Introduction I know I am young and I look young… Still, I promise that: - I will only talk about my own experience; - I will only talk about what young people think, as a representative of the biggest youth-driven organisation in the world; - I will only talk about what my business partners told me; The rest?

  7. The AIESEC Way What is AIESEC? What we Envision? Our Impact The Way we do it Our Values The AIESEC Way is not only a description of - the way (manner) we aim to make a positive impact on society, but also describes - the way (road) we are taking to achieve what we envision. Those values create a philosophy in which AIESECers believe, both as AIESECers and as individuals. Thereby, AIESEC develops not only responsible youth, but even more: values-driven leaders.

  8. AIESEC members AIESEC members aim to become agents of positive change by developing competences associated to four characteristics: - entrepreneurship; - social responsibility; - cultural sensitivity; - active learning.

  9. The AIESEC eXPerience The AIESEC XP is based on 5 principles: - Take an active role in your learning and the learning of others - Challenge worldview - Meta-cognition and personal reflexion skills - Increasing practical and theoretical knowledge - Creating a network of contacts Every AIESEC activity is articulated around this experience cycle and the AIESEC competences developped through the AIESEC global learning environment.

  10. The AIESEC global learning environment The different activities of AIESEC also turn around six main elements. For example, conferences include all of these elements. These represent the way AIESEC members go through their experience and acquire their knowledge while developing their skills and competencies.

  11. The Issue-Based eXPeriences It uses the concept of T-Leadership (1) a comprehensive set of leadership skills (listening, coshing, communicating, etc.) (2) An integral awareness of how to proactively use such skills to make a difference in a specific area, given his/her knowledge and understanding of the issue in question. Examples of current issues members choose to work on: HIV/AIDS, Entrepreneurship, EU integration, Bridging the Gap, ICT education…
