MEMBER COMMITTEE PRESIDENT AIESEC in Denmark | GEN 19.20
Application Booklet
The letter from the MCPc Hej, brave individual! It's a pleasure for me to open the possibility to have a new President for this magical en�ty, where I've spent almost a year and a half of my life and I would s�ll do for many years. If you are applying to be the next MCP, make sure that it is because you feel it inside by knowing the huge poten�al it has and because you feel ready to make real the dreams of every single member in the organiza�on. I must let you know that this is not the en�ty it was one year ago. AIESEC in Denmark is now ready to go to the next level a�er showing how it can grow con�nuously and implement new ways of management, being able to be an en�ty able to give GCPs to the rest of the network. And remember, a plan is a dream with a deadline and concrete ac�on steps, so... Are you ready to take the #DanishDynamite to the next level? Juan Manuel Marfil | MCP 18.19
About Denmark Denmark is one of the Scandinavian countries that are united by the Welfare State, very similar languages and shared values. Being the smallest country that once was ruling them all, Denmark cherishes the exis�ng hate-love rela�onship today. You might know Denmark for LEGO, for windmills, pharmaceu�cals, or hygge, Copenhagen, its capital, is a vibrant city where everyone rides the bike, enjoys long summer nights outdoors, and where old red bricks meet modern Nordic architecture in perfect harmony. Danish poli�cs is shaped by many poli�cal par�es that tradi�onally separate in two blocks, but that is slightly shaken. Since years, the populists are able to shape the agenda. Though na�onal roman�cism in the past, especially a�er 1864, had helped to build the welfare we have today through unity. Denmark was the most equal country in the world in 2015 and among the top five greenest countries in 2016. We have con�nuously liberated rights for homo- and bisexuals and single parents. The first cons�tu�on from 1849 was the most progressive in Europe at that time.
AIESEC in Denmark
AIESEC in Denmark | Founding En�ty AIESEC in CBS | Founding LC During the past terms, we have struggled with declining exchange performance, a fast ou�lux of new members, and confusion about the product focus. But the curve has changed! As many western countries, also AIESEC in Denmark might struggle with defining its relevance in today’s society. Nonetheless, our plenary is certain about why our increased efforts are important. Our current focuses are iGT, oGV and oGE supported by an MC of six people and an OD Model implemented for the first �me in this en�ty throughout this term (18.19). Furthermore, one LC runs iGV. The cons�tuents of AIESEC in Denmark are the LCs, represented by their LCPs in the Board of Directors. The hierarchy is flat and involvement high, similarly to the general working Danish culture. Currently, we have 3 na�onal conferences Al�us, For�us, Ci�us), together with an EB Summit every January and several func�onal En�ty Visits /Func�onal Mee�ngs during the term.
Local Committees in Denmark Aalborg
Aarhus Horsens Copenhagen Odense
Copenhagen is one of the ci�es with the highest standard of living. Unfortunately, that also a�racts a lot of people and the housing market can be a real struggle. Once se�led, the many parks, cafés, lakes and channels, and cultural ac�vi�es give plenty of opportuni�es for gathering new thoughts and energy. The office is located in an entrepreneurial office building. While being the most expensive city, Copenhagen gives a strategic proximity to business, social and public sector. The LC that is furthest away, Aalborg, can be reached with a 4-hour train ride. Since hostels in Denmark are expensive, not to men�on hotels, our na�onal conferences and summits happen at (high) schools where we sleep on own air ma�resses. Carrying the dream of AIESEC, results will come through challenges that will make us grow as an en�ty and as a team.
