, Magda Sowierszenko, President | AIESEC 68th International Congress 2016, Poland
